Hell’s Half Acre

OMG I”m ALIVE AGAIN!  I must have either picked up something at the 4th of July bash or some weird viruses attacked me because I have been 1/2 dead since Jesse’s birthday.  I had the headache of death, very Typhoid-like, incredible weakness (couldn’t even hold my head up), constant fever/chills/fever/chills/sweat buckets/chills (you get the picture) and nausea.  I am pretty sure the nausea was simply related to the headache from hell.

I lost 2 days of study and 2 days of exercise and i can swear that my thighs are already flabbier.  But I’m SO ENJOYING being alive again!

But now I’m off to bed because pretty soon we’re going to be going to bed at dawn.  Last night I had to force myself (and Ellen) to be at 1:30am as I just didn’t feel tired enough.  Sigh.  The boys regularly stay up until dawn playing Runescape and downloading TV shows (during the non-FAP hours of 2am to 5am).

In “educational news” today the boys and i researched the Gregorian, Julian, Julian-reform, Chinese (which, in actuality is NOT a Chinese calendar) and Coptic calendars.  We found out the reason the days of the week are named as they are (in both Germanic and Romance languages) and tomorrow we’re delving into ancient Isreal.

More later, I have to earn my cup of coffee tomorrow by actually sleeping tonight.  Oh, the animal shelter is rumoured to have a poodle and Ellen and I are going to check it out tomorrow.  She has been begging for another puppy wash and tomorrow she’ll finally get her wish.
