when will the madness stop?!

seriously though, when will i quit coughing!  i've been coughing since thursday, and it's only getting worse!  i coughed through my entire REL and HWC classes today, and it was so embarrassing!  (not to mention coughing gives me a headache, and causes my throat to hurt all over again)

on another (depressing) note, no trip to minneapolis for me over fall break.  :(  i was really looking forward to visiting the city when it was over 30°F for once.  but, what can i do?  my funds are just simply too limited.  instead, i'm going to make the most of my time around here, and finish some painting, read a bit, try to visit sara, and take ruby to the vet for her bi-annual check up.  (maybe take her to the groomer to give her a bath!)  perhaps we'll take a day to visit KC.. though i'm not terribly fond of KC...

more bitchiness!  i have so much to read this week. seriously.  and then cram for miterms next week!  OY OY OY OY OY!  

is there any good news in my life?!  LOL of course!  

for instance, i've got a roof over my head, and i've got a daughter that adores me - (oh wait, that's 'cos she's a puppy hahaha!), i've got some terribly amazing friends!  and i'm going to go see a show with my little sister tonight.  

i think i am also going to treat myself to some portraits on the wall.  (IKEA direct here i come! hahahaha)  don't worry, i'm only going to get one piece.  the walls look awfully bare!

countin' stars

i'm not feeling much better, though, my throat isn't quite as sore.  (which in truth is pretty awesome, 'cos sore throats are the pits!)  unfortunately, my lungs are all heavy, and i keep coughing.  blah.  

oh well, at least my head isn't (quite) as cloudy... though, i'm going to make it cloudy within the next few minutes.  lol. 

i have to make sure and finish reading the custom of the country this weekend, too.  

oh, and in case i haven't told you, one of my best friends in the whole world came back from her year of peace corps this week!  i'm excited like WOAH!  and i'll get to see her next week!  happy day!

ugh, i have to go see what the dog is doing, she sounds like she's ripping something up...

sicky poo

blah, i woke up around 3a today with a sore throat.  i was really hoping it was just from all the bad allergies.  alas, it was not.  i've had a bad sore throat since then.  and my head is all stuffy, and i coughed constantly in class today.  

but that's alright.  i took a benedryl and now i feel really loopy (i'm a cheap date, what can i say)  i kinda like how i feel after i take a bendryl, but my mouth always gets dried out after a few hours.  

on a completely unrelated note:

i have two big ol' butternut squashes, i'm at a quandary for how i should cook them.  i can make my never fail curried squash soup, but i'm getting kinda burnt out on it.  so i have to figure out what to do now.  

okay.  not substantive.  i'll write more tomorrow, when i'll (G-d willing) be feeling better.

shalom folksters.
