Frazzled today
February 26, 2002 by Adam in Adam
Frazzled today.
I've been relying on cough syrup to let me sleep, otherwise I'll wake myself up with coughing. No fun at all. The abdominal pain that Sam and I had for a few days is mostly gone. Even my sinuses are slowly drying out. This has been a particularly bad illness this time around.
At least the weather is turning, with beautiful blue sky outside my window. I'm looking forward to garden plans at our house. It's approach time for planting blue berry bushes, some honeysuckle, and perhaps budlia as well. Ah, the joys of growing new things.

It's been tough this last week being so sick
February 23, 2002 by Adam in Adam
It's been tough this last week being so sick. Jamie was home last night, so I snuck away for a hot bath. There was this "anti-stress" bubble bath that I decided to use. It was supposedly champagne scented, and came in this small, bottle-shaped container.
Well, I peel off the foil (just like a champagne bottle), open the top, and prepare to pour, when I realize that the thick soap is never going to make it out of the top. The hole is so tiny, that the laws of physics dictate that it would take a few hundred years before it would begin to pour. So, cursing the marketing people who came up with such a brilliant idea, I tried squeezing it out. Well, the plastic is so hard that I have to practically crush it, teeth bared and grunting.
I finally got the soap to pour into the bath, much more stressed than I was before. It didn't even make very good bubbles.

I sometimes have strange dreams when I'm sick
February 19, 2002 by Adam in Adam
I sometimes have strange dreams when I'm sick. Last night, I dreamt of some evil woman who was vaguely gelatinous and her henchmen. She was coming after my family, and I kept using increasingly bigger guns to fend her off. Finally, I came up with the idea of burning, which seemed to scare her off. Putting on my Doctor FreudÖ hat, I appear to personify the viruses replicating through my body as some sort of hideous mother of evil. Either that, or I was running a bit of a fever.

I'm back at work on this very cold Monday morning
February 04, 2002 by Adam in Adam
I'm back at work on this very cold Monday morning. I left Sam and Jamie sleeping in our bed, as Sam wandered in sometime in the night and I got bumped to the guest bedroom. My last act as a father for the next few days was giving Sam a glass of water. I suspect the house will be a little too quiet for the next few days while they're out.
I've got big plans for tonight. I'll probably swing by Radio Shack on the way home and pick up some network cable. Now that the Lego computer is in the living room, it should be easier to hook it into the basement network. I also want to sand and start painting the banister posts today. My guess is that it'll take longer than I think to do them all. Wish me luck!
