Is Anyone Out There?

Is there anyone else stuck at work, too?

Lucky me, this chest cold is still malingering, and the weather changing from cold to almost warm back to cold certainly isn't helping any. Then again, I wouldn't call the doctor about it until I'm close to coughing up a lung ... so I'm still doing the "watchful waiting" thing.

In the meantime, I'm here at the office, wishing that I were in bed, sleeping all day. Ah well - at least I'll have January 2nd off work.


Have a great day - whatever you're doing!

Still Working ... Feeling Good & Dorky

Yes, still at work - but the office is closing at 3:00! :)

I'm at the desk, in my tiara (for the heck of it, for once) and scarf (because it looks wicked cool - and it's kind of nippy in the office), and I feel like putting on my OutKast CD and dancing around instead of working.

But ... I'll be good and get through the crap on my desk while the phones are quiet (Thank G*d and Everyone Else), curse my skin being absolutely horrendous (really - for some reason, my serious acne has moved from the chin to my nose. Just call me friggin' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or something!), and contemplate going out after work & getting my eyebrows arched, because they look nightmarish.

Then, when I get home, I think I'll continue the cleaning-up (woohooo), and take some cough syrup with expectorant - just to shut myself up. Maybe later in the night, I'll watch Cowboy Bebop, if I'm awake ... or I'll just watch it tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'll stop babbling and finish up my work so I can get out of here on time! :^D

Blah.

I'm home now - and definitely calling the doctor on Monday, if the cough syrup doesn't do anything for me.

After work, I did some running around - even got my eyebrows arched, so they look much better. Managed to avoid the siren song of Lane Bryant and their shitty clothes - despite the sale prices. Went to Zany Brainy (a subsidiary of FAO Schwartz) and geeked out a bit over some of their Hello Kitty goodness - especially since they have Badzt Maru stuff - on sale at 40% off the ticketed prices. Then, I went to Target to use my gift card from the family. I got The White Stripes Elephant, which is really really good; as well as some of the holiday cosmetics sets that were on sale (Neutrogena cosmetics gift set - $20 value for $5, and Revlon's "Cherries In The Snow" lip palette of 5 colors for about $4).

I had all the best intentions to come home and work on getting some cleaning done. Then, halfway home, I realized that I was feeling really crappy and run-down, thinking that perhaps a dose of cough syrup, a bubble bath with candles and the White Stripes CD would be in order. Walking home from the bus stop, I thought "screw the bath. I'd probably fall asleep in there." So, here I am. I took a teaspoon of cough syrup with an expectorant & codeine about an hour ago. I'm still feeling a bit draggy, so I think I may just get some trash taken out - and go to bed early. The rest can be done tomorrow. As for my room, the laundry can be done over the week - I need to just throw out the needless junk that's accumulated.

That's about all. I'll probably write more tomorrow, when I'm feeling more alive. Good night, everyone!
