I'm sorry I didn't post about eating when I got some.... It to me tastes more like Whiskey then bacon but you should have tried it.... Last time I read about them they are also in the tops on Elmwood.... The day it came out at the co-op might have been the same day as The Mardi Gras Parade it was close so I didn't go till the next day and found the stuff in the Pizza Freezer also tried the loganberry and it was great... I found out about them through them being at Music Is Art... If you can buy the pricey stuff I say go for it and try it....Good stuff..... Wait maybe I did post ..... See this is why I need a cell phone with internet and all that fun stuff.... That way I could post from there and check in from there.... Of course someone one (A hot chick or maybe a couple hot chicks or some (e:peeps) even) might have to teach me how to....

Tired of being sick
Category: body
I have had the worst head cold congestion, cough since monday. I was hoping to keep it from progressing into a cough but I am all coughtastic this morning. I blame the shift in weather coupled by crazy allergies making my throat raw and susceptible to infection. This often happens when I scratch my throat a lot because of allergies.

I have been working from home to prevent everyone else from getting it. This is actually quite unusual. Most of my coworkers go in sick all the time, which is how I generally get sick.

I could just not work but I go crazy when I have nothing to do and even more so over the stress of the work building up makes me anxious and its not like doing nothing makes it get better. I am glad I have a job that can be done from just about anywhere. I can't imagine if I had to operate some specialized machine that was only in one place.

Generally, I can get more done away from the office even in worse physical health. If I ever get a new job I may pursue the kind that allows me to work remotely.

Well hope you get better.... The warm weather a couple days back had a very high Pollen count so that can't help.... Also Sometimes around this time sickness seems to lagger.... What I mean is take me as an example when I was sick I felt all better but was still a bit tired then went into work and felt bad again.... I'm still not 100% guessing the crazy weather has something to do with it........
tinypliny - 03/28/12 13:28
Though I don't have a cold right now, I have been sneezing quite a lot... Maybe it's all the pollen.
tinypliny - 03/28/12 13:27
You look so tired. Maybe not working till 2:00 AM in the morning even while sick could help on the path to not getting even sicker. There is a good reason not to go to work when you are this sick. For 99% of the people, the reason is resting. :)
