  • Still sick!

    09 Nov 2008 » 1 min read

    Still sick when I woke up this morning.  Last night was the third night in a row that I slept in the guest room in an effort to prevent spreading this cold to Kelly.  Don’t know if it is working.  This evening Kelly was saying that she might be coming down with something.  I’m not sure…

  • Sick!

    08 Nov 2008 » 1 min read

    Been sick all day.  I felt like I’ve laid around in bed all day–or at least most of the day.  Passed the time that I wasn’t in a NyQuil induced sleep reading more of Einstein.

  • I am surrounded by clocks!

    Throughout the day yesterday, I was slowly consumed by a vaguely familiar feeling–one that says: you are getting sick!  Sure enough, by the end of the work day, I was feeling it:  running nose, stuffy head, headache, etc.  I am supposed to get a flu shot on Tuesday.  I am hoping that it’s not too late.…

  • Pre-Halloween vampires

    30 Oct 2008 » 1 min read

    The pre-Halloween vampires were out in force today, collecting blood.  I was one of their victims.  I donated blood for the third time, but it still managed to be a "first".  Given my height, weight, and blood type, I am considered a good candidate for apheresis, which I agreed to.  I takes longer, but they can get 2 units…

  • Peace!

    We love having visitors, but we’ve had visitors every weekend since moving. Couple that with the move itself, the tasks to do afterward, and wedding plans, and I think both Kelly and I are exhausted at this point. Fortunately, next weekend is Labor Day weekend. It’s a three-day weekend for me and a four-day weekend…

  • Home for lunch

    I went home at lunchtime today, mostly to check on Kelly and see how she was feeling. I left here at noon, was home around 12:08, and we sat on the couch in the family room, napping, until around 12:50 when I headed back to the office. Yet another benefit of my shortened commute!

    Kelly met me after work and we went home together. She’s still sick (she stayed home today) and when get got back to the house, she went right to bed and slept for a few hours. I got my bike back together and then took it out for a test-drive. I rode up Army-Navy drive…

  • Busy Sunday

    Up before 8 AM, had breakfast and got ready for the day. We dressed up nice because we had our engagement photo re-shoot this morning up in Columbia, Maryland. We left here around 8:30 and arrived at the lake shortly before our photographer. It was really pretty there at that time of the morning. The…

  • Feeling groovy!

    There’s nothing like feeling better after feeling sick. I went to bed sometime around 10 PM last night and slept pretty well. I didn’t get up until almost 8 AM. Kelly was already up. I had breakfast and then we both headed to the clubhouse to go to the gym. When we got there, we…

  • Blurry Friday

    09 Aug 2008 » 1 min read

    Still sick. Today it was mostly the usual cold symptoms: runny nose, stuff head, coughing, etc. But no matter what cold medications I tried, nothing seemed to work. I muddled through the work day, which include a marathon meeting this afternoon. The day is mostly a blur. After work, I met Kelly at the Gap,…

  • Is it feed a cold and starve a fever…?

    Had another restless night last night and finally, around 11 PM, I got up, went downstairs and ate two large bowls of cereal. I had another when I got up this morning. And I was still hungry at 10:30 AM, and so I ate my peanut butter and jelly sandwich right then and there, instead…

    Busy, even productive day at work today, even though I wasn’t feeling well. Made progress on several fronts and that felt good. After work I came home and worked on the wedding info website, which is going out on the info sheet with the invitations (probably next week). he11o_sunshine (who did our invitations) is helping…
