Has been wonderful!!! I have never allowed myself to lock myself up inside for longer than a day but I did it this time because I was sick with an awful cold.
It all started Friday morning. I woke up, felt sniffly and tired but headed to work anyways. I guess I was so tired that I forgot to walk fast/ run to the bus stop like I normally do every morning so I missed by bus. I said “Fuck- shit!” then called my co-worker who I knew would pick me up. Last time I missed the bus she picked me up in less than ten minutes, so I asked her to just pick me up at the bus stop instead of my house- I ended up standing on that corner for forty minutes!!! It was awful, not only was it freezing cold, my sniffly-ness turned into a sneezy, eye- watering, sniffly chaos. And then we were almost late for our classes, and my Friday class has six kids, ughh. Anywho, I made it to work but had to work throughout the entire day being awfully sick/ a mess. By the time I got home I put on long-johns, sweats, a fleece and another hoodie on top of that, a hat and slippers and then made some delicious hot tomato soup. After that I couldn’t stop eating, and eventually I took a nap. Then I watched I Heart Huckabees on our projector (awwesome) with my blanket and teddy bear. Then Kat came home with deviliciously delicious brownies (ha…) that I am pretty sure I still haven’t stopped eating. The next morning I woke up around 11am, ate a huge breakfast, read a little and then took another nap. When I woke up, I met Joanne in the living room whom I guess was also taking a nap, haha. Then I took a shower and finally prepared myself for the outside world to meet up with some friends for thai food. I was really hoping that the spices in the thai food would clear up my airways, which it did but it was kinda painful.
It was so wonderful napping all the time. I am definitely not one of those people that looses weight when they get sick. I’m pretty sure I am the opposite, because I double up on food and sleep. But hey, I am feeling much better today! I even went for a run! Actually I don’t think the run was that great, it was soo cold.
I also made an amazing playlist- these things always get me excited. It’s so much easier to listen to music when it’s on a playlist.

He played with the Moondoggies at Neumos last Friday Jan. 16th and also in Portland on the 17th. We have high hopes for him!
I think it’s really interesting how my interests in music change from time to time. I feel like all the music I have listened to holds a ton of memories of where I was at in my life at the time. I wonder if that’s a reason why I listen to certain music more often than others. On that note I’ve also recently deleted a lot of shitty music on my Itunes. I guess that was music that didn’t bring back good memories? Haha.
