that look i'm giving you clearly says...

style 21/365

..please dear god, make the coughing stop.

I took the photo on monday. On sunday, I spent a grand total of 4 hours awake. Not 4 hours consecutively. Four hours total.

I had picked up a sinus/upper respiratory infection late last week and by sunday I was shaking with fever. I used to get these type of infections fairly regularly and I didn't usually get a fever with them but for whatever reason, this one kicked my ass.

When I woke up on monday without a fever, I was so ecstatic that I felt compelled to dress up, even though I still was feeling pretty cruddy.

I don't really know why I'm telling you this except I like coming here. Talking to you guys. Reading your comments and visiting your blogs and seeing what's going on your lives.

So I thought I'd share.

And how are you today?

Hope you are feeling better.
I have been up and down the past couple of weeks and finally today got to the doctor for some medicine. Hopefully that will be the end of it!

Oh, brandi, that sounds terrible! Would you believe it, I got sick this weekend, too -- but nothing close to that bad. I feel for you. It sucks to be sick. :(

Still, you look rockin' in your outfit. I especially dig the combo of the boots and the don't-mess-with-me face. ;)

Yikes! I hope you kicked some viral ass. Being sick is such a waste of time - it usually makes me mad as a hornet. I guess you've picked up a bit after dragging yourself to the computer. Feel better!

keep well, brandi. sleep is the very best medicine for whatever ails you.

its lovely balmy weather here. we've had some dry days ~ yeaaay! that lifts my spirits. i got paid today ~ yeaay! that also lifts my spirits. i have not slept yet. my cat is constantly in heat. she smells like a meat processing plant. i am just realizing that i have not eaten since having lentil soup for breakfast about 20 hours ago. {that's what that strange hollow feeling is -- hunger}. i sometimes get so focussed on what i'm doing, i forget to eat. for long periods of time. this morning, i will have the decadent cheeseburger, etc. option. i will scarf it down passionately and without regret. there will be gravy involved. it will rock. i guess that's about it.
