Had I not become sick earlier this week, right now I'd be in Bowling Green for a lock-in and DDR tournament. Instead, I'll be spending tonight like I've been spending most of the past few days: watching TV, bouncing around the Internet, and just doing what I can to distract myself from how lousy I feel from this bug. The worst of the bug has passed, but I'm still in no condition to be out and about or anything like that. Hopefully that will change by Monday, because it's fallen upon me to purchase my father's birthday present this year.
Speaking of birthdays, my own birthday booty included a boxed set of all three of Margaret Cho's stand-up DVDs (which would have been nice had I not already owned two of them), and a gift card from Best Buy. I know what I'll be purchasing with that card, but that will have to wait until I get better so I can fully appreciate what I'll be buying. Honestly, though, the birthday card I got from Christina and Milena while I was in Cincinnati is still making me feel all humble and stuff.
I just wish I hadn't gotten sick right after Penny decided to take a couple of weeks off of the Internet, because while I'm down like this, I can't think of a way I'd rather spend my time than exchanging IMs with her. I'd call her, but this bug's done a number on my throat and talking seems to make all my symptoms flare up even more. I just hope she's doing okay, because I know she's going through an awful lot of change in her life and I want to be there for her, but right now I've got my hands full just trying to get myself back up to health here.
