i'm sorry.. can you repeat that?

if you're asking me... i probably can't. ugh. i hate getting sick.

right now it's exactly what i am. as nice as he is.. i'm blaming chas.

one of the stipulations for going to nerdcon, is that you not be sick. the hosts, josh and jill, have two preemie babies who are really susceptible to illnesses due to their underdeveloped lungs. one of the guys who came to nerdcon.. started feeling bad on the way up. by the end of nerdcon, he was coughing and sneezing all over the place while proclaiming the fact that he felt bad. not only did he maybe get the babies sick... but steve and i are now sick as dogs... i got it worse.. i always do. not only is my head all stuffy and my throat sore... but my voice is almost completely gone. when i talk i sound like a cracked voice pre-pubescent boy. i'm actually a little pissed about it. like i said... nice guy, but kind of a douche for staying at nerdcon once he knew he was sick.

since we've gotten back, i've done almost nothing but sleep. i went to bed last night around 9:30 and didn't get up till almost 3 this afternoon. which another HUGE reason i hate getting sick. when it hits me, i go down hard. most of my physical energy is drained and i lose track of time. i mustered up the energy (and rain for backup) to go grocery shopping. i got a roaster chicken and LOTS of veggies (i was crazy disapointed not to be able to find alphabet noodles.. i settled for stars) and pasta for homemade chicken soup. i love the smell that fills my house when i make it. first roasted chicken... then the smell of the broth forming. so yummy.

saturday was amazing. after taking and packing enough dayquill i ventured out to western MA for the girl scout cookie kickoff at the hadley mall. i spent 3 hours painting faces with B.B., puc, p'nut and elizabeth.. it was really nice. i also stocked my freezer with 5 boxes of girl scout cookies. i'm hoping they will last till at least till the end of spring. they're like a rare and delicious treat.. so irrisitable! i was hoping to feel up to the task of venturing up to camp to work on repairs and whatnot... maybe next week.

blah. hopefully i will feel good enough to make it to the gym 4 or 5 times this week.
