i'm going home on thursday for christmas cheer with the family but now i'm at this home with a fever and scratchy throat. boo. nick just made me some ginger-lemon tea with honey and we're about to snuggle with bill and courtney (the girlfriend) in front of a movie. i will work on my crooked knitting project and cough. stellar. i really want to go to work tomorrow to make my daily gazillion dollars but i think giving people sick for christmas is not exactly the " spirit of giving" people talk about so much. christmas decorations are up and the tree is beautiful and all i'm waiting for now is snow snow snow. i have a feeling i'll be waiting for a while. i'm gonna go watch my movie now. adios.
