Beth's Journal

It's Monday! Which means back to work again. I'm feeling a lot better, but that's probably thanks to the medications - I'd probably still be in bed right now, and would have spent the weekend in bed, if it weren't for the prednisone.

I did a LOT of cleaning this weekend. The house sparkles like Edward Cullen now. Even the kitchen. And the kitchen was nasty. Now I'm not ashamed to have people come over now! :D

Also did some weddingy stuff last night - printed out place cards, and started replacing the boring old plain cards in the frames I have with the cute new ones. I'm gonna try to get pictures of everything soonish, so anyone who cares about the wedding can see them. :) I've also printed out invitations to mail down to Kathy, so she can pass them out to the friends we didn't mail them to. (Hey, if they're paying for the reception, they can invite as many people as they want!) I've got a long list of stuff that's got to be taken care of in the next month... I hope I can pull it all together. I hope people actually come to my wedding.

Ah crap, I forgot to feed the fish. BRB.

*rushes off to give fishy flakes to her little fishkids*

Ahh, now I have happy fish. It's so fun to watch them eat! They're all so darn cute. :D My friend Mary is going to come over to see the fishies this afternoon, so she can see how to feed them when Bry and I go on our honeymoon - she's going to be our fish-sitter. She's currently fish-sitting for a couple down the street - they have a ton of fish in a dirty tank with hardly anything to play with in there. Poor bored fishies. I spoil my little fishlets, just like Mary spoils her dog Chowder. And oh lord, Chowder is getting big! He's only four months old, and he's already up to my knee! He's gonna be a big charmer when he grows up. :) Ahh, I can't wait until I can get a dog of my own....

Well, time to do a tiny bit more internet surfing before I go to work.

the highlights OF my weekend (lord, I shouldn't type when I'm half awake and very sick)

Saturday
-went to the farmers market with bry. watched him sell a lot of wine. packed the car and went to lake luzerne. read a lot. slept well.

Sunday
-woke up with a sore throat. went to lake george. found out that the fireworks cruises were sold out. found out that our favorite restaurant has a $50 limit to sit on the deck for dinner. ended up spending two hours guarding a table in the heat, waiting for fireworks, with an increasing headache. beautiful fireworks. not so beautiful migrane. bry drove me home while i hung my head out the window, in case i had to throw up. passed out when i got home. think i had heat exhaustion.

Monday
-ran around, did a little cleaning, felt a bit sicker. went to the mall in glens falls. had a campfire, drank wine and ate marshmallows.

Tuesday
-woke up really sick. laid in bed and wheezed for a bit. went downstairs and wheezed. laid on the couch for pretty much the entire day. bry drove us home, and i couldn't get comfy because i ached so much. i think i have the flu.

today
-last night my friend michelle told me to call into work. so did my other co-worker, katie. brittany, another of my co-workers, sanitized her desk again upon learning i was sick. i am in bed right now, wishing walmart was not sold out of air conditioners, and wishing it didn't hurt to hack crap up.

EDIT: We've now got an air conditioner! We had to drive out all the way to Massena to get it, but we got one, and since it was a floor model they took $25 off the price! I am now basking in the cool breeze of the AC. It's really helping me feel better - I don't think the heat's been helping my cold/flu/whatever at all. Now, time to download some old Law and Order episodes if I can, and work on feeling better. (If I don't feel better tomorrow, I may go make an appointment at student health, and see if they can figure out what this is and how to make it go away.)

Wow. I can hardly believe it's 90something degrees out. I will probably wilt and die the instant I leave the bedroom, haha.
