Achy-Shaky Ickiness

I think I'm getting sick. I started taking Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom rapid-release capsules last night, but I felt nauseated all night. But then again, maybe there's something in that Tylenol that they use in DayQuil, because I know for a fact that DayQuil make me puke. Anyway, sore throat and mostly unsettled tummy and achy/shakiness. It's snowing/raining ice this morning and I'm not sure I'll make it out this morning. I'm sure my car is buried under a thick sheet of ice and I'm feeling icky.

Sigh.

Is this premature cabin fever? Being stuck indoors makes me bummed.

Some things I'm looking forward to (despite this being finals week): baking cookies with my friends when I get home, seeing Inky, warm fires in the fireplace, zero obligations, comfort food, sledding, IHOP after my Spanish final, not having to pay for anything for a month, showering without flip-flops, familiar faces, reruns of the Office (I'm considering a four-season marathon over break...would this be a total waste of about 22 hr. of 45 min.? Let's hope I don't get that bored...), Christmas, New Year's, still being home when the high school starts classes back up, being done with classes and halfway done with college.

Things I wish I could do right now instead of studying: bake cookies. eat them. watch a movie. cut out snowflakes. color. three words: mint chocolate chip. (ice cream). sleep. reorganize. lay on a beach in the sun. write a novel.

Also, I want to go ice skating. The rink in city park opens this Thursday, but I definitely want to go after the break. I haven't been ice skating since 7th grade...maybe 8th.

Ah man, so there's a late-night breakfast tonight at 9:30 and I'm going with Sarah Beck. And I laugh now every time I think of her because Friday night she and Becky stopped by. When they saw my orange-ish carpet (which I hate...it's so dirty!)....
Sarah: Wow, you could start a fire with that carpet!
Becky: Or a disco...
Sarah: Disco inferno!
:-) That's amazing. How do they come up with stuff like that? Anyway, maybe you had to be there but I appreciate the play on words. I'm going to see if I can find something I can put on it and then vacuum it out. Because when I'm not wearing shoes, the bottoms of my socks get black. Yeah. Just a lot of dust mostly I think. Sometimes when I hit it I can see it rising. Good thing I don't have bad allergies.
