Work was fabulous on Thursday. Mark had caught a cold or something, and it was getting bad fast. I gave him some zinc lozenges the night before, and we went to Kroger after work to get more cold supplies. I tried to take a nap when I got home (though I was aching to read the new Star Trek fiction guide that had arrived on our door while I'd been at work), but my cousin Joy called, which didn't bother me at all. We had a great conversation, and then I was awake, so I read the book after all. This helped prevent me from getting much sleep, AGAIN.

Today, when I woke up for work, I felt horrible. Mark had apparently called into work, but had decided he was going to go in. I felt far worse than I excpeted to, and I was worried that I might have caught his sickness. I knew that work would probably be really slow today, and that if I went I might spend the day just standing around, and have passed on Mark's symptoms for no good reason. I called in, and they said they were dead, and they would be fine without me. This allowed me to get some sleep; less than I had expected, but enough so that I can function. I don't think I have Mark's illness now, which is a HUGE relief, though I may yet catch it.

So Bryan's birthday is Sunday. I told him I didn't know what to give him this year, and he told me a big hug would be fine; maybe that's what he'll get as I'm stumped. Mollie's birthday is on Monday. I know what I want to get her, and have known for sometime, but haven't yet had all the right stuff in line to get it. She's coming over in a little while to watch Nip/Tuck, Desperate Housewives, and just hang out in general.

I'm going to eat and get ready, I guess. And I want to make another mashup cd for Joy. ;-0)
