i'm a tiger, baby

Doing some "window" shopping on ModCloth and remembering I never buy anything from there because A) I'm cheap and B) everything I love everyone else loves, too, so it's always sold out.

Le sigh.

BIG NEWS: My booboo got a job. He's working as a web builder for a company that builds websites for small car sales companies. Didn't you always wonder why they all looked the same ;)

It's a 9-12 month contract position and then, hopefully, he'll get offered a position to stay on. Or he'll be established enough to not need a 9-5 and just keep doing the graphic and web design thing, so we can blow this popsicle stand and continue on our journey.

I got some news last week about schemes that I'm excited about, but I don't know if they'll actually work out.  So I just sit here daydreaming, in the meantime. #imsomysterious

I'm feeling a little under the weather. I think it's just a cold, so I'm slamming the Zicam every three hours. That seems to be helping, but my body is FREAKINGOUT about having a virus (as a sidenote: this isn't terribly uncommon for me -- I've had reactions/allergies to viruses before that included hives, fainting, etc.) I haven't had any kind of virus in, like, seven months, so I think that's why this one is hitting me so hard. I feel vaguely okay, but my stomach is all wonky, and I can tell my sinuses are tender, even though there isn't really anything in them yet. Whatevs. I'm lying low until I feel all better.

Relatedly, Zicam is the bomb.

we can work it out

Yesterday was not a good day. My stomach hasn't been feeling great since Wednesday, but honestly, I was proud of myself for even staying at work all day yesterday. The whole day I was in kind of a haze, and my body never indicated that it was hungry -- I just realized at some point that me wanting to fall asleep in on my desk was probably an indicator that I should eat. I got home and had some pasta for dinner before passing out at about 7:30/8:00pm in my clothes, woke up about 10:30 long enough to get ready for bed, and passed out again. I woke up at about 5:40am feeling much, much better.

So I don't have any pictures of outfits or delicious dinners, because I've done nothing but sit and stare into space and/or sleep for the past 48 hours. Ugh.

In any case, I'm really glad it's the weekend soon because that means a) I get to sleep in tomorrow and b) we get a dresser soon! We contacted someone of Craigslist who actually hadn't sold theirs yet, so we get to pick it up either tonight or tomorrow. We are probably a little TOO excited about getting a dresser, but we've been without one for so long, it's become a far-off luxury. Oh, to have a dresser again...the joys.
