No really, lose and fail

Being at work when you're still sick is the balls, guys. :( But I've already taken two sick days in the past week, so I can't really justify it, even to myself. >_> H-hopefully things will be slow today, and I won't have to actually. Try to explain things to people, because I'm honestly not sure how coherent I'd sound if I actually try talking. ("It's the thing that ... you know? With stuff. Stuff in it. Wow. --Wait, we weren't talking about that at all? Oh.") I spent most of Sunday in bed, intermittently napping and staring at the computer, except for the dragging myself to the grocery store and having my return bus be twenty minutes late.

(So if rain + sun = the fox is getting married, what is it if there's snow + sun?)

ON THE PLUS SIDE:

I HAVE TACTICS V10. CURSE YOU FOR BEING A BIMONTHLY SERIES, NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR+ TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. :( :( :( :( But resolution that leads into more things that might be going wrong and guys, guys, I LOVE MY FANDOM, tiny and quiet and dead as it might be. ♥ I agree that the series could easily end in a volume or two, but if they DON'T explain some things (like whatever it was that Rin and Ibaragi saw in Kantarou that frightened them so much), I will. Throw things. Or something. :|

There's a new Flogging Molly CD! I love Flogging Molly, but I hadn't seen anything new from them since "Within A Mile Of Home" came out, so I stopped checking on whether or not stuff was coming out. But I was in Barnes & Noble on Saturday with the roommate, and on a whim poked through their music section. So far, "Float" is about what I expected -- which is a good thing! -- fun and upbeat and angry without screaming about it. It's helping me keep awake right now, in fact, which I am grateful for. :Db

My mom is awesome. I idly mentioned to her that I needed to buy some stuff, because I was asking her where she did most of her kitchen-shopping (our measuring cups melted! ;o; well, their labels did at any rate) and half an hour later she called back and was like "So I ordered them for you, FEEL BETTER SOON. :|" Which was actually really unexpected since I am now ostensibly a working independant adult and I was sort of under the impression that aside from birthdays, my parents wouldn't be buying me stuff. It's really nice, when you're sick, to have someone who'll take care of something for you, even if it's only tangentially related. ♥

New BPAL! Our order arrived last week, and I was able to sample them before sickness robbed me of the ability to smell. /o/ I really like my gambled-on scent, too, so even better. :Db

ALSO I FELT LIKE WRITING AGAIN. THAT IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL AND I WAS VERY PLEASED.

So, in spite of the physical cruds? Not a bad week. \o/

ETA HOWEVER: Guys. Seriously.

How hard is it to spell my name right when it is IN MY PROFESSIONAL SIGNITURE. When it is IN THE EMAIL FIELD and IN MY SIGNATURE and ALL MY TIMESTAMPS. How hard is it. :(
