Another Bummer of a Weekend

Well, it was another bummer of a weekend for Brian and I. Friday, I was still feeling sick and fell asleep early, only to sleep 13 hours. Then on Sat morning, Brian pinched a nerve in his neck and became a robot (moving like a robot) for the weekend. Yesterday, we found the Korean grocery strore in Grand Rapids so that we could make some real food. Then I spent 3 hours making 86 dumplings. It was nice, because I wanted to do something that required little thought or moving about.

This is a busy week, we have Brian's birthday on Weds, and we are moving my big furniture on Friday. Then next week we have Kristin's wedding in North Carolina.

I found a wrinkle in my diploma so I decided to order another one. I am going to have both framed. Then I have one for work and one for home. Obviously the biggest one will be at home to compete with Brian's diploma.

Back in Business

Sorry for the long lag since I've posted. After graduation, Brian and I came down with the flu. We've been out of commission for over a week now. It was by far the worst bug we've ever had. Its a good thing his couch is big enough for the both of us.

We went through at least 5 boxes of kleenex and we are still going. But we started antibiotics this Sun since Brian's became a sinus infection and my ears were becoming a real problem. Brian's back at work, but I'm still recovering.

Then last night, just for fun I decided to clog the garbage disposal so that the water wouldn't drain. So there we are in our full sinus congestion glory taking apart the garbage disposal with water flooding all over the place. But somehow, we figured it out and cleaned it all up. There should be some sort of home owner class that people can take at a community college to teach you how to fix some of the random things that happen when you own a house.

I have not worked on my job hunt since I've been sick, so no news there.

I unrolled my dipolma yesterday, only to find a few distinct dents and that it is much smaller that Brian's. I am going to order a new one without the dents. And I will have to do some serious matting to make my diploma equal (or bigger) than his. One problem is that mine is vertical and his is horizontal. I will be working on that.

I hope to be well enough to go to Andrea's baby shower, but still today, I am too sick to drive that far.

Hopefully, I will be on the mend soon
