of course. it's the 22nd of december, i've been looking forward to christmas and time off for weeks, and i'm getting sick. ugh.
thus far it's a headache, a scratchy throat, and somewhat achy muscles. i'm hoping that's as far as it goes. it sucks, but at least there's no mucus involved. if i manage a cold without having to blow my nose nine trillion times, i'm (relatively) happy. i am prone to sinus colds, and they suck.
basically my plan tonight and tomorrow is drugs, vitamins, fluids, and hope.
i work tomorrow, and technically i'm scheduled 9-5, but i arranged my schedule so i only have clients in the morning, and i'm going to try to bail after lunch. i figure i should be able to leave around 1, and certainly no later than 3. joshua is scheduled till 4:45, but he might be able to get out a little early too, tho likely only about half an hour. still, every bit counts when you're as amped up to get home for christmas as i am. zuber's riding with us too. he asked today if my offer of a ride still stood, and i told him that as long as he's here by 4, it's all gravy. hopefully he can get here a little early and help me load the car. i figure that if i have to do it all myself, it'll likely take me 4 trips up and down in the elevator. i mean, i'll do it if i have to, but it would be nice to have help.
my bag and all of the gifts are packed, so the essentials are done. theorectically, i could throw what's ready in the car and be good to go. josh has even offered to drive, tho i'll likely insist on doing it, because i'm more comfortable with busy highway driving, not to mention a bit of a control freak. there are times (like rush hour when i'm anxious to get home) that i make a better driver than a passenger. tho, if i feel really shitty, i might be able to sleep in the backseat (yeah right).
above and beyond the essentials, here are things for tomorrow:
- revamp ipod, add/delete/rearrange playlists
- do dishes, so as not to come home to a trashy house
- tidy bedroom, same reasoning
- pack miscellaneous electronic gear (chargers, camera, laptop)
- pack bathing suit? no idea which of my suits are at mom's vs. here
- extra wii wheel for mariokart
- check fridge for anything that will turn icky before we get back
- definitely take out the garbage and possibly take down the recycling
i think that's all. all my mind can handle right now, anyway. i'm gonna peace the fuck out. sleeeeep. |
