Still sick. My everything hurts and I'm pretty sure I coughed up some important organs.

I called the school to tell them I wasn't going in. Which was new for me. I'm not used to having a school care if I came in or not since high school...
Still stuck at work though. They said we couldnt take time off, so here I am, infecting everyone around me. Great logic here, huh?

Warm shower, wool socks, hot drink. It works.
I'm sucking down tea now, as the dampening and fly-nap have made me feel like I'm trying to come down with something. (Makes flies sleepy so you can get them to lie still long enough to look at them. VERY stinky, and clings to your clothes, skin, and hair for hours.)
We got what will hopefully be enough specimens for the fungi lab. I have a few more flies to work with for the other lab, maybe more by tomorrow morning before my class. I also have my first physics lab tomorrow. (Yayz teh fizzix.)

Actually, no. Frank and I called it quits last month. I meant to tell you! There was so much else going on that I guess I haven't.
It was very non-dramatic, non-traumatic, and he and I are on very good terms. At this point he's much more relaxed in a friendship than he had been in the romantic relationship. It's all for the best.

Heh, I'm not much of a 'hunter' really, but I am enjoying life in general. It's really been lookin up for me quite a bit this year. Hopefully by next week I'll have some good news about school and government monies. I keep becoming more ambitious in what I want to study now, but one step at a time. Especially as I'm running out of money, starting a new track and getting some checks from the government and various foundations so I can live would be a mighty fine thing.

I should really be registering for some classes. I was pretty psyched up yesterday after a round of research, but I'm less psyched today. I know I just need to sign up for some basic foundation classes, but I keep wanting to get ahead of myself. Silly of me.

Today, I am disturbed, because my dating site profile has been found by someone who vaguely knew me from my days as a convenience store wage slave, who I didn't have a lot in common with. He seems to think I'll just jump at the chance to go out with him, even though it's clearer now than it ever was that we have nothing in common. Single doesn't mean I'll go for just anything. Someone please explain men to me.
Today, I am frustrated, because I know there's all kinds of money out there for a poor student wanting to go into science. Maybe being able to figure out the process is part of how they make sure you're smart enough to be worth their money.
And today, I am thrilled, because my clothes are really starting to fit me differently, and I continue to have more energy than ever.

Ok I'll liven things up by laying out a buffet:)
Also I belive this bar needs a signature drink...and here it is
The Firefly Women ( straight forward vodka for Zoe, smooth rich decadent chocolate for Inara, spicy unexpected kick of pepper for River, and fluffy, sweet, and fragrent whipped cream for Kaylee)
Firefly Women's Martini
1 shot Firefly Vodka
1 shot chocolate liquor
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 shot heavy cream lightly whipped to a foam (not stiff peaks)
1 tsp orange zest
shaved chocolate to garnish
In a shaker place ice, vodka, chocolate liquor and pepper. Shake well and strain into martini glass. gently fold the zest into the lightly whipped cream then pour it on top and garnish with shaved chocolate.

That sounds delicious, MsA, I'll take one!
Though upon reflection, I think rum might suit Zoe better. I'm not sure why.

I bet you are MsA.
Yes, as far as I am aware I'll get better but it is going to take time, there are times where I feel bright and back to my self, was listening to a podcast on imaginary numbers this morning and it was making sense but then by lunch time, after a fairly successful morning of work, brain had melted and dribbled out of right ear.

Sore arm. Flu shot.
Is there a drink for a sore arm?
AHA!!:
Painkiller! I knew there had to be one somewhere.
Pineapple Juice, Coconut Cream, and Orange Juice is always 4:1:1 ratio.
Plus 2 oz Rum.
Or a higher ratio for those who like it stronger.
Mmmmm.... I have had these, they are tasty. My friend hit it with a little grated nutmeg on the top.

Am stuck on hold with IRS..they suck
Wish rum were a choice ATM...sadly am at school and no help there
Plus sadly my Wednesday will be endless. My school is doing an open house from 7-9pm and since we live so far away it's pointless for me to drive an hour to school, teach all day, drive an hour home turn around 2 hours later drive an hour back and have the open house and then an hour drive home....so I will be at my school from 7:40 am til 9:30 pm and then have an hour drive home.
Plus I won't see Johnny at all since he may not be up before I leave and he'll have long since gone to bed by the time I get home so he'll go a really long time without seeing me...in fact if he's sleeping as he should I won't see him Thursday am either so by the time I see him he will have seen me Tuesday night and not see me again until Thursday afternoon.

Hellloooo, I appear to have missed a bunch of stuff since last here. Always good to see the return of the Kel and hear of good dates and new jobs and things.
Not much interesting going on over here. I did fix my PS3 though, I guess that's news. Made me happy.

I once didn't see Boychild for an entire week straight due to that shit. The sitter was seeing more of him than I was. I cried a lot while I was conscious and not at work. Up by 4:30 and out the door by 5 (child sleeping)to drive in an hour and catch a shuttle to make it to work on time, then work a 12 hour shift, wait 45 minutes for the shuttle to the car, drive an hour (or longer if snowing), (child already sound asleep)then study for big exam until about midnight. Lather, rinse, repeat. Day off was spent at review for big exam.
Needless to say it had to end.
(See? Doesn't "just" one day seem not quite as bad as it did five minutes ago even though it still sucks?!)
My arm still hurts, the vending machine took my money, then took another nickel, then finally gave me my damned *two* bags of peanuts, then my pants split when I bent down to get my f**king lunch.
Now I'm pouting because what I really want to do is ditch the lab I have to stick around for and go drop off my Rx, hit the SallyAm to pick up a few warm shirts for winter, grab some greasy salty takeout food,pick up my Rx and salad, go home and take a nap with a heating pad on my arm, play a game with Boychild (who has the day off) and then get dinner ready for tonight when my sister and nephews are coming over.
What is going to happen: I will sit here and bitch, then study for the midterm tomorrow a little as I eat my f**king peanuts, go to the damned lab and look at bacterial colonies which should glow under UV light, go home, forget to pick up salad, cuss a lot, get dinner ready, stick my face back in the books as soon as everyone has left, and then wake up in time to go take a midterm. Sounds waaaay more fun, doesn't it?

Good grief,
why is it that everytime Kel streaks the bar it's me who wanders in unsuspectingly and gets the view of his arse exiting the room?
How we all doing?
Long week, Bengals are rubbish but watching Farve throw to Moss was fun.
Too much work, not enough sitting around, can I go home yet?
*checks watch*
*sees it's lunch time*
Damn it, better get back to it I suppose

Well you were kinda waving it about and all....( ok several inappropriate pruning jokes have occured to me)
Ok I need a stasis martini... this week has been INSANE So far I've had to take a 4 hour skills test(monday), had to do the loan application stuff for our new house(tuesday), had to stay at school from 7:45 am-9:15pm plus a 2 hour commute( wednesday) and today I have the joy of spending several hours with the IRS... plus someone stole my card number and my card is blocked so I have to wait a week for a replacement.
Did I kick baby Buddha or something??
