my cold is making me cranky.

why are men so stubborn? i just got off the phone with Ross and he sounds horrible. he has the loudest wheeze i've ever heard. he has severe allergies to cats and he rescued a kitten about 3.5 weeks ago and has felt horrible ever since.

he's trying to tough it out because he thinks eventually... he'll develop a tolerance.

riiiight.

he also thinks he has a cold which is making him feel much worse than he normally would...

uh. huh.

i am keeping my opinions to myself for once because i refuse to fight with my boyfriend over a kitten. i've purposefully not tried bonding with the kitten because i know he won't be able to keep it and i don't want any emotional attachment to the poor little guy.

all i can hope is that his allergies become so unbearable that he sees the light.

should be an interesting weekend. i'm having my brother watch the dogs this weekend because i need a break and i know Ross is already stressed out with his allergies acting up and having 3 pets and 3 people crammed into a small apartment is not conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.

don't get me wrong we both love the dogs but they can be a little rambunctious and hard to manage. so my girls will be spending some quality time in their own domain with their uncle jeff.. and uncle jeff will get a quiet weekend with an extra $50 bucks in his pocket for his trouble.

and i will get to sleep in and not have to worry about taking the dogs out every few hours.

SO! who else is excited to see new moon???

hehe.

i think this impending cold is fucking with me... i call it an impending cold cuz it hasn't hit me yet...

yesterday i had a headache and sore throat but as today passed by the sore throat is gone. i wish it would either hit me or leave me alone...

i like things black and white..

anyway. that's it.

i have a sore throat and the slight sense of a tickle happening....

i didn't come down with a cold last week but i think i'm running out of luck...

i hate being sick so i really hope it's just from the dry electric heating of my apartment.

no title... i don't like coming up with them

had a busy couple of days at work.. which is now weird to say because psych nursing isn't really physically busy.. it's more mentally draining than anything... but we've had a few very sick ppl...

h1n1 negative thankfully.. we had one confirmed case who was shipped out and luckily no one else became sick...


this morning though i have a sore throat and a runny nose... GREAT!! ross was coming down with a cold when i was there on the weekend so i've more than likely caught it from sucking face with him. LOL.

what one does for love eh?

Halloween was good... not great... but good. Isaiah has a bit of a phobia of all things that go bump in the night so actually convincing him to go up and knock on doors for candy was a bit taxing.. but we made it through. we went around to doors that weren't decorated too scary and he was satisfied with what he got.

when i was a kid... it was a race to see how much candy you could get and we would fill pillowcases and sometimes more...

i don't see the same amount of excitement on kid's faces either.. they walk slow... no pushing, no running... guess trick or treating is not a competitive sport anymore!

so i have two days off... laundry and groceries to do (always) and i have to make an appointment to take my car in to get the headliner replaces because it's peeling off... they don't make cars like they used to.. i hope it's not a sign of things to come. i've already replaced the windshield and had a stone chip repaired... and now the headliner...

why don't people take pride in their work and make things that last? why are we such a disposable society? i don't get it.. with the environmental issues we have... lets just make a car that lasts 5 years if you're lucky then throw it in a heap!!

changing gears.... i just bought a new album by pete yorn and scarlett johansson called break up.... and i love it! i turned my nose up at first because like most people i don't take actresses who try and make a music career very serious and vice versa.. but i really liked the album.

ok i've blabbered enough... time for another coffee and some music to get me motivated to get off my ass and get some errands done.

gah

sitting at home waiting to "feel sick"...

there was 2 confirmed cases of h1n1 at work.. and of course i didn't find out until after being exposed for two days... today is day 4 after exposure and i still feel fine, but i'm holding off my trip to ottawa for the weekend just incase.

if i still feel fine in a few hours i'll probably go, i just wish i would either get sick or be fine... and not have to wait around and see what happens.

i hate not being sure... i like things in black and white.. i function quite well in those shades...

random stuff

not much to update about.. still loving my new job, still loving my boyfriend ross, still loving my dogs, friends, family...

i'm pretty fricken content... which is nice to say. not a lot of people can say they have nothing to complain about. and i right now... have nothing to complain about.

sure i wish my house was cleaner.. wish my car was paid off, wish i was househunting.. but that will all come eventually. i'm not going to bitch because i don't have those things right this minute... i'm just gonna work my ass off until it all happens.

anyhoo...

i worked nights last night and refuse to sleep today because i don't want to waste of my days off. well, waste them sleeping while i could be doing fun shit anyway.

so with that i'm gonna get off my ass and clean up around here.

here's a pic i took of the girls checking out a rabbit hole this morning on our walk.. for some reason they're both obsessed with rabbits...they must smell really good and be fun to chase or something.
