I still have my flu-e-cold-ish-thing. Doing much better though, thank you. Thursday it was just starting, from about 2am to 2 pm friday was the worst, barely breath, coughing, lots of draining, horrible. Started getting better after that (as if it could have gotten worse).

Short one this time, because I am miserable. Either allergies, or a flu-ish thing. I'm not running a temp, but I seldom do. My normal body temperature is in the high 96s to mid 97s, and I am at 97.8. My brother had a flu, was running 99.9 temp, mom seems to have the same thing, so probably is a flu.

Yep, Best Buy has macs again. They have been going on and off their website all week, but it seems they will now stay.

I finally have this timing thing down. Rather than that every 2nd day thing that never works, I am going with an every 3rd day schedule. I chose this because it is less frequent and thus easier, and because thats the schedule I seem to have been following without knowing it.

Actually, I dont know if I am, I post like 12:01am and dont know if it should be the current day of previous or what. I dont think it matters really. It was my rule to do every other day so I can break it. Besides, I already pointed out that whole "other" v. "oter" thing.
