There was a slight tickle in my throat on Friday and I hoped that after an evening out with our good friend Ana, I'd wake up fine. I really only get sick once a year or less, so I don't worry too much until it actually happens. Ana was spending the night, and we were up pretty late, so I woke up hung over as well as sick. Ended up spending a good portion of the day yesterday in bed.

Getting sick on weekdays is a big deal for a lot of people. Even if they've got the sick time available, their situations at work force them into going in sick. I've been working at home exclusively for a year now, so I'd much rather be sick on a couple of weekdays and enjoy my time off. It's a bummer being sick right now, as we were supposed to head over for barbecue at Garrett's parents this afternoon. Plus, Value Village has a 50% off sale going on for card club members.

At least I've got a couple of DVDs. I'm currently watching Cthulhu, the movie responsible for bringing Tori Spelling to Seattle that time she did karaoke at Bus Stop. I was right around the corner that night, at home doing nothing, and was so sad when found out I'd missed this a few days later.

Hope you feel better soon!

I really hated in the States how the workload/sick leave situation made people come in sick because then they made everyone else sick. My sister's company conflates sick days and vacation days, which I think is reprehensible. Oh yeah - get well soon :)

Hey congrats on your awesome, historic vote!

It's great, innit? However I can't take any credit. I'm not a citizen so I can't vote in referendums. However my husband did vote and he voted for The Gay. We both believe everyone should be equal under the law and also that who you date/sleep with/marry is your own concern as long as they aren't underage, closely related to you or aren't a person (it's not legal to marry the Eiffel Tower no matter what that crazy woman claims!).

What other people do in their bedrooms shouldn't be subject to laws (unless someone's underage or doesn't consent) and I find most attempts to legislate for morality to be ultimately pointless busybody-ing. I've always thought it was unfair that married people get special tax privileges and legal status for hospital visits and such.
