DayQuil

Hey my keyboard did not come standard with one of those, is this some sort of new upgrade? If not perhaps they should consider it. That and the "any" key. There have actually been tech support calls on that, when it says to press any key, they have called to ask where the any key is.... lol!

Thank the lord for Dayquil! I am so sick it is not even funny! I can hardly hold my head up, but here I am at work... Trying to make it, then class, then bed...

I had a great weekend. Where to start... Saturday I was up at the harry ass crack of dawn for seaweed/algae class. We went to four different lakes and a creek to collect fresh water samples. It was really fun. Then back to the lab for identification and drawing. We got done fairly early, and I called A, who promptly headed to my house.

We got the gang together for dinner and pool. Beef O' Brady's was good, we watched some of the Gator game there, then finished it up at Silver Q... I was biting my nails. We went into double over time... The headlines in the paper the next day read Gator football needs a M*A*S*H unit, like 8 or 9 of our first string players either injured themselves, or reinjured themselves... One broken leg, on broken rib, several ankle and knee injuries. We won, thank goodness... There was NO reason to lose to Vanderbilt.... NO REASON... I could not believe that we even went into OT... That is crazy.

Pool was fun, Ruth was a trip, we played match maker for Larry, but I will let him tell you about that! (hint hint nudge nudge, oh yeah he is not good with hints, so how bout plain text... Larry needs to update!) I think it went well. I drank a little too much... but not so much that I got sick, so it was all gravy. Sunday rolled around, and I got to sleep in... till 12! We got up, and made breakfast/lunch... fried potatoes, bacon, pancakes, and grits... It was a team effort by me and Larry... It went over smashingly well... (there were four of us at the breakfast table... a full house...)

I read some psych, took the quiz and got 100... then headed over for some volley ball. I was starting to feel pretty crappy by then , but I was hoping that it was just because I drank... Larry's dad put together a fish fry for dinner and invited me, so A got to meet that side of my family... It was like a mini family reunion... I am hoping that he was not overwhelmed. This is the side of the family that just accepts you for who you are, open arms, glad that you could come. He does not eat fish, but Aunt Elsie made a pork roast. Now I love a fish fry, but by then I was hardly able to eat anything. Uncle Larry made me try roe, not sure if I spelled it right, but it is fish eggs, still inside the sack, breaded and fried. EWWWWWWWWWW.... they tried to make me try mullet gizzard, but I was not up for it. That is when Uncle Larry proceeded to tell me yesterday's useless fact... LOL!

Home we headed, and glad I was... I was getting sicker by the minute. A headed home, and I hit the sack, with the aid of some nyquil, nasal spray, and tylenol sinus.

There are going to be some changes here around the corner in my romantic life, but I think it is for the better. A is moving back to Orlando, to be closer to his son, and finish out school without having to kill himself while working too. He will be able to come up on the weekends, to see me, which he apparently cleared with Larry before even asking me... Everyone seems to like him, and that is good, because I do too! I think it will be hard, but worth it. And it has it's benefits too, I will get more homework done during the week if I am not trying to go to see him on Thursdays. He says he understands that I will have homework on the weekends, and he may have to entertain himself. Eventually, I will have to go to Orlando to meet his parents and his son. I am slightly nervous, not about the parents but his son.

I love children, so winning him over should not be a problem, but allowing myself to get attached may be. The last time I was involved with a man that had a child, well lets just say I did not just lose a fiance', but a son as well. I raised him for 2.5 years, he called me momma, and surrogate mothers don't have any rights when it comes to split ups....

Useless fact of the day: (since it is relevant to how I am feeling) A cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds up to 60 miles per hour

Do get well soon.

My dad loves cod roe. I think it's vile. Caviar is really just roe. I find caviar vile too. Fishy jam (fishy jelly, you'd say).
