So yeah, I'm sick again. This time Heather got the bug first, though, as opposed to the past few times when I've seemed to be the first person in the family to get a bug (and then give it to all the folks). It still sucks, though, and while I'm sure I can take tomorrow off from school while I get over the worst of this, Tuesday I'll have to go in because I'll have too much important stuff to just miss.
One real big downer in all of this is that I really wanted to go see Hide and Seek this weekend; after watching Dakota Fanning do interviews for The Cat in the Hat a couple of years ago, I've become a big fan of hers; normally child celebrities irk me to no end, but she's really got her head on straight and she seems like she'll get to adulthood -- and beyond -- without falling into the child-star traps that have claimed so many others. Hopefully I'll be up to seeing it this next weekend.
Anyway, since the last time I was sick I saw a commercial for Zicam Nasal Gel and I thought I might try it out, but then I did some searching online and found that some people who have taken it claim to have permanently lost their sense of smell as a result, and I was like, "Um, no thank you." So instead of swabbing the inside of my nose with zinc, I'm taking zinc supplements and lozenges in the hopes of reducing the severity and length of whatever this is. Hopefully it won't take me too long to get over this, because I think the next arcade lock-in in Bowling Green is this coming weekend. (It was supposed to be yesterday but it got moved back because they hadn't done much to advertise it.)
So, um, yeah. My new Skechers are set to arrive by Tuesday, so I should have warm feet the next time I go out. Oh, and the Camry's headed back to the shop because the rear shocks are totally gone according to my father. (That explains last week's stomach aches, at least partly.) And I swear I will get to that political survey I promised I'd do on the .org here soon. For now, time to take more zinc ...
