sick days

I've missed work the past 3 days due to a cold.  In those 3 days, I have...

-woken up past 10am and gone to sleep before 11pm every day.  that's about 11 hrs of sleep a night.  word.
-beaten at least 3 video games i'd started a while ago but never played to completion
-spent an inordinate amount of time reading blogs/random websites/youtube (my newest thing = food blogs)
-started reading 3 books
-attempted to play the guitar.  having to stop every 15 seconds to wipe my nose put an end to that endeavor quickly.  side note, being sick makes my voice all gravely and low so its kinda fun to sing.  except being sick also makes me cough.  pros and cons i guess.
-finished off every half-eaten bag of chips in our pantry (and one slightly suspect half eaten hershey's bar.  totally worth it.)
-watched wayyyy too much sportscenter even though nothing ever changes.  (it's like a drug.  once that intro music starts, it's like a tractor beam for my eyes.)
-not changed out of my pajamas.
-had to schedule a doctor's appt b/c the federal gov't wants a note if you skip work for 3 days or more.  wtf man.  i thought i was done with school.  now i'm gonna be that idiot who wastes the doctor's time (and $20 worth of my insurance copay) all for a stupid cold.  i wish i could just go in and say "i need a note. i don't even wanna see the doctor."
-blown (literally) through 2 double sized rolls of charmin ultra.  my trashcan is overflowing.
-been bored enough (and had enough time on my hands) to update this thing.

but i'm getting over it.  i should be back to normal by tomorrow if not the next day.  hooray work. :(

all i want for christmas is....

1.  slippers for wearing around the house so i don't have to put on socks (already checked off, i think)
2.  wool socks for when i do have to wear socks (possibly checked off)
3.  warm leather gloves
4.  a pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
5.  dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
6.  starbucks' salted caramel hot chocolate (it's like caramel popcorn....but you drink it. yeahhhhhhhh)
7.  this lil' guy (watch from 40secs on)
8.  a commute that doesn't require me waking up 3 hours before i sit down at my desk.  or...
9.  tons and tons of snow (enough to cancel work from now until march)
