Sick, dammit all to hell

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Hrmph. This figures. I have a nasty head & chest cold. It started the day after Christmas (Boxing day), and hasn’t let up yet. I’ve spent the last 3 days in the house coughing and blowing my nose. This SUCKS. I take time off from work… valuable, precious time off work… and I get sick. [...]

This afternoon Kelly and [...]

This isn’t the first thing to happen in our ‘hood’ since we’ve lived here, but this particular even is far less worrying to me. [...]
