What another sick post? Well, last one hopefully. Today was the first time in 12 days that I have seen a normal temperature. Woo hoo!! Three doctor visits and some free samples of Levaquin and Advair later, I am finally on the mend. Here are some things I did to pass the time in the last couple weeks (besides sleeping and coughing).
- I discovered Jeff Buckley. I had not heard of him before and suddenly 10 years after his death I'm mourning him anew. He and Kurt Cobain were born within 2 months of me but I never related to Kurt's music. Jeff is more of a kindred spirit. This video of Hallelujah (written by Leonard Cohen) brought tears to my eyes and I listened to the song on repeat on my iPod for hours in my fevered state. Check out Grace as well.
- I uploaded pictures from the kids camera (notice last post). I had to delete about 95% of the pictures of fingers, knees, the ceiling, the cracks in the wall, me in my underwear, etc.
- I organized in Flickr like crazy. I created six new sets and tagged over 200 photos. I have about 1500 more to go before I'm all caught up. Check out our Best of 2007 set.
- I put actual photos from last year into a photo album. Now that I'm caught up, I ordered a bunch of prints for this year.
- I paid bills online and had to fight a stupid charge from FreeCreditReport.com. Don't ever visit this site as they will automatically start charging you after 30 days and I'm usually a good reader of fine print.
- I wrapped Christmas presents. There were a few hours when both kids were out of the house and I was strong enough to venture out of the bed (heavily sanitized). Alas, now Adam is sick (something different), so we are back to a full house.
- I mastered Cubis 2. Adam was so jealous when he heard that I finished all twenty levels in the web game. A few times.
- I played Bejeweled 2. And Jewel Quest, and Gem Shop and Chuzzle.
- I played Hearts online. My old name moonfever was gone on zone.com and I couldn't even get moonfever0 and had to settle for moonfever3 as moonfever4 (my favorite number) was taken too! I lost the game, but I did manage to shoot the moon.
- I ordered a side order of yeast infection to go along with my antibiotics. I hate how antibiotics mess with that delicate ecosystem down there...
- I yelled at the kids. Apparently, Doug says that I take it right up to yelling and don't even build up to it. Most of the time it was something like "Don't touch me!" as if I had the Ebola virus.
- I changed the sheets on the bed twice.
- I can't think of anything else, I'm sick after all!

Sounds like you were busy even though you were sick.
Happy tt!
It looks like you made good use of your sick time.
My T13 post is up, come check it out if you get a chance. :)
If you can do all that while sick in bed, think what you can accomplish when you're healthy, up and about!
I love Hearts online! Great way to waste time!
And happy belated 500 posts!
Wow! That's impressive for a sick person! :-) Hope you get better soon!

Wow, you get much more done when you're sick than I EVER get done when I'm fully awake. You not only have the christmas presents bought, but also WRAPPED? You are a miracle mom!
You have my deepest sympathy for the antibiotic side effects. Sometimes I'm very glad I'm not so young anymore....The Flatland Almanack --Damozel
Wow, you got a lot done, especially for being sick! I'm glad you're feeling better. :)
Wow, you sure did a lot for a sick person!!! Glad you are getting better, though.
