Apparently eating at Red Robin, while delicious, did not agree with my rather particular g.i. tract. This meant waking up around 4am covered in sweat and suffering from major intestinal pain. You can surmise the rest, if you really want. At any rate, it meant I stayed home yesterday. On the bright side, jessicamelusine gave me a very nice Cute Overload shirt!

I worked from home, actually, because in spite of any abdominal discomfort and sleep dep (which really meant driving to work would be dumber than a box of hammers), there was this website that we've put up for the client. It needed some work. And a publication to format for web publication. And a grantee list. And so on.

J has been helping me make hotel phone calls, since I am still deafish. This is great. Hoping for a site for USD soon. Regardless, I know the game will be fabulous.

I'm having an allergic reaction to something. Hives all over my upper legs and some on my arms. It started before I took a bath. I bathed and it didn't get any better. In fact I think it's spread. Clearly this is not a contact allergy... it must be something I ate. I am hoping it's not my new vitamins, but I skipped them today and took a Benadryl. I have an Epi-Pen if I need it. Hoping not.

G has been awesome and supportive through my illness. It's got to be frustrating for him of all people not to be able to talk to me. And of course after being ill and barely functional for over a month, I'm depressive girl.

Calling to ask for a referral to an Ear Nose & Throat specialist later today. This deafness has gone on too long. Yes, it's somewhat better, and I even heard the radio clearly for a few moments today, but COME ON.

This is for stori_lundi: Puffin Hoax Revealed. Really, the entire site is golden, but that just totally made me think of her.

Booked the hotel for Chick Weekend at the Big Gay Beach! So excited. [bouncing around, waving arms]

I'm sure I had something else to say. It might even have been entertaining. Now, alas, I must get to working for the salary I supposedly get paid. So you will have to settle for yesterday's Twittering.

Taurus for Friday, 9 January: The truth. It has never been very fashionable. People just don't want to hear it. Unfortunately, they think they do. They say they do. They revere it, they look for the truth, they even sing about it. It's just that when they actually encounter it, they don't like it. Fantasies are far more attractive and reassuring. Half-truths are popular too. When watered down and sweetened, lots more people find honesty acceptable. The big question for you, this weekend, is how close to a reality are you prepared to get? There's a Solar eclipse on due on 26th January. Be ready for this life changing astrological alignment.
