okay, i promise, i've really had enough of being sick.
this marks the 5th new bout since the beginning of december.

and of course, everything was alligned in favor of me getting sick.
- i'm not very good about taking vitamins everyday.
- i'm very good about drinking a latte everyday.
- i've been unbelievably stressed out recently.
- and... i consequently haven't been getting sleep.

so friday night, right as i was preparing to spend all night and most of saturday preparing for our engagement party saturday night, complete with a ton of fancy hors d'oerves that i'd prepare on saturday... i felt a wicked sore throat come on. it was one of those "damnit!" moments, because i knew i deserved it.

and why am i here at work today? well, mostly for the free internet. i'm actually going to go home soon and work on the house, and our pending internet connection!!!! erik and i made a vow not to hook our TV up ever (since we're reading and conversing so much now), but there's no way in heck we can live without the info-net. my productivity at work really does depend on the availability of the internet at home.

and with that, i'm going to try to get some work done.


...okay, who am i kidding? i'm going to play on the internet.
