zonked! and almost better

well, holy cannoli, i haven't been as sick as i was this week in a loooooong time! i thought it was just a bad case of the sniffles until it headed south and turned into a cough. then i knew it was bad. i tried valiantly to go in to work yesterday and lasted all of an hour and a half. came home and took some cold medicine and slept for the rest of the afternoon. woke up, ate a bit, and went back to sleep alllllllll night. i'm still not 100% yet, so i'm trying to work from home today. i have a lot more energy (probably 'cause i slept for a zillion hours yesterday), but still lingering sickness. not nearly as bad as yesterday, but still not good enough. bleah! being sick is the worst. fortunately, i believe i'm finally on the upswing - i'll be running, dancing, yoga-ing, and playing with fire next week like a good burner!

from bleah to zzzzz to ugh

well, i'm slightly better, but not 100% yet. still very stuffy, sniffly, sneezy, runny, headachey, but less tired. i've done a MUCH better job at actually resting today. i didn't do such a great job yesterday, what with staying awake and relatively active (yet sequestered). i was up for most of last night with horrible stuffiness, a sinus headache, watery eyes, and a drippy nose. finally got to sleep again and slept till 1pm. i've been trying to rest, now - took a long, hot bath, drank lots of tea, and only checked my email once. i'm back to the couch for now, where i'll probably spend the rest of the day. obviously, no belly dancing tonight, waah. we'll see about yoga tomorrow. let's please, please, please hope this bug passes quickly.

bleah

i've been home (well, at dave's) all day with a nasty head cold that started yesterday. only got one day in at kirkwood on saturday before the goo hit my sinuses and made me rest all day sunday. it's always amazing to me the amount of snot my head can produce when infected. hopefully i'll reach the end of the supply soon!

cute overload saves my life

every day. i know everybody's seen it already, but seriously, it's the best blog ever and deserves huge praise and another blog linking to it for love. so here you go. for those of you who haven't actually checked it out, you must do so immediately! but beware - it is highly addictive!

a woman from the inside out

a friend just sent me this video, which shows a woman being drawn from the inside out. it's so cool! kind of like how i get dressed in the morning, starting with my skin...

mighty pics

got some pictures from our mighty gig. it was really fun. more pics here if you wanna see!

think the pain away

baja was great - a real adventure. lots of time on the road, lots of desert and beach and tacos and dust and sand. eleven days of sleeping in the suburban and on rickety mexican hotel beds did something funky to my shoulder, though. i could barely spin at fire practice last night, waaah. so i've been extra-dosing on the arnica and glucosamine, stretching lots, and taking super-hot showers to blast the stiffness away. let's hope it works! started the day today with a.m. yoga, which i think released a lot of creaks, too. now i just need to visualize... no pain... healing... no pain...
