I have concluded that the woman across the hall doesn't work. I think her purpose in life is to go in and out of her apartment all day long with her large (and really not allowed) two dogs and her puppy. Every time she leaves her apartment to take the monsters outside, she slams her door shut. Then she slams the door at the top of the stairs. Then she slams the door at the bottom of the stairs, which is the worst because the spring is broken on it I think and it SLAMS! shut, shaking the whole building. Yes, I didn't think it was possible for the building to shake like that either, but there it is. On cold days when she probably doesn't want to take the animals out, the dishes in my cupboards rattle. The one day she was coming out just as I was, and she ducked back into the apartment until I walked away, and then came out with the puppy under her arm. She's very weird, and Marlon doesn't like the man that comes around there on the weekends. He growls at him.

Thanks so much for the compliments on my picture! I can't take credit for the pose, that was my coworker's idea, but I do really love the way it turned out. Now I can hardly wait to go to the real beach this summer.

I'm getting over my cold. It really sucks to have days off and then be sick, although I'd much rather be sick here than at work. At least here I can stay in my pjs all day, and curl up on the couch and watch TV. I took Dayquil on Sunday when I was at work, and it made me so loopy. All I did was think everything was funny, and stare blankly when people asked me questions. At least I only had one appointment.  I warned my coworkers that it makes me loopy, and so they just gave me odd smiles and ignored everything I said all day. It was funny. I don't even remember anything I said, except I was really incoherent. And I told the rather annoying coworker to quit whining. Loudly and sarcastically. That's not really like me. She got a little mad, but I didn't even care at the time. I just smiled at her. I'm not going to take Dayquil at work anymore.

I have to start reading label on processed foods. I'm a little lactose intolerant, and these past two days at home I've been feeling really sick. I hadn't even had that much milk, so I hopped online and discovered that there is lactose in a lot of prepared and packaged foods, it just has different names. I read the labels on some of the food I was eating and sure enough, almost all of them had lactose in them. A little surprising. Normally I can eat some dairy products...if I have a glass of milk, or a couple of pieces of pizza it doesn't bother me. I need to go shopping today. I'm glad there is a grocery store right around the corner. I also need to have the repair guy come back and check my oven. Again. My apartment still smells like gas when I use it. Not good. So I haven't cooked anything in the oven, and it's limiting my food choices.

Okay, I have things I should get up and do other than ramble on because I'm sick and bored.

Later!

That's funny about the woman across the hall. That Dayquil will put your out. It still kinda makes me a little drousy. BTW I hope your feeling better soon.

I hope you're feeling lots better.
