That'd be my house.... I can't imagine if someone looked at it under a microscope right now... I'm sure the air and surfaces would appear to shimmer with the germs crawling everywhere.
I've been sick for 9 days so far. I thought that the flu was bad enough and that it was getting better, however I still have a nasty cough and a lot of snot - which I believe has turned into a sinus infection. The left half of my face, down to my jaw is in serious pain. I went to the doctor and he decided it could be treated with out drugs, so I'm supposed to squirt water into my nose and sinuses twice a day. I don't think it's working, the pain is just getting worse.
Then there's Cameron, who I thought was suffering from the same thing I had. I thought he was getting better, until all of a sudden he got worse. A trip to the doctor and I'm told he has a severe ear infection, and he's been put on antibiotics. Luckily they've worked quickly and he's in a good mood today and is currently climbing into my lap.
Then there's Quintin who's been sniffing and coughing for a while....woke up at 3am with an ear ache. Only time will tell if that develops into an infection.
James isn't far behind. He's all snotty and hopefully it doesn't go beyond that.
All this and it's only Tuesday. Uhg. This is going to be a very long week.
About Me
In anticipation of some moderate gambling in Vegas, James and I decided to take some rare kidless time, and actually see what a casino looks like. After our very yummy and soul fulfilling dinner of Sushi at Mikados, we drove to the Casino in North Edmonton, after a lengthy discussion about just how many casinos there are in the city, and why Canada doesn't have/need a 'Vegas'.
Anyway, so we walked into the Casino, and I admit that I felt very out of place and noobish. We walked around and got the lay of the land, checked our coats and blew $5 each on nickle slots. Then, not wanting to go home yet, we decided to each take $50 and play some blackjack. We chose a table with a couple of guys sitting at one end. Table minimum was $5, and as such I managed to lose $10 in about 5 minutes. After that it got better, though. For a little while, James and I were up a total of $80, however at the end of 2 hours I had managed to lose all my money except for $10, and James had lost all his profits and broken even.
We decided to quit at that point, and James wanted to try his hand at some Craps, where he promptly lost his money. While he did that, I took $5 and played nickle slots again, and managed to double my money. By then James was done, he had $7 remaining, and decided to play one more hand a blackjack to win back his spending money for the week - he walked out with $16.
It was a nice way to spend the evening, particularily because it was something different from the usual routine.

If I had a nickle for every time I've started or restarted a blog.... I'd have like... a whole 25 cents! And does anyone want to explain to me just why there isn't a cent character on the keyboard?
So, I'm here because.... I rediscovered the blog. Way back in 2005 when I first started with blogger, apparently my reasoning for it was because Xanga wasn't user friendly enough. A while ago I rediscovered my Xanga blog and made a few posts, then forgot it. Heh. I've been blogging on Facebook, but honestly, I don't think anyone knows it's there, and frankly it's ugly and boring. It served a purpose but got burried in the rest of the facebook mess. With the new facebook format, I'm not sure I could even find it again, anyway.
So, I'm here...wait, I already said that... umm... I should be making up my grocery list and preparing to go shopping but I'm procrastinating because I'm actually feeling good. For the last 5 days I've felt like I was going to die, I've been so sick. I'm sure I must have had the flu.... fever, chills, headache, sore throat, head and chest congestion, no energy. It was horrible...the sickest I've been in a very very long time. But today...well, I'm not going so far as to say I'm better, cuz I'm still congested, and my body temperature still can't make up it's mind as to what normal is, so I'm either hot or cold. But! I feel fine despite all that. That probably doesn't make much sense, but it's true. I'm in a good mood cuz despite being sick I feel good, in comparrison to how crappy I used to feel.
This weekend I get to go on a date with my sweetie, while my kids go on a sleep over with their Aunty. It'll be a nice little break, I'll get to eat sushi. Yum! And...I don't know what else I'll be doing, I've only planned the sushi. Maybe we'll go to the Casino. Hahaha! Hmm....now that I'm thinking about it, it' s not a horrible idea...gotta bone up our skills for our Vegas trip.
Yup, we're going to Vegas for May long! Yay! It's all because I'm a genius, you see. NIN is playing in Vegas and I convinced my husband that a few days in Vegas would be fun. I get to go to the concert and to the worlds biggest toy box. Okay, I made that up. I have no idea if it's the biggest or not. But that's still 7 weeks away. Boo!
Anyway, I've gotta start doing what needs doing before I lose my energy. Toodles!
