Sniff, sniff…
7 Oct
I’ve caught another cold. I honestly can’t believe it – I was sick just recently, and now I have a cold. It’s not bad enough that I’m staying home from work (but apparently bad enough that my typing is affected, it took me four tries to type ‘work’), but bad enough that I kinda wish I WAS staying home from work.
Because of the swine flu, we have this rule at work that if you’re experienced flu-like symptoms, you’re supposed to stay home for 7 days to avoid infecting others. However, I seriously can not bring myself to stay home because I have a clogged nose. Work is crazy busy for me these days, and I just sent home one of my co-workers yesterday because of flu symptoms (she had a fever and a general body ache though, so she’s worse off than I am, REALLY REALLY), so there really is no way I can not be at work this week. I have, however, promised myself that once Friday is over I can be sick and just relax at home.
I’ve also started physical therapy for my achy back/thigh/hip/butt, which is…ok, I guess. I was a little shocked the first time because I had to take off so much of my clothing, but I guess I should have expected that. Last session I got a rather awesome massage, which was…rather awesome (cold is also affecting my vocabulary (so much so that it took me a while to remember the word ‘vocabulary’, I was about to just type ‘affecting my words’)). My physical therapist person is also really nice. I was a bit apprehensive at first because out of the four people who work at the place, I was booked in with the one male. However, it wasn’t all that awkward, and he’s really nice. Also, the place is in the same building as the gym I go to, so I can combine PT sessions with a good workout. Win!
In somewhat more geeky news from my life, a whole new world has opened up for me after I realised that the Xbox 360’s ability to play DivX was just an update away. It connects to my laptop without delay and streams video over the wireless network with no trouble at all. It. Is. Awesome.
24 more days until I leave for New York! No butterflies yet, but I think it still hasn’t QUITE sunk in that I am actually going there. Wow. To ANOTHER CONTINENT. To meet FAYE. And KIM. And MATT. And HANNAH. And THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. And THE DINOSAURS.
THE DINOSAURS, PEOPLE!!
Hm? Hadn’t I told you about the DivX update for the longest time ever? I think since before the Big Bang :P
It isn’t fair that we will finally be on the same continent, heck, same country even and we won’t get to see each other :/
We must at least talk on the phone.
(Hate you Matt and Kim! and Hannah maybe :P)
