My day so far...

agilebritWell, I began coming down with a horrible head cold yesterday. Today, full-blown, stuffy sinuses, sneezing, headache, eyes bugging me, whole nine yards. Ugh, I feel horrible. Yeah, it's just a cold, and maybe I shouldn't be whining about it, but it's been ages since I've been sick, so, yeah, milking it. Sue me.
It snowed today. I hate snow. Especially snow before November, although living in the Beautiful Salt Lake Valley ®, I suppose I should expect it. We've had rain for just about the last week straight now. Guess the drought is about broken, which is good. Just...snow. Before November. Good for the ski resorts. Bad for driving around.
Which I had to do today. Twice. Went to the bank to make a deposit because I found a copy of "Escape from the Icecap" on ABE for $16 (with shipping) that I wanted to grab. I'd done a little online shopping this weekend because my dearth of Pratchett is making me suffer horrible withdrawal symptoms, but when I made the deposit (at the drive-through, because I didn't want to go outside my car in the snow), I looked at my balance and thought "Erm, that's not right." Of course, I didn't do that until I got home, so back out into the snow (did I mention big fat huge flakes? And not just the flake that's me) and to the branch I thought wasn't closing until November. Well, I was wrong, and it's closed NOW. So, I hied me over to another branch and went inside and got a printout.
Turned out to be Da Boy's fault. He's the one that forced me to go to Wally World last Tuesday and buy "Garfield." I'm sure he's the cause of me forgetting to write down in my checkbook that I'd put the purchase on my debit card. Must be. LOL Anyway, the deposit is made, and my account is not upside down, as it would have been had I not decided that I really needed "Escape from the Icecap" in my book collection right the heck now. *wipes brow*
I've basically been camped out the couch today (after all that crap this morning). Reading "It's Got to Be Perfect" by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
speakr2customrs, and enjoying it immensely. Will watch football tonight (Go Broncos!) and hopefully be able to put Da Boy to bed without too much wrangling. He's been sent to his room about four times today because I'm not putting up with loud screechy whining while I'm sick.
Fic? I've stared at my latest MustardVerse effort a few times. Opened a FicBlank and looked at that. Thought about drabbling; need to have a look at the extant challenges. Got a little plot bunny for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
open_on_sunday Playing challenge with the Fanged Four, only it's just Darla and Angelus playing tic-tac-toe in blood on the back of a victim (day-um, I scare myself sometimes; where does something like that come from? Ugh). Yeah. Going to look at challenges again. Maybe I'll have something by the end of the night.

Date: 2004-10-26 07:46 pm (UTC)"Da Boy" isn't really his name, right...? Heh. But I don't blame him for wanting Garfield. Garfield is my hero. He's awesome!
Broncos? No! Patriots all the way! *hugs the team* Unbeaten! Yay! And Tom Brady is hot. ^_^ Even if football is sort of obsolete right now in the face of the Red Sox going to the World! Series! *spazzes* And the thing is, I hate sports. Think of how the actual fans are acting.
Anyway...feel better. :( I still remember how miserable my last cold was. Blah.

Date: 2004-10-26 09:12 pm (UTC)Actually, my very favorite team is the Steelers; I was just rooting for the Broncos in last night's game because the Hubby's from Colorado and his Mom still lives there. Of course, they lost. Argh.
Red Sox? Is that, like...baseball? I love sports, but baseball bores me to death. Football and NASCAR are my favorites, followed by Jazz basketball. And Dog Agility, but I can't get that on TV. No cable.
