well, i thought i was in the clear but i was wrong. i'm tempted to blame johnny for this but who knows how i got sick again. yesterday after lunch i started to feel a tickle in my throat. i figured it was the heater (i hate convection heat!) at work and i knew if i breathed in that shit for too long it would make me sick. well, by bedtime my throat felt like it had been rubbed raw by a thousand razors and i didn't sleep all night long. this morning i could barely speak when i called in sick. luckily, we have zicam - like every product they sell. the cough spray really really helped cause everytime i coughed i wanted to cry. right now i am just really tired and somewhat feverish. my throat feels a bit better. hopefully i'll be better by tomorrow, but things could go downhill fast. i've been watching old episodes of charmed in bed with the dogs. i truly hate being sick.

in crafty news, i made an xmas ornament - well actually alot of our xmas ornaments we made - but this one i photoshopped the dogs into a small frame we got at michaels. i made little snowflakes out of doggie bones and made it look all pretty. we got some great ornaments on our tree! this weekend i think johnny is going to decorate the outside of the house - our neighbor across the street put up a bunch of lights so now he's feeling competitive.

today my mom took me to a korean restaurant for fish soup and she asked me about my future. always a loaded question. but she kept it low-pressure. she even told me that i could have that 14 acres of land with the waterfall. it's a small relatively useless patch of land but it's still land. it's the area where she wanted to put a subdivision and i tried to convince her into making it a green community. i'm actually kind of surprised that she's taking me seriously about the whole living in the country thing. she said she regrets not planting those black walnut tress on her other property when she first bought it back in the early 80's. she said i should plant trees right away. i think that's exactly what i will do.
