Happy Fourth!

Consindering that several past 4th of July days involved me sitting in a hot park at one of my mom's craft fairs, I feel like today will be a good day. Don't know if there's gonna be any cookout or picnic involved in my day today, but to be honest, doesn't matter either way.

Adhalia brought over some Robutssin for me last night and I actually had a pretty good nights rest. Thank GOD! I think I've gotten over the hump at least.

Hope everyone enjoys their day off. And as a little gift, check out this adorable kid from America's Got Talent.

Drink Applejuice. OJ will kill you.

Actually, I really HATE apple juice. So it's OJ for me all the way!

I'm feeling a little better today. My mom is in town from Atlanta and she bought me loads of orange juice to drink. Half a cartoon through, I can already tell that its vitaminy goodness is working its magic. I think I slept for a total of 3 hours last night. For the longest time I just couldn't fall asleep. To much tossing and turning and nose blowing and coughing to settle myself down. And then I felt like I might puke and that's never good. So I got up and made myself some green tea and that helped. The only green tea I drink is Lipton Green Tea with Honey. Actually, there's a raspberry flavor that's pretty delicious too. I keep a box of both of those as well as a box of Tazo Chai at my Aunt V's house so I'm never without tea on the weekends.

Anywho, it sucks that I'm gonnna be sick on the 4th. I can tell that I'm gonna be sick for at least the next couple of days. This is one of those bitches that just has to run its course. Having a cold and being out in the hot sun are just not good combinations. Hopefully, I can still manage to have some kind of fun this weekend. And if not, I'm sure my neighbors will have fun for me as there will probably be a bloc party every night until Monday.

Nerrissa has next week off and is taking mommy out into the city to go do cool tourists things like shopping on canal street. I wish I could go! But I'm looking forward to going to Kings Avenue Tattoo next Saturday to have my consultation with Grez. I can't believe it's time already. This will be my first time getting inked so I'm definitely anxious about it. Hopefully, I'll be mad tuff about the whole thing and won't freak out or make an idiot out of myself. I mean, lots of people get tattoos. It can't be THAT bad...right?

* Cough Cough* I'm sick

Just so you know, I have a vicious, evil cold that is reeking havoc on my immune system. I cough, I sneeze, I blow my nose every 30 seconds. It's great fun. Not to mention all the congestion and the sore throat. I feel like my head is going to explode. Anybody else have a summer cold? It's the worst.

I bought some NyQuil a few days ago but that hasn't done jack shit. Despite the expiration date saying December 2008, I have a sneaking suspicion that this stuff isn't as potent as the NyQuil hanging out in the medicine cabinet of my Aunt V's house. Now that shit will knock you out for hours and hours on end. Once, when Nerrissa was sick, she took some and we had to check on her to make sure she wasn't dead, she was asleep for so long. That's the NyQuil I need.


Anywho, this morning I got some Dayquil (in the liquid form; when that orange fluid goes down my throat, i actually feel like it's doing something" and some Tylenol Cold Multi-Sympton Severe. My shit is severe like whoa. Hopefully Tylenol and Dayquil will beat this summer cold like it stole something and give me a much needed good nights sleep.



I need to write about so much. I need to write about Snowden and The Cure shows and Nikka Costa. Hopefully, I'll get around to that shortly....
