Month: June 2006

Woke up today feeling much better — the drugs are working. Hoorah.

Opened my first present — a gift from that has been sitting, taunting me, since its arrival a few days ago. Turns out that it’s a copy of the first season of The Wild Wild West on DVD!

Woot! Now I’m able to wash the awful taste of the Will Smith movie out of my brain.

Bunch of work to catch up on today….another reason why getting sick sucks.

Late Friday, I started coming down with some hellacious sinus pain. (Or, as would no doubt phrase it: “a PIERCING PAIN IN THE SINUSES.”)

No big. I’ve had allergies all my life, and sinus pressure comes with the territory.

HAH, says the Universe.

Spent Saturday immobile, reeling from the worst sinus pain I’ve ever had. Holy Jeebus on a Stick.

Cleared-ish, so I went to Chess Match Auditions on Sunday, and hung with folks Sunday Night….only to have it return full-bore after they all left (considerate of the pain to wait until bedtime, right?). So bad that I did not get a wink of sleep on Sunday night. At all.

Pain so bad this morning I was literally in tears. says “enough” and drags my carcass to the doctor.

“I’ve never had it this bad,” sez I.

“We’ve seen more sinus infections than in previous years,” sez he. “The mild winter made the allergy season worse.”

Verdict: Sinus infection. Anibiotics and Painkillers perscribed.

Again: Holy Jeebus on a Stick.

So, for my birthday tomorrow, looks like I get to try to kick this.

and I just returned from Kansas City International Airport, where we placed the teenager on the plane that will take her to the Grandparents in Maine….where she will be adored, pampered and spoiled rotten until her return on July 22nd.

We are kid-free until that time.

The summer has now officially begun.

So….anything interesting going on tonight? Tommorrow?

We’ve got Chess Match auditions Sunday, but apart from that…..we’re free and open!
