Well today is officially one week since I got sick. And I’m still sick. This…whatever it is started like a stomach flu, moved into fevers, body aches, and general malaise and on Friday turned into a standard cold. My poor nose, skin about the lip and lips themselves are scaly, red and sore from all…

I Can Haz Healthy Now?
Days like today I wish I had the ability to see a doctor. Stomach issues are finally getting better but woke up way early this morning with sore throat, fever, and my nose just stuffed and running. Oh and a budding migraine. So far today I’ve used a half of box of tissues alone. So…
Good News / Bad News
Let’s play the Good News/Bad News game. Good News – I made it into work today. Bad News – Didn’t get here until about 11:45am after being sick and indisposed for about three hours straight this morning. Good News – Found out my job position has been bumped up $2/hr! All of us…

Too Sick To Think Of A Title
Ugh, it’s been a miserable week. Both Love and I have been sick since Sunday. The weird thing is that I don’t know what “it” actually is. It’s not a normal cold but has some symptoms of a cold; isn’t a normal stomach bug but has symptoms of one, etc. Love and I have had…
Sick
Love’s been sick for a few days now. I didn’t feel well yesterday but last night around 2:30am I woke up from a dead sleep to violently get ill. And I do mean violently. Was up for over an hour last night, then slept fitfully until my alarm went off. Got up, tried to get…
Washed And Working – How We Saved Our Cell Phone
Update: Sadly, despite all our efforts, and despite the fact that the phone initially turned on and seemed ok, it slowly failed. First it would randomly power off and not turn back on without being plugged into a wall outlet (not a USB charge, but a wall one only); then it stopped making audible ring…
Squeeky Clean
*sigh* Love accidentally washed his $250 Samsung Caliber cell phone in with the laundry. He discovered it when he was putting the clothes into the dryer. We opened it up completely; unscrewed all the tiny screws and pried the damned back off – which was really hard!! – took the mircoSD card and battery out…
Really? 95F at Midnight?
My hatred of Florida summers knows no bounds. And yes, that does say that at 11:45pm, the actual temp is 84F (29C) with a feels-like of 95F (35C) This is why my damned power bill for an apartment is $200 effing dollars. By the way, this afternoon, the heat index got to 111F (44C). I…
Oh Florida, You’re So Hot!

TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE MID 90S COMBINED WITH HIGH HUMIDITY VALUES WILL CREATE DANGEROUS HEAT INDICES IN THE 105 TO…
Happy Birthday Rand
Today Rand would have been 43. We would have gotten together and probably gone out to eat. Gotten him a Wii game or a PC game or something – two of his preferred gifts for holidays – and probably watched a movie or something. Gotten a cake and forced him to listen to us sing…
White Bored
We have a white board in the isle between cubes here at work that's for our team. We get silly and put doodles on it sometimes. Well, it started with a castle, then got a princess, then it caught on fire, then a fire truck, a prince riding to the rescue, a dragon, CNN news…
Remembrance Tree
Of course you all know by now how many Tree of Life pendants I make. But this one’s personal and different and I wanted to share because of it’s meaning to me. To recap, in February, our best friend, Rand, suddenly, out of nowhere had to call 911. Turns out he had a complete tear…
Big blue sky
Beats yesterdays storms. Still too hot though! Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Feels Like 110F
So when you guys up North are all like, “OMG it’s hot!” remember you could live in here in Florida where you’d be dealing with this kind of heat every single day for months at a time. Take for example today’s current temps: And yes, it DOES say 110F (43C). I can haz November now?
