Hello. How are you today?

[rubytuesday]

my gf was an afrin addict back in high school. weird. i tried to use it once when i had a cold and it burned so bad, i hated it.

The saline nasal spray is the bomb. It worked so well. I'm already mostly cleared up and the rebound congestion is just about gone - and only after one day of using it. Granted I used it quite a bit yesterday, but being there is no limit I was determined to get my nose in better shape.

I don't think I'll ever use afrin again - it's evil stuff. What really pisses me off is when I did my research afrin is the number one doctor recommended brand. But then when I looked into getting off afrin every single place I looked was like 'go see a doctor', 'get this special non-afrin like medication' blah blah blah. So the doc recommends afrin and you get hooked. To get unhooked you have to go to the doc again. It's a vicious medical circle!!

I'm glad I finally found the saline nasal spray info. I can't imagine having to shell out that money just to get my nose back to normal from an OTC med.

And on that note, I'm actually much better today - to answer the how are you doing today question.

i just headbutted a wall. Now my head hurts

[rubytuesday]

Why did you butthead a wall?

[Fruity]

I didn't do it on purpose. I found something really funny, and was laughing and it must have affected my depth perception, because i bent over to put something in the bin, while laughing, and ran my head straight into the wall

Tired but good. Went to Atlanta from Charlotte and picked up my friend's car and drove it back here. Now I have wheels to use the next 2 weeks whilst at school, so I don't have to rent!

Score!

I am day 4 days into Wallow Week after breaking up with my boyfriend for good. It's shite, I hate wallow week. I think it's necessary though...I don't really hate it, otherwise I wouldn't do it.

I'm pretty sure I'm watching Independence Day on TV or something.

So happy that so many replied!!!! Well done, all of you!!!!

I'm a bit drunk. Had a good day of shopping today: bought a CD player, shoes and a matching purse, a dress and a belt. Then my friend came over and we got wasted.

I'm on a hiatus on high school. Got a bit of a burn out. Luckily I can now take this small break from it.

bummer, jet

i'm bored as hell. i start back at the consulting/audit job on monday, so that's good- especially since my credit card was declined at the poolhall the other night...
i am currently drinking a beer and marvelling at the first oil pastel drawing i've done in many years. it's a tree. an orange tree with blue leaves growing in yellow grass. wooo.

ps ruby, that's what doctors do. but you know this.

I had (am having) a pretty good day.

I was uber productive. I got the nice cozy blanket made that I've putting off for a good month or so. We insulated the house by covering the windows with plastic - freaking cold for Florida right now. Lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s all week. Brrrrrr. I made a kick ass soup for dinner.

And I got flowers for V-day from my boyfriend.

i am sick as a dog and pissed off about it. come monday, i'll be working 15-8+hr days without a break. and a couple 12hr days.
figures my weekend would be spent in bed feeling like crap. typical.

but on the bright side my bf brought me sweets and whatnot. and his mom is bringing me soup. mmm.

[rubytuesday]

Sorry to hear that you're sickie Sprank.

Just say no to nasal spray.

Recovering after 3 nights of drinking excessively. Thursday was my birthday bash, Friday was a poker night, and last night was another birthday bash. None of these nights ended before 5:30 am, and I start a new job tomorrow. Good times.

I should see the gorgeous girl today, it being Valentine's Day and all, but fuck it.

Slightly worried about my thumb, to be honest. It does not straighten out all the way.

Doesn`t really matter though. It is early yet, and even if it is screwed up, well, what is just is. I`ll just have to figure out some way to get by with it.

Could whine more about it, but this is not really who I want to be today. Guess I`m okay.

I work in a call center, and today was my first day back on the phones (I was laid off in the beginning of november)
well my headset kept acting up and randomly switching to speaker phone. it never did it while I was on a call, I'd just be sitting there and I'd hear a hiss in the headset, open the line, and the dial tone would go on speaker. really weird.
so I called tech support and requested a new desk unit. who knows when that'll come in.
so then I get a notice that we have "Mandatory Time Off" or MTO, starting at 1. so I need a ride at one.
i'd forgotten my cell at home, so i switch from helpdesk to personal line, and call my bo to see if he can scoot outta work early to pick me up.
well they were really backed up- it was around noon and he manages a pizza take out joint. and he didn't think he was gonna be able to get out. so we're both sitting there for a second, contemplating solutions...
and at the absolute perfect moment, my phone switched to speaker as he says "WELL, FUCK"
and so the entire row of call center chumps in front of me turns around, all giving me the OMGWTF face, and my neighbors to each side of my cube start cracking up. literally, my first day back with a bunch of new co workers and my phone spazzes a giant fbomb.
it was reeeeally embarassing at the moment, but quite amusing in hindsight. as long as i don't get fired.


in other news, i bought a pair of size 4 cords from banana republic and size 14 trousers from old navy. the 4s fit perfectly, and the 14s do not, but they're this super kickass green color and i figured i could pin them enough to make them fit.
but i think it's really absurd that i'm probably around a size 8 on a good day, but i can rock the 4s and hem the 14s to work... designers really need to get on the same page when sizing their pants. it's ridiculous.
