and i’ve spent much of it sitting on the couch watching the local weather channel with the sound muted. i’m starting to run out of some flavors of tea.
the good thing: soon – well at least sometime in the next year, i’ll have an ALL NEW FORMAT for the website! new photos, new stuff, newness. christine is going to do a lot to make it happen; even though she’s going through dramatic and profound changes in her own life, she’s still taking time to help me. because she is a GREAT PERSON.
the bad thing: the new cough medicine that i got from the doctor yesterday is CRAP. at one in the morning i examined the ingredients closely, and it’s the same stuff that they put in nyquil. NOT STRONG ENOUGH. so i was pretty mad at my doctor at 3:30 a.m., and pretty much all through the night. i can’t remember the last time i slept so little. i tried everything i could think of, including gargling with warm salt water and heating up some honey and drinking that. except it was too hot and i burned my entire tongue and then spit it out and burned my hand. i took some cough syrup that had expired in 2005, and a couple of advil just because.
be glad you weren’t around here in the middle of the night. things were not pretty.
luckily i got new stuff today. kevin picked it up for me, and it’s ridiculously expensive, but i have complete confidence that i’ll sleep more than one hour in a row tonight. hmm, it’s so expensive, maybe i’ll sleep for a couple of days in a row.
soon the results of the new hampshire primaries will be pouring in, and then i’ll turn up the volume and watch that.
yes, starting the new year out with all kinds of excitement and drama.
ok then,
grace slightly unsettled.
