So, it is 4:36 am on my birthday and I have been awake for an hour and a half already. Why is that? Well, gentle reader, since you asked, I will tell you.

Yesterday morning I awoke with a nice cold and a severely sore throat. I felt a little better after I dragged my sorry ass to work, but was then confronted with the task of fixing people's lives for the next 8 hours. My coworkers did bring me a birthday card and two kinds of pie (key lime and strawberry cream) so that made the anguish of a depressing job when I felt like crap just a little better.

on to today....

the sore throat is back, and as I sit here typing, the pile of dirty, snot-filled tissues is mounting beside my monitor. of course, when the daytime temperature goes from a high in the 10s to a high in the 70s in the span of two weeks, I don't believe I expected any less than what I've got. that being said, my body decided that I should start my monthly female degradation regime this morning as well.

I tell y'all such tidings for one reason alone - to let you know that I shall persevere! fear not! i will rectify the situation this evening by eating Mexican food (which is pretty much all i eat anyway) and drinking copious amounts of adult beverages!

this day shall be mine!!!!

(perhaps I also have a fever and am suffering a case of delirium, for i get the feeling that maybe i have shared too much. alas, i am too weak to press delete)

Birthdays are always crappy. I feel sorry for you.

Please do not complain about the weather in Oklahoma. How do you think Canada's doing, eh?

That sucks. Doesn't sound like a great start for your B-Day. But perhaps it could be worse?

I hope you start feeling better.

Maybe later this weekend you'll feel better and you can actually enjoy it.

Keep your spirits up and Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I am sick right now too (just a sore throat/snot type of sick, not female sick). I also live in the Korean area of the DC--kimchi on every block! That's all I eat on sick days like this. Try some, you'll be back to yourself in no time.

Alright..it is the morning after, and I am still sick and now have a full trash can of tissues. But DAMN! That was the best birthday ever! And apparently (according to my friends) everything I say and every story I tell is better when I am wearing a sombrero.
