I can now say Happy Valentine's Day. It was a decent one for me. I got stuff done during the morning, played with Precocious and Gumby during the afternoon, and went out with my sister in the evening. :) BigBrain was away for the weekend or something, so he and JollyGreen went for dinner the previous Friday. They always meet their friends out on Monday nights, and I sometimes go, so JollyGreen said I should come with her this week since she wasn't expecting anyone else to show up this week besides Deere. So it was great: JollyGreen and Deere have been friends since nursery school, and I've been friends with him through that relationship for almost as long. Deere is one of the few guys that I get along with well. I think it's because he doesn't put on any sort of front; if he says something, you know he thinks it's the truth because he has no reason to lie. He doesn't do anything to draw attention to himself, yet he doesn't hide in the corner. He's real. He doesn't try to be anything that he isn't. There are very few people in the world like this. He just likes to hang out and have a good time.
Anyway, I enjoy talking with Deere, but whenever I see him it's in a social setting with the rest of JollyGreen's friends, where I never fully feel comfortable. This whole group has been friends since high school and before, so they were all the little freshmen when I graduated, and I guess I just never got over that, even though it's been nine years. So last night was cool because I could hang out with JollyGreen and Deere and not feel uncomfortable, because no-one else was there. It was great. :)

This is pathetic. I'm basically just waiting for tomorrow to come. I've got a nice list of things I want to do before I leave in two weeks, but I don't want to *start* any of them at this time of night. So, I should go have a snack. But I get bored while snacking, so I watch a little TV. But I can't stand commercials, so I have to watch something on the DVR. But I can't use the TV with the DVR because my parents are using it. So I have to wait until my parents go to bed (which could be any time in the next hour) before I can have a snack. So I need something to do in the mean-time, but since it could really only be five minutes of waiting, it's not worth starting a project. So, instead, I? uh? don't know what to do with myself. I've tinkered with most everything I can think of on the computer. I've read some of Helena's journal. But I'm way behind on her journal, so don't really see too much of a point to reading more since I won't catch up before I leave. I mean, it's always fun to read, even if I'm not 'accomplishing' something, but I think I'm in too much of an accomplishing mood right now. Maybe that's the problem. Tomorrow morning I will have a ton of time to get all sorts of things done, and I'm excited about that. I love getting things done. I'm just really picky about having the right conditions to do them in.

O.K., I've officially now moved my web-log from Xanga to AngelFire. AngelFire was just more conducive to my style of making a web-site. Xanga was getting too cumbersome, and AngelFire has simplified things immensely. So, the Xanga site will still be there until they cancel me due to inactivity or something, but anything new will be on AngelFire.

Feeling *much* better this morning...

Feeling *much* better this morning, compared to the previous two days. It still kills me if I swallow without lubrication, but my head feels a lot better, and the lubricated swallows actually feel soothing rather than just less painful. I slept about nine hours last night, though I woke up every hour and a half or so to have another drink. I think I used three Sucrets during the night: I found that they numbed my throat (they're an?sthetic, so they basically just numb the mouth and tongue, and only barely numb the throat) just enough that it didn't kill me to swallow, and I could therefore fall asleep. I felt bad for my teeth, though, because I couldn't brush after each one, and actually fell asleep with one still in my mouth at least once. In the morning I had a clump of sugary drool in my beard. Ewww.....

Anyway, I think the NyQuil had kicked in around midnight because I felt rather sleepy and decided to dive into bed and take advantage of that sleepiness. I woke up at 9 to my Dad plowing the driveway (we'd gotten another two inches last night) and tried sleeping more, but by ten I'd swallowed enough painful times to know I wasn't going to sleep anymore, but only torture myself, so I got up. I went downstairs, made myself another cup of tea and watched Robert Downey, Jr., on Dave Letterman. I think I'll go make some more chicken soup in a little bit. It's about the only thing that actually makes my throat feel good.
