Cough/etc continues to kick my butt. Saw the allergist this morning who had given me lots more medicine that will hopefully make me all better. Turns out that my airways in my lungs are a little constricted, so now I have a second inhaler, different cough meds, another type of antibiotic.. funtimes.

I really hope this stuff makes me better, because I really hate having no energy for anything I need to do on my days off. All my hih and rp stuff is suffering and it makes me very D:

Yep. Still coughing, congested, etc. Being told countless times a day that I should like shit. My PCP is out of ideas, but luckily my allergist had an opening for Monday morning. Here's hoping he has something new to try that actually works. I miss being able to do things like eat and sleep.

And, you know, roleplaying and pillaging for points at hih.

Stupid sinuses.

I went to bed around 10pm and didn't get up until after 10, at least. Despite the fact that my cough still woke me up every few hours, I am feeling much better this morning, so I think it helped. It probably also helped that I managed to get some soup down before I went to sleep. I've been having trouble eating lately, because the food irritates my throat, which makes me cough even more, which makes me have to stop eating because I can't stop coughing. Annoying.

Still coughing today, but I'm not feeling as weak/dizzy as I have been the past several days, so I think I'll take that as a sign that I'm slowly getting better. Hopefully a day of working doesn't put me right back to feeling crappy. At least I should only have about 5 hours of working with customers today. Yesterday, my voice was fine when I got there and I was hoarse again within an hour.

In other news, I have been immensely enjoying being a part of hogwartsishome again. It's weird looking at the old student lists and remembering everyone who was a part of it before, but everyone is pretty much awesome and I've been having a lot of fun. Especially now that hope_guides_me has come back, too. Crystal makes everything more fun. :D I think that's in the BFF rulebook somewhere.

Also, Team Jacob has been good to me at Burger King. He's won me some free French Toast Sticks and a free croissanwich. hope_guides_me says that her nephew made her choose Team Edward and she didn't win a thing. Proof that Edward sucks? ;)

I can wait to go mock see Eclipse with the BFF in a few weeks. I wonder how many death glares we'll get in the theater for our running commentary this time?

I am really, really tired of coughing.

Just in case anyone wondered.

OMG HAPPY IPHONE DAY, EVERYONE!

I'm so excited that it's 6am and I can't sleep, so I might go drive to the Apple Store and buy mine now.

:D

I'm going to be sticking this on Craigslist soonish, but first dibs to the flist... anyone wanna buy an iPhone 3G? I plan to get a new phone on launch, so I'm looking to sell my old one.

I may or may not have just registered the AIM screenname "hey assbutt."

Just maybe.

Feel free to IM me on it.

Also, my power is out. I am not pleased with this. :| So much for my morning shower. :(

Crossposting from Dreamwidth, so apologies to those of you who see this more than once.

I've spent the last hour or so playing around with Delicious Library on my Macbook and it is AWESOME. I've cataloged the majority of my books, dvds, etc and it scans them right in through your built in iSight, so it was minimal work. I can't believe it took me so long to download this and put it to use, because it is awesome.

In other news, I've acquired some new friends to both my IJ and LJ flists - both from the Hogwarts Is Home friending meme and acquisitions from various RPs, so.. WELCOME! You are also welcome to add me on Twitter, which is ledbylove, but you should definitely tell me who you are if it's not obvious by you screenname, because I don't automatically follow people back unless I know who they are.

It feels like not nearly enough time has passed since I left work last night. How can it possibly almost be time to go back already? Need. Starbucks. Stat.

This one has been going around IJ, but I thought I'd crosspost everywhere. :)

( cut for length - survey thing inside )

iPhone OS 4.0 looks hot. I can't wait to see it in action, even though multitasking won't work on my wee little 3G. Time to start saving for that upgrade. I wish I knew if they were going to come out with new hardware as well by summer, because I am eligible in about two weeks.

What is NOT awesome is being awoken at 5am by an insanely sore throat. Chloraseptic is my friend, except for the part where the first spray nearly made me gag. Luckily, I have the best allergist ever and when he couldn't fit me in for a few weeks, the nurse collected a list of my persisting symptoms, talked to him, and then called in some medicines. I feel like a walking pharmacy, but hopefully this round of meds will make this sinus infection go away, because I am not a fan.

Also? I kind of miss my paid LJ account. Why isn't it payday time yet? This pay period is dragging by.

So. Freaking. Exhausted. iPad launch was insane. Exhausted doesn't even cover what I am. Must pass out now.

PS The iPad is freaking awesome. Go touch one now. I want to have its babies.

Sinus infection meds are screwing with my sleep schedule. :|

I took them around 9pm. I crashed hard around 10:30, I think. Two hours later, I woke up. I'm not sure which one, but one of them seems to be disrupting the Ambien working, because even the nights I have taken Ambien, I haven't been able to sleep straight through the night. I think I'm going to try some in a bit, though. Maybe it'll be make a difference to have a few hours in between.

On the bright side, I am feeling better. I'm still on the tired side, but my head no longer feels like it wants to explode and the throat/ear pain seems to be gone, so I'm taking that as a good sign.

So, the sinus headaches I've been self-medicating and trying to ignore turned into a awesometastic sinus infection. Apparently it's pretty bad, but I now have medicines and will hopefully be much better soon.

( sinus infectiony tmi )

I thought there was something wrong with my ear, so I left work early to go an urgent care clinic. I was a little surprised by the sinus infection diagnosis, but I really shouldn't have been. Pollen counts have been high, I've had recurring headaches and I've been freaking exhausted lately.

I must be a glutton for punishment, because I came to work today. Hopefully, I'll be on the mend soon. Right now I'm feeling okay except that the Sudafed/Zyrtec combo is killing my concentration.

If only I could go home and sleep for a week.

Doctor thinks I have stomach virus that's been going around. Now have Phenergan and orders to follow a liquid diet for a day or two, followed by a bland diet for a day or two until I feel better. Meds are sleepy making, but I did feel better before they wore off.

Threadless is having a $10 t-shirt sale. Why must they do this right before payday? They have a ton of awesome shirts I want, too. Still if you love Threadless (and who doesn't?), you should go check it out and buy yourself some awesomeness!

Went and got my hair cut yesterday during my lunch hour. It was totally the best part of the day and I am still in love with the cut almost 24 hours later.

( picture! )

Now, if only I didn't have errands to run on my day off. :( I'd much rather stay home and be lazy.

It's really too bad my sister Amanda doesn't have an iPhone, because I'm pretty sure she would have to have this case. Totally cute, right?

In related news, my beautiful iPhone has a new case. The bad thing about working in an Apple Store is that it's far too tempting to buy... everything. I like it a lot, though. My old one was getting pretty beat up and I'm happy with the new one.

( what do you think? )

Sinuses/allergies have been insane lately. Hopefully they will decide to behave soon. I'm not enjoying this fun lack of energy. :/

After the BFF told me how much she was enjoying them, I decided to check out the House of Night series, which is actually fairly enjoyable. The description from the bookcovers made me think "oh, God, another Twilight," but even though the writing isn't great, it doesn't try to pretend it is, either. I've just finished the first book and it's written very much from the perspective of the main character. It reads like the diary/ramblings of a 16 year-old girl.

That said, I enjoyed it and I'm anxious to read the rest of the series. It's no Chaucer or Shakespeare or what have you, but I'm finding the series enjoying to read so far.

It's probably sad that we're also considering a game or group PSL centered on the premise of the books (but taking place in another city so that it's all OCs). It would be the perfect opportunity to PB Katerina Graham, which I have wanted to do ever since I saw the first episode of The Vampire Diaries.

I feel like I just slept for 100 years, also. Went to bed early and slept late. My sinuses have been hating on me lately, but I think I'm feeling a little better today. At least my head isn't pounding yet. Maybe this means I'll get back into the swing of things soon. I've been neglecting RP lately and I hate that.

Dear people in games/communities with me,

Work is currently sucking 98% of my energy, because it's retail and tech support and right after holiday and omgkillmenow. Sorry for being such a suck RPer lately, but I'm not going to be good for much until things die down a little bit.

PS I actually had a pen thrown at me today after telling a guy it might take a whopping 3-5 days to do a major repair on his laptop including the 1-2 days it will take to get the part in. For serious.

I really freaking hate people sometimes.
