When you have the swine flu and have to stay in bed all day, your days run together and you have no idea what time or what day it is. Also I’ve barely eaten anything in the past 48 hours. Also my sleeping patterns are gonna be so messed up when this debacle is over with. On the (very!) plus side, my temperature is down from 103.1 F or 39.5 C last night to 99.3 F or 37.4 C this morning…almost gone!

Sucks.

H1N1. Yep. That means no work this week, no Stouffville this weekend, no choir tonight (hopefully I won’t lose my solo!), oh yeah and I feel like crap.

“The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus are similar to the symptoms of regular seasonal flu. They include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.”

(Not sure, yup, uh-huh, got that, check, kinda, definitely)

I guess I’ll see how I’m feeling tomorrow.

I realized today just how beautiful a poem In Flanders Fields is. I spent some of my morning memorizing it, then read it out loud to the volunteers at the construction site.

fuckyeahstrangefinds: The world’s smallest mother is about to...

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:32:45 -0500

fuckyeahstrangefinds:

The world’s smallest mother is about to give birth for the third time - despite warnings she is risking her life.

Stacey Herald, who is just 2ft 4in tall, was told that becoming pregnant could kill her, but bravely defied doctors to have two babies half her height.

The 35-year-old from Dry Ridge, Kentucky in the U.S. suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which causes brittle bones and underdeveloped lungs, and means she failed to grow.

Now Mrs Herald, who uses a wheelchair, and her husband Will, who is 5ft 9in, are eagerly awaiting the birth of their third baby, due in the next four weeks.

Currently as wide as she is tall, she cannot hold her daughter because her belly gets in the way, and has to rely on her husband to do most things around the house.

She admits being pregnant is ‘uncomfortable’ and leaves her bedridden for weeks on end.

By the time the new addition, a boy, is one he will already tower over his mother.

But despite all the obstacles, the mother and father, a trainee priest, say they want even more children.

The couple met in 2000 while working for a supermarket in their home town and were desperate for a family after marrying in 2004.

But doctors warned Mrs Herald a baby would grow so large inside her tiny body it would eventually crush her organs, strangling her from the inside out.

Mrs Herald said: ‘It broke my heart that I couldn’t have kids.

‘All my life my parents had told me that I could do anything. Then there were these doctors telling me that we couldn’t be a complete family. It really hurt.’

I find it amusing that it was warmer today, in mid-November, than it was some days this summer.

What? Who knew this was a thing? This sucks. I just want to finish watching Grey’s and for some reason it’s not on ctv.ca. The world is against me.

I actually started to cry. I don’t know why, but I choked up hardcore.

So good! Also the music goes perfectly.

Should I dress up for Halloween at work tomorrow?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:53:50 -0400

Most likely nobody else will dress up. But I’m essentially the only person on site not doing construction work. And I’m “fun.” Also does this mean I have to bring in candy?

If yes, should I:

a) Dress up like a biker chick (my costume this year)?

b) Dress up like a zombie (as per last Saturday - note the H4H shirt already bloody)?

c) Dress up like a goth (basically wear all black + nails and lipstick…hmmm maybe not so good with the pink hard hat)?

d) Something else (I’m open to suggestions)?

Lost my Metro pass. Good thing it's the second last day of the month!

Oh, what a day...

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:47:00 -0400

I took the day off work today because John’s mom got tickets to a taping of CityLine. It was Makeover Madness day and so everyone in the audience got around $250 dollars worth of give aways! Including: a makeup sanitation kit, makeup from Bourjois, a Revlon palette, a scarf/shawl from Spanner, and a $67 gift card for Milestones/Kelseys/Swiss Chalet/Montanas (from Molson, advertising their new 67-calorie light Canadian beer)! Also they were picking people for makeovers, and they asked if I could come in next Wednesday to do a salon makeover! But alas I will be at work. Then Sue and I went to Spring Rolls for lunch, walked around/shopped for a bit, and got Starbucks (hello Pumpkin Spice latte). Now I am home curled up in bed about to watch a movie.

Watch me next Wednesday at 9am or 3pm on City TV!
