Life has cycles: work sucks, I get sick, family drama, I get sick...

Once again followed the grand tradition of coming down with an illness after a stressful situation. I'm not sure if I have the flu or the cold; I'm not coughing yet, but my throat feels like it had been scrapped with a brillo pad and for a while I had a steady fever of 102. I think I'm going to suck on another Sucrete and then attempt to pour some soup down the gullet.

But being sick at work was hilarious, because EVERYONE was avoiding me, so the 8 1/2 hours actually went by pretty painlessly. Maybe I'll fake a cough next time someone bothers me. >D. And fever is down to 100, so I think I'll stay up for a little while before heading back to bed.

All I can say to this is: LOL. XD

Guess I did the retrospective after all ;)

In retrospect, potato salad is a silly thing to eat when you are sick XD.

It is unlikely I will be awake come new years, but that's perfectly fine with me because it means I'll be starting the new year correctly, getting 8+ hours of blessed sleep <3.

2007, for all the work drama and illnesses, was a damned good year, even if not much really happened. There was a certain graduation, George's spectacular crash, Maui trip, Harry Potter's end, SHINY, the Losing (+kept off) of over 30 pounds, and the Writing of over 200,000 words of original fiction this year between Lovell, Suds, and Spellbrooke. Not to mention all the backstory in those projects AND in the revival of IPOM. My internet/fandom input/output was considerably in the input end of things, and I watched a lot of movies. Good year. <3

The biggest blessing was getting on the scale today and seeing a number that is only 15 pounds more than I was in high school. Which means I'm only 35 pounds away from my goal weight, 140. So definitely starting 2008 off right from a defatting prospective :D.

The only thing I'm bothered didn't happen this year was Kingdom officially opening, because we are TERRIBLY CLOSE to being ready, but trying to get Fly/Ree/Me together at the same time is considerably difficult, so some minor things still need to be worked out. But we are sooo close, so it doesn't feel like a failure at all.

Goals for the next year: drop more weight & maintain it, obtain awesome job, write more (fanfic and original fiction), and get a haircut :D
