Four and a half inches

That's how much mail was piled on my desk when I came in this morning. On my keyboard. About to topple over. Haven't people ever heard of something called an Inbox? It's right there next to my monitor, people. I don't keep a letter-sized wire metal tray on my desk for decorative purposes. I guess that's what I get for having the audacity to call in sick yesterday.

Lots of congestion and sinus pressure today, but at least my throat isn't killing me and my voice is somewhat stable.

Yes, I measured the pile of mail. What. Seriously, what?

Excellent car ad here, courtesy [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick. Excellent eye candy here, courtesy [livejournal.com profile] rougewench.

I realize this isn't terribly likely, but it's worth asking: If anyone has a nice, small-to-medium size chest freezer they'd like to sell to me for cheap, please let me know. I need one by Monday and I've hemorrhaged an assload of money this month already. Oh, almost forgot, this evening I get to go buy a troupe costume for Raghsidad. The hits just keep on coming, I tell you.

Wait, throat sore and sinus stuffy? Oh dear, I think I have a faint version of that myself. But it hasn't ever gotten to the PITA level, so I have been fortunate there.

For when the voice comes back...

Woo! Thanks for the lyrics.

Size DOES matter, just check the mail.

There is Never a good time to be ill, but chill temps often make it worse for me, personally. I hope your ick clears up sooooon!

So what do you need this freezer for? Not that I have one, I'm just charmed by images of you coping with the engineering problems posed by the storing of severed limbs. :)

A co-worker's husband shot a deer for me last week. The butcher will have it ready for delivery on Monday. Wooo!

There is a small freezer in our garage - if you end up without a place to store for a while it is currently mostly empty.

Fab! If we can't locate a decently-priced freezer this week, I'll take you up on that.

Pooch says there is room, but there is a freezer tax.

Does it involve Russian Tea Cakes?

My guess is you are making a cute literary refrence that went right over my head

Nah, just a reference to my post from today. =)

Yuck, I missed work on Thursday and Friday for the exact same thing. There wasn't a lot I could take for the sinuses either, so I had to suffer the pain until my mother told me to stick my head over a pot of boiling salt water.

Sears Outlet...

on Front Street in KC. Reliable warranteed appliances that might or might not be dented for CHEAP!. It's how they get rid of their returns.

I don't mind a little dent if it works, has a warranty and is CHEAP!

I know it's tough being sick... hopefully you'll get feeling better soon {{hugs}}

By the way, love the car commercial. I actually saw it a couple weeks ago. Snagged a copy for my web site

No: We will all be full of vim and vigor for the trip. That is all.
