There's a semi local comic con in a couple weeks, and I kinda wanna go but the guy I'd wanna see and get an autograph from doesn't have any autograph tickets for sale :(

Also, I was perfectly fine not knowing about this until a friend of mine told me about the con, and now I'm all annoyed :negative:

I forgot the train was on holiday schedule so today I waited on the platform in thin dress pants in 20 degree weather for almost an hour.

Last night I took a cab home from work and the driver did not speak any English. I had to write down my address.

I have a cold, and none of the many medications I've tried have done a thing to clear out my sinuses, which feel like they are about to explode from the pressure. The only thing that cleared them even for a short period was a shot of rum, but I kind of can't be smashed 24/7. I just want to be able to breath through my nose again.

The old sudafed nasal spray is the only thing that works for me when my nose gets like that. The downside is that I can't use it for more than a day without my nose making GBS threads blood everywhere.

But drat, does it do the loving trick.

The pants I ordered are taking 8 days to get to my house. The worst part is that they shipped from a place just 3 hours south. I've ordered things across the country that got here in half the time. I guess this is what the holiday shipping buzz is about. :(

Also I think my moms husband got me sick.

You may wonder what I am doing while reading your posts..

I stocked up on drinks for my drinks fridge yesterday and this morning was greeted by pools of coke forming around the base. Apparently 3 of the cans at the back had frozen and exploded. This led me to the discovery that my fridge does actually have temp control and it's been set to max for years even though I've know it gets too cold for about as long.

I went to the gym this evening for a run and only noticed afterwards that I somehow managed to have my shorts on inside out.

I had half my dinner before going to the gym and left it in my slow cooker to have the rest when I got back. It was still really tasty when I did but some of the rice went a bit crispy.

I spent all night hacking up Slimer levels of phlegm. My boss sent me home from work with pay and said I can do so again tomorrow.
It would be nice except I want to save my leave because I exhausted a lot last year for a surgery.

Now I have to ride the train home and this other guy is being funny but just a little too loud.

Must be something going around the forums.


I started to get sick last Sunday, sick all of last week, even had to call out of work Wednesday (probably should have Tuesday, but only so many sick days to go around.) Thankfully I had Thursday and Friday off for the New Year, but I couldn't party or enjoy it because I was plugged up so much, just coughing and attempting to blow my nose, and not being able to sleep.

I still have a bit of congestion and cough, over a week later. In addition, when I blew my nose one time yesterday, it popped my ear because I was so plugged up, and it hasn't "popped" back. So everything feels wrong with that ear. Sounds are muffled, a slight ringing/buzzing, and some slight pressure and soreness.

i don't think I actually ruptured the eardrum, but if it stays like this through tomorrow, I'll have to see a doctor or something because it's not right.

I really want onion rings but not enough to walk to A&W in cold weather.

I live in a separate unit in back that shares the same address as the front house. The neighbors have an annoying habit of accepting packages for me and not putting them in the garage for 6-24 hours. I was really hoping that wouldn't be the case today, but, sure enough, no package, and nobody is home now. It's my fault, I haven't talked to them about it, but now I have to wait until tomorrow to work on my motorcycle.

I slid off the road into the ditch and had to miss work waiting for a tow truck to get my car out. But I was about a block from home so I was able to make all the calls from inside my warm house, the insurance covered all of my winching costs, there was no damage to my car and I didn't get a ticket because I didn't break any laws, so essentially I just got the day off.

There's a centre here where you can take high school courses you missed out on for free but I just found out while signing up that the government, without warning, changed it so the courses cost 500-600 bucks once you're over 19. Then my dad called my mom and I "communists" for not being entirely happy with that.
