that's right, i am finally feeling a little better. i attribute this to several factors:

lots of rest yesterday.
lots of sleep last night
being heavily medicated last night and today
getting my humidifier to work

whatever it was, i plan on doing it again tonight, so i will get home from work, eat some chicken soup, then lie around on the couch until i go upstairs, take the maximum dosage of Nyquil, and get to bed by 10. hopefully, this feeling better will carry over into tomorrow night, so that i don't fall asleep before the ball even drops for the new year. we'll see how that goes.

this weekend i got a call from my friend George (i call him Georaj-very different from my G) who i worked with 2 summers ago. he's from Minnesota but will be in West Virginia for New Years, so he'll be spending the weekend with me. he and i are about the most opposite people in the entire world, so i'm thinking that for those of my friends who get to meet him, they're going to be thinking "how on earth did the 2 of them spend 2 months together and not kill each other??" it should prove very interesting.

my Christmas break was really great. i got lots of clothes (ok, that's pretty much all i got!) and some random fun stuff and had a good time with the fam. George and i got to spend a lot of time together which was SO nice. on Friday we went up to Baltimore to his mom's resturant for dinner, then saw Mona Lisa Smile with his sister. i loved the movie and i'm pretty sure he hated it, but he won't tell you that. Saturday he went with me to Sarita's graduation party, which was lots of fun. after that we stopped by my parent's house for a bit, then headed back to Severn where we just kicked back and watched some TV. very chill, very low key, very what i have wanted for a while.

Sunday was when i started feeling sick, so i just headed home for the day where my mommy took care of me before i headed back home for bed. last night Chris and i went grocery shopping and i stocked up on Nyquil and Dayquil and so far it seems to be doing the trick. i'm still a little tired today, but i think that might be from the sleepy medicine in the Nyquil, especially since-as we found out yesterday-side effects always affect me.

all in all, i am a much happier and healthier camper today than i have been in a while, and i am glad to be feeling better.
