SICK OF BEING SICK

So, today marked the 4th day of me being sick. It started on Sunday morning, with me starting to lose my voice, to today, with me having nasal and chest congestion, and a high fever as a result. I missed work Monday and Tuesday, thinking that getting some rest and fluids would help me get better faster. Well, I was wrong. I got worse Tuesday night, but because I had missed 2 days of work already (which means, I don’t get paid for those 2 days), I was determined to go to work today. I felt OK in the morning when I got to work, but as the day progressed, my coughing got worse, and then my temperature started to spike up again. I was going to try to get to the end of the day, but I was already getting delirious from the heat, the a/c was making me even more sick. I was getting nauseous, I just had to go home early. I called my boss, thinking he would ask a whole bunch of questions on why I’m leaving early. But, I think he saw how miserable I felt AND looked (everyone noticed), that all he said, when I asked if I could go home, was “OK”. The drive home was almost unbearable! The a/c was on full-blast, but it was making my temp spike up! I rolled down the window, but the air was so warm, I wanted to throw up. As soon as I got home, I ate a late lunch (it was already 3:30pm), took some Ibuprofen and then tried to take a nap. I felt a bit better when I woke up but it’s so hot, I don’t know what to do with myself! Went to Walgreens after gassing up my car and bought some Tylenol Cold and Flu. I’m hoping it will help me knock out tonight and that I will feel better tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for me to get better soon! Thank you!

NEW LOOK.

Trying out a new look for my blog. Wanted a bit of a change. I was getting tired of the gray and blue color scheme. I'm gonna try this out for a while and see if it I'll stick to it.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. YES, INDEED.

Saw the movie last Friday night with my girl friends, sisters Babie and Cat. We had originally planned on seeing another movie, but that turned out to be sold out, so we decided to go for Spidey. They were a little hesitant to see it at first. I, however, have wanted to see it ever since I'd heard that Andrew Garfield (Doctor Who, The Social Network) was going to play the arachnid hero. Anyway, all I have to say is, this is definitely better than the last Spidey movie with Tobey Maguire (the first one was OK). And Andrew portrayed Peter Parker/Spider-Man so much better than TM. He was geeky, yet super-adorable at the same time, and quite a nerdy charmer, if THAT'S even possible. But, he pulled it off, complete with the disheveled hair, which reminded me of David Tennant's 10th Doctor in Doctor Who, which Andrew was also in an episode of during DT's tenure as the Doctah (it all ties in with DW somehow, haha!). So, I've known of Andrew for quite some time now, before he even starred in The Social Network as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Emma Stone is also in the film as his love interest, Gwen Stacy, and they have quite a wonderful chemistry, their off-screen romantic relationship notwithstanding. Rhys Ifan (the "nutter" roommate in Notting Hill) was scary-brilliant as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard. Wonderful performances by Sally Field as Aunt May, and Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben Parker. Can't wait for the next installment.

4 out of 5 stars.

DIRTY LOOPS: ROLLING IN THE DEEP (ADELE COVER)

I know they've been around for while now. A lot of people have discovered the wonder that is Dirty Loops. But I just wanted to share this because they're quite a musical discovery for me, and I absolutely appreciate and enjoy their talents. Their cover of Britney Spears' "Circus" has made me a fan of that song. Anyway, enjoy some really good music.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

I've always loved Michael Kors' design aesthetic. Very distinct, has clean lines, not overtly decorated, chic, and elegant. I've been wanting this Chronograph watch in Rose Gold for the longest time, and I'm actually a bit envious because a former co-worker of mine, and 2 current ones own the exact same watch. They've actually been urging me to get one, but at $250.00 a pop, it's a bit out of my budget. OK, it's A LOT out of my budget. For now, I will just be content with my knock-off that I purchased at Target for a grand total of... wait for it, wait for it...$16!!! I'm a happy camper.

I'm losing my voice! My throat hurts. It's hard to sing because it hurts. :( I hope and pray it doesn't get worse. Sadness.
