randomly chaotic and frequently mundane

Whatever it is that Gage has… he’s given it to me.  I spent half of yesterday unable to hold anything down.  It ain’t fun.  Gage is still throwing up, but not as much as he was.  That’s a good thing.  So I feel like complete and utter crap.  It’s all very unpleasant.  I’m feeling a little better than yesterday, which is good.  Yesterday, I was so thirsty, but everythign I drank came back up.  But I couldn’t not drink something.  I tried water, plain tea, tea with honey, wild berry zinger tea with nothing in it, kool ade…. the only thing I didn’t try drinking to satisfy my thirst was milk — I’m pretty sure that milk would have come right back up anyway.

A little brightness yesterday, I got a pretty surprise from one of my best friends.  Carrie sent me a little boquet of flowers in a vase.  Lavendar roses with somepretty pink flowers, I’m not sure what they are.  But it definitely made me smile and made me feel loved.  It’s been awhile since I felt that way.  Now I just have to keep the cats from eating them.  I’ve been successful so far.  I had to push them away from them a few times yesterday, and when I went to bed I hid them.  I keep thinking maybe when I go to bed I should put them in the fridge, but I don’t want to accidentally kill them that way. 

He put the hood to his costume on a little while ago and was walking around with it on.  Very cute, I must say.  It fits pretty good, although it looks a little odd with his Avalanche jersey, lol.  Once I get the bottom hem on the shirt done, he can start wearing the shirt and pants to school and stuff, too.  Which will be nice.

Had a groovy chat with Rob today.  It was nice having a friend to talk to, that’s for sure.  I miss having that regularly, but I’ll take occasionally over never.

I’ve been reading this book by Jack Higgins, Dark Justice.  It’s pretty slow so far.  I’m giving it another 50 pages to grab my attention then I’m moving on.  My “They made that into a movie” bookbox arrived home about a week ago, so I’ve got some interesting stuff in there to read.  Some I’ve already read, so I’ll find places to release those.  Some I haven’t read but would really like to, like Chocolat and Little Women.

Aaron is coming over tonight.  It’ll be nice to see him again.  It’s been quite awhile, after all.  Haven’t seen him since that Memorial Day party before I moved out here.

Hoping to hook up with Rob and play some more Magic: The Gathering online with him this weekend or something.  That’d be fun.  It’s funny because the systems chat eliminates naughty words.  Doesn’t put symbols in their place or anything.  They just don’t show up.  So when I want to tell him I have the “Fuck you, I win” card, it tends to come out looking like: I have the      you, I win card.  Which is funny, but not nearly as effective.  So we say smurf.  As in “I have the smurf you, I win card” or “you smurf!” or “smurfin deck is stacked against me.”  Which makes it even funnier, to be honest.

Gage keeps turning the living room light off and on.  He likes watching the fan stop and go.  It’s kinda funny, actually.
