Here I am - sick on a Friday. I have got a small cold here and I stayed home to get better. I am watching episodes of Chopped on the TV, talking to my mom and sniffling. This week I had a Board Meeting at work that went well and now I am done on events for a while. I have some fun events to plan for the summer for staff but that will be easy.

Tonight I am having a friend over and we are watching Frozen. I have not seen that yet. Excited about that!

Anyhoo. Hope all is well with you.

I am fighting being sick with everything I have. I have a sore throat and aches and am feeling run down. I had to go into work today to do a lunch event and then came home early. I got provisions on the way home - soup and crackers and homeopathic immune support remedies to blast this illness away. Nuking it from orbit - it is the only way to be sure.

I won't be sick.
I won't be sick.
I won't be sick.

Clicking my heels together.

Well I am sick. Sore throat, achey yech. I was hoping it would miraculously go away by today and I have been sick since Friday night, Saturday morning but no dice. I stayed home today. I don't believe in infecting co-workers and really hate when people come in when sick. I am handling essentials here and resting. I don't feel well and why spread my germs all over there? All the flu posters say stay home when you are sick.

I slept some and watched the special features on my Casino Royale dvd. I am loving Daniel Craig as James Bond. We caught up on Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale this weekend and just loved them. I heart me Daniel Craig as 007. I know people disagree but for me, he is my favorite Bond so far. I grew up with Roger Moore and Sean Connery, I know, I know but I like this interpretation. Everyone has an opinion on that, legitimately but I like this one.

My friend is still here and is leaving tomorrow. We have had a fun time chilling and relaxing this week. She took off and went on a tour of Alcatraz today and is doing some things in SF. Sight seeing. Always good to do here. I am planning to go visit here in Vegas in January or February. Tres excited about that! Woot.

So hope all is well with you there and that you had a fun Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. I should put up my tree but don't feel well enough to wrestle it out of the closet. I will get to that this week.

Anyhoo. Post holiday post on in. Cheers to you all!

So I am a bit better but still am sick - congested and so so tired. I managed to drag myself to work for part of the day yesterday and get my projects into shape so I would take my vacation next week. I really did not want to have to go into work next week. I wanted the whole week off and all that free time. But really - that partial day of work knocked me out and lay me flat. I got a bit worried and went in to see the doctor today just to be sure I did not have some walking form of pneumonia or bronchial thing happening. I just wanted her to listen to my lungs and tell me all was clear. She did and all is clear. She said I just need to rest and gave me some good suggestions on over the counter things to do - hydrate, regular Robitussun and Tylenol. Low tech and very do-able.

This rest thing is not easy for me. I find I have trouble just doing that and am used to doing things. I guess I have an active mind or am hyper-active. Doing nothing is not so easy.

So that is what is going on. Trying to do nothing and rest. Sipping tea and watching Law and Order reruns on the television. Turning down invitations to do things. I don't have a clear idea of what is going on for Thanksgiving. Some sort of food but the menu has not come together yet. We might come up with a non-turkey plan (gasp).

Anyhoo. Hope you are well and having a good weekend. Cheers to you and yours.

I am under the weather and feeling achy, flu (ish) sick this weekend. Not doing much of anything but resting here. All bets are off and I guess that is the best thing to do. I had movie plans that I have had to cancel and am laying low. Good things on my Dish so am keeping entertained. I find I can nap as much as I want so I am sleeping a lot and hanging out here. Sometimes that is what you have to do, eh? Making some Fall graphics too.

Doing some beta work and enjoying that a lot. Good stories coming up for Ardor in August. I hope that you will enjoy those.

Cheers to all and to all a good weekend.

I am on the mend but this flu has held on longer than I thought it would or should. Le grippe. I went back to work on Thursday but still felt tired and sick. I finally got out and took an exercise walk on Saturday and while it was difficult, it felt good to be out in the sun and moving. I am ready to move on from being ill and so I will.

Green Hornet review. I loved this movie...it entertained on many levels, lots of cool car stuff and Kato as the side kick, mechanic and integral part of the team did not disappoint. I really like Seth Rogen in this movie as the millionaire, newspaper owner's son playboy type who discovers his ethical center. And Cameron Diaz who I usually cannot stand was fun here as the gorgeous brainiac. Very fun, very camp and lots of green in it. The cars were retro and fun. I have to say a word about the end credits...if you see this in 3D be sure to keep your glasses on for the whole end of the movie. The end credits are very visually interesting and WOW. They pop out of the screen and are graphically designed to be ZOWIE. Just wanted to let you know that. Anyways...I really recommend this movie as good solid entertainment and for the laugh factor. Also--the villain gives a subtle performance which is very amusing. It all works for me.

The joy of the long weekend is evident in that I am not having my usual Sunday melancholy set in. I have a wide open Monday. I might go for another walk today and cook a nice dinner tonight.

A word on my Slashy Valentine--major work going on there. My beta, the very clever keiliss has given me some sound advice and my story is going to be retooled and used for other purposes. I am going to start ANOTHER story for this swap and hope to pull one out for this rather quickly. Fear not, I am happy about this turn of events as the story I wrote will work better for other things but now I have to get back to the drawing board on this one. More on this as it develops. Huzzah! Not done yet!

Cheers to all and have a great rest of your (long) weekend (USA).

I am fighting off a cold with all my guns blazing. I have my throat coat tea, cough drops, echinacea drops with chinese herbs along with vitamin C. *blam* I am going to get better. I wills! I wills!

I really hate having a sore throat. That is the thing I cannot stand. The only good thing about being sick is you get to stay in your jammies all day. That can be fun and I am watching my DVR stuff. Right now, morning reruns of Supernatural but Law and Order is a fave.

Thanks for commiserating. I will get better! I will rally! Tirrah! Send some positive vibes my way - a little healing mojo.

I am sick and resting this weekend. All bets are off for the Super Bowl tomorrow. I had plans but might have to cancel those depending on how I feel. I did a few errands today that I had to and then slept some and have been here resting. Have no tissues so I am using a roll of TP. How pathetic. Gah. People at work were sick and now, so am I. And I had BOTH flu shots. What good are they?

Cheers to all and hope you are doing well. Better than me anyways.
