not not really I am home alone with the dog alternately having the chills and now I am sweating and my tonsil are enlarged so glad I spent my $15 co-pay to figure that out...
D pushed me into going to one of those minute clinics at CVS and I am glad I went the strep test came back negative but it could be a false negative so they also send it out and I should get more info in a few days however this boils down to it is probably viral and you can't take magic pills to feel better, she prescribed me something to gargle with that helps a little but my throat still hurts like hell. If there is no improvement by Monday I am going to call our family doctor because I am telling you this hurts as bad as the strep a few years ago.
The boys took MIL out to dinner I am glad for whatever reason we did not do all of the shopping for the cookout last night or there would be a pile of shrimp here I could not eat. And another thing I am not a big fan of soup, the brothy kind that is, I love clam chowder and pretty much any sort of bisque, chicken noodle not so much and I am tired of jello maybe I'll try some scrambled eggs. And I am bored out of my mind, can't concentrate enough to read a book, tv sucks and blah blah blah, not even getting into the fact that sick or not still have the final on Monday that I need to study for tomorrow isn't life grand?

was it the interweb?
so yesterday evening just surfing the net, minding my own business and out of nowhere bam a sore throat,must have downloaded a virus ha ha ha.
damn this is fan-flippin-tastic, I feel even crappier this morning, seriously can not swallow at all I am hoping some hot tea with honey will help & I'll go get some theraflu stuff here in a bit, already it feels as bad as it did when I had strep a few years ago, I so do not have time for this.
I probably piked up the cooties at C's daycare/summer camp, it just came on so quickly without any kind of warning symptoms very weird.

girl's night out hits the road
yes I got in touch with the girls up in Yankee land to organize a night out on the town, such as it is I'm telling you not much going on up in Danbury...
So I had lost touch with hmm pretty much everyone over the years but we reconnected around the time our high school reunion was being planned it was the 15th? oh alright it was the 20th let's not quibble over a few years. The past few years we try to organize a girl's night out sometimes it works out others not and honestly this past Christmas I didn't let anyone know we were up, it was the holidays we had family stuff they had family stuff no big deal.
I hadn't given it too much thought till this afternoon while I was busy trying to look busy and I emailed the bunch of them got responses quickly and everyone seems game which is great. Unfortunately there has been a whole lot of what day and where? now I can pick a day but I have no idea of the where, I think Danbury is still a good locale for everyone but specifically where who knows?
C of course wanted to know why my friends were all going to be in CT at the same time we were

pre-vacation slacker syndrome
it's what I have. and I have it baaad Dr. Missy diagnosed me.
I just do not want to do anything which sucks-there is quite a bit to do here at work especially as I will miss 7 work days, back to school is fast upon us as is my buying trip to Vegas(no really it is for work despite what D thinks), then I still have my final on Monday, my house still could use some cleaning time, laundry well it's never finished around my house, I still need a pedicure, packing for myself & the boy needs done, we are having a birthday dinner for MIL tomorrow although it will mostly involve grilling so I just have to shop & worry about side dishes.
As far as the vacating part it is usually very relaxing visiting my folks there really isn't all that much to do in my hometown, they have a mall and well that is about it-not even a Chuck-E-Cheese which surprises me but then again no one asked my opinion. They do have a train museum which we can go to and I believe we are going to spend a day at the Bronx Zoo which should be fun I have not been in many years and it is an amazing zoo so I am looking forward to that. Other than that I have a stack of books that have been ignored while I spent my weekends doing stats so I plan on maximum goof off time for CT.

one of the perks of the job
well for starters the discount. I still say it is the only reason D married me-JJ his brother forced him into it so he could also get the discount.
But also another cool thing is getting to listen to whatever we want to, normally there are 3 of us picking the selections back in the office but today it is all me and it is some pretty cheezy stuff
right now it is sounds of 1979
"bad girls talking about the sad girls sad girls talking about the bad girls...."
I'd put up a disco ball but I am pretty sure we are out right now

good grief
sorry I was soo very whiney yesterday even annoyed myself after a while.
-Made it through class-only 2 left both of which involve exams so fingers crossed people.
-Looking forward to a lunch date with the girls at Crown & Goose again with the added benefit of Magpie's just across the street. cupcakes will be involved
-Just 9 days from travel to CT to see the parental units
-work is less well, Monday so far and I plan on a leisurely lunch so hopefully not so much stress there today
-new season of Project Runway starts tomorrow
so all in all much improved mood today but it is only 11:00 am

and it has been downhill ever since
started my morning out with a minor panic attack at work-oh wait I really started out by being accosted by a homeless guy as I was walking into the store, fun when you are trying to get in the store, re-lock and dash over to the ear-splitting wake-the-dead-alarm before it goes off while carrying all your junk & a hot cup of coffee. In all fairness discovered later he was indeed a bizzman selling watches perhaps not homeless at all but I digress..
Opened my pay stub to find less than a weeks worth of hours in the vacation slot. It is not something I generally concern myself with, I get several weeks a year & rarely use all my time but going away next week just gave it a glance. As I said panic attack, figured I would have to work both days this weekend and some overtime which is not really overtime per se as I am salary but I would owe the company time. I took a moment and emailed the owner that does payroll and she in fact had already deducted my time off so no worries but it was not an amusing start to my day.
My counterpart is on vacation this week so people talk to me more when he is gone and not in a good way I have to deal with more silliness than is humanly possible at work
'cause it's not like my normal silliness is going away or anything I just have double the fun.
And I have a headache that won't go away.
And PMS.
And class tonight.

where did the weekend go?
here it is Sunday night already and I am not sure where my weekend went to...
Friday was good. A late night unusual for us, ok me these days
Saturday was a nice lazy day I kept thinking about getting off the couch and going for a pedicure but that never happened, goofed on the computer some & watched the Lance Henrikson Channel, MIL returned the boy to us with some cash but no new toys for a change. Later on the boys went to see Speed Racer at the dollar theater which is in fact not a dollar at all but $4-still a bargain because that includes the popcorn. I managed to get off the couch and meet some of the girls for dinner at Soho Cafe followed by Ben & Jerry's-Chinese food, ice cream and female bonding what could you ask for? As luck would have it the girls night started early which meant I was home in time for D to head to his poker game so we both managed some alone time.
This morning I discovered the trick to sleeping in till 9-be awake for two hours in the middle of the night-worked like a charm. A charm I hope that is not repeated tonight.
Caught up on laundry-who am I kidding? I did some laundry not caught up though, read the paper, cleaned a little, did my nails, still need a pedicure though maybe next weekend, went grocery shopping and to the dreaded Walmart-don't do that on Sundays-it was nuts! C had a gift card burning a whole in his pocket and wanted to get himself Fate next time we go a whole lot earlier or a whole lot later than 2 on a Sunday. And seriously dude that was waaaay more than 20 items can you not count? The grocery store wasn't as bad and I ran into someone I had not seen in a few months. Could not find knockwurst so we had to settle for brats which were just fine but I am looking forward to some proper German sausage from Karl Ehmer when we are in CT.
Now I've got the Sunday blahs sort of dreading the week ahead....
