In the last week: Annie’s grandmother died Zoe spent her first period of time apart from Annie (3 days) Burrito (our cat) is not eating, which is how her sister started deteriorating before we had to put her down. I worked a 66-hour work week Our friend Eric was in a motorcycle accident (he’s got [...]
“Here’s what’s actually happening. The US is the only major industrialised country that does not provide regular healthcare to all its citizens. Instead, they are required to provide for themselves – and 50 million people can’t afford the insurance. As a result, 18,000 US citizens die every year needlessly, because they can’t access the care [...]
Zoe has been sick off and on for about two weeks now. It started with an ear infection, which got bad enough that her doctor put her on antibiotics. Then she got a bit of a cold, threw up a couple of times, and then diarrhea for about a week. Plus she’s been teething. Yesterday, [...]
We’re going to get a DSL connection here at my parent’s house. This will enable me to do work for my new job (did I mention that it’s a telecommuting position?) without having to put up with the 30-second lag time that I sometimes get when working in a telnet window. Hopefully, it will be [...]
It’s raining outside. I love rain. But more importantly, I love the first rain after summer. There’s just something great about getting sick of the heat, and then opening your window and listening to the sound of the rain. I’ve been feeling the itch lately. About once a year or so, I get an urge [...]
Yarrr… I’m feeling better! Still kinda sniffly and coughy, but definitely better. We’re cleaning house today, which always feels kinda symbolic. You let the house get into terrible shape, because you feel too bad to clean, so then when you get over it, you need to clean, but it’s sorta ritualistic, representing the cleansing of [...]
I think one of the worst parts about getting sick is trying to make up for it afterward. I tend to skip class a good deal. I’ve been doing it less than usual this term, but I’ve still skipped a couple times. So on tuesday, I got sick, and I missed all my classes (and [...]
I don’t get sick very often, so when I do, it usually takes me completely by surprise. I’m one of those people who gets a few colds and maybe a touch of the flu each year, but is fine most of the time. I’ve also never really had any major health-related things happen to me. [...]
Last year I went to Seattle for thanksgiving. My girlfriend and I were visiting her family in Tacoma, and then got on a bus to go to Seattle to meet my parents for thanksgiving day. I felt alright when I got on the bus. I had felt a little odd when I got up that [...]
Yarrrr… (I say that quite a bit… Pirate noises are the best). Well, since I last updated, the term has ended successfully! Out of my three classes this term, not one of them had a traditional final. Graphic Design III had a large final project which was due last week, and then we didn’t meet [...]
In Which Scott Gets Sick and Watches Lots of Movies
Ugh. I’ve been sick. Urn had a cold, which somehow Annie caught. So of course, now I get sick, too. Which wouldn’t have been so bad if Annie hadn’t used up all the Kleenex and taken all the cold medicine with her when she went home for the weekend. Oh well. On a weekend when [...]
