Today is the day. The day! What day you may ask?
Why the Sabbath of course! Today is church and sunday school and Lyd coming home!
And lucky me, I'm still sick. Isn't that great [/Strongsad]! Didn't think so. This is totally the lamest kind of sick there ever were. I feel fine almost all the time. No upset stomach, no sore throat, no runny nose. I feel quite fun. Except for...it. I still hack and cough like the dickens, and it refuses to subside! Usually in the mornings it is better and at night it kicks up a notch. Perhaps it has to do with sleep? Maybe I'll nap this afternoon and that will help...
I steamed like a madman on wednesday, I think it was. The first try wasn't proper, I don't think. But the three times after that certainly were! I'm not sure it's exactly what I needed. I'm not saying it was negative, just not the positive effect I need to kick this. It did clear up my head a smidge, but it doesn't really help with bronchitis. I tried Hall's thursday and friday (no OD, which I don't have enough for anyway), and those did a little, but nothing spectacular. Took some Tussin friday and saturday night, which I can notice the help of both when I'm going to sleep and when I wake up. I'm hoping I really am near the end of this, because it's miserable being sick when you don't even feel sick!
On the reading front, I've finished all the Chronicles of Narnia as of yesterday. The Last Battle was quite good. I think it and Dawn Treader are my favorites (Silver Chair in close third). Last Battle stirred me up a little more than the others did. I was a little more attached to the characters or something. Speaking of which, I might try to get around to that last Harry Potter since I've been reading so much...oh wait, I probably won't any more :). But, I suppose I'll try. So far all I know about the newest HP is that...well, I suppose there's no use killing anyone elses fun, so I shan't speak. Ooh, ooh! There is a recent Goblet of Fire trailer out just a couple weeks ago. It's so good. It makes me want to see it such more (and perhaps re-read over Goblet). And of course there's the Narnia movie on December 9 (which I can understand so much more now that I've read the book).
While I'm on the movie tangent: Batman Begins has been out two weeks on Tuesday. Great movie to see in the theater (if you read this in the next couple hours, you can catch Batman Begins at the Imax today or tomorrow at like 7:30p) and I don't doubt it has some excellent features on the DVD. I do hope there are bloopers. Bloopers are the best special feature ever.
Hmm, I think Star Wars III comes out on DVD soon, and you know what that means... Muahahaha! That will be a day that shall live in infamy!
Ok, enough is enough. I've got to leave for church in a bit, and I'm going to get in my daily reading before I set sail. Have a great week everyone, and be sure to remember to have fun, have God and have sleep (not in this order).
In honor of her majesty: pip-pip, cheerio and all that!

Shift and Puzzle
Yesterday I finished The Silver Chair and started The Last Battle. I'm only just yet a couple chapters in. That Shift is so cruel, and poor Puzzle is so abused. I do hope Aslan saves the day, or at least Tirian and Jewel do something about it all.
Today there is no independent post, as I'm sure you all don't want to get excited over seeing a new post, and all it saying is Uno.
Because, we of course all know that one is the loneliest number that there ever was. Two? Almost as lonely as one, but the loneliest number is the number one. And with that in mind, I couldn't with a right conscience leave One out on it's own in this cold white background of mine and no company to keep. So here he is, bundled up with his friend Update, present and accounted for :).
Blast it all. I had composed this post down to this point, then some key got jarred on my computer and I lost everything I said. I've pretty well recreated everything I said up to this point, but I've quite forgotten what was to come next! I suppose next is health? I'm doing pretty well off (for being sick anyway). It quite stinks though, I don't feel sick, my throat isn't any sort of noticably sore, my head is a little stuffy, but that's it. But, I still have this rambunctious cough! I usually get away with being ok, but every now and then I get a hardy fit of it. Last night on the way to bed (at 9:30, got up at 7:30) I acquired some of Danny's Robatussin, which I think has helped so far. I slept really well, woke up not drowsy, and haven't been coughing too much yet today. It does usually get worse as the day goes on, however. We'll see how I do.
Oh, yes! There's a choir group staying here this weekend, and at every meal instead of praying, they sing a blessing with parts and all! It is Oh so good to hear such a nice sounding choir again. I do miss it. Well, I miss good choirs, anyway. Perhaps I'll have to look around for some sort of choral event to whisk to. Or maybe a symphony...
Well then! That's enough post, time for me to get searching on chorals and symphonics in my area!
Hasta luego.

Question, peoples:
I am wondering how the multitude feels about my posting style. Not how I write, that shan't change (it couldn't without too much effort), but my paragraphical form.
Do you prefer reading
line after line
with only single hard enters before a
new subject?
Or do you prefer a line break
between topics?
Do you like your blog bold
...or italic
Please do comment, as if you are reading this and are of the living, breathing sort, you must have some opinion in there somewhere. I would like my blog to be as easily readable to as many as possible as can be. No reason to keep with something if nobody likes it (in this case, anyhow). So please, tell me how you feel about this. Should I center my posts? Should I line break between subjects? Should I bother blogging? Excellent title, eh?
Only you can decide!
Also, I want to try experimenting with reformatting my blog, so don't be surprised to see minor changes here and there. And further down the road, a complete overhaul may be seen.

I have officially decided to start titling all my posts by the name of a random article from the english Wikipedia, just for fun (unless I already have a good title to use).
Today I decided to break down and buy...TEA! DUM, Dum, dum! I'm trying what I can to get better. I may even steam later (boil some water in the kitchen).
Basically, I went to Sbux on my way back from my bus run this morning, picked up a box of Tazo passion tea and a Top Pot old fashioned donut (memorialis). When I got back, I had my first ever, self-made, voluntary cup of tea! Wowie, wowie, wow. At first, I was still really skeptical. After steeping (ooh, words!) for a couple minutes, it started to smell like what I knew from Sbux (which is somewhat pleasant), but after a couple sips, the flavours were still a bit much for me. Luckily, if I ate some donut and succeeded it with some tea, it was less strong. So, I induced that some sugar in my tea would help, added a couple packets, and it did a little. I'm just going to have to wait for my barista to get home and show me how to prepare a proper cup 'o tea, mayhap in the style of the Scots. Of course, I'll hopefully be better by then anyhow, in which case I wouldn't bother with tea >:).
Oh! Oh! So last night, at Albertson's, I Totally scored on canned food. I got Spaghetti O's (I know, most of you probably think them gross) for 50¢/can, Nalley original chili for $1/can and I cleaned them fresh out of chicken corn chowder at $8/10 (I got the last five). In addition, I searched for a can opener last night. A regular old can opener that works like it should is like $10-14! So, I settled for the ridiculously cheap one at around $1.29. Today, I tried opening a can to no avail. Took it next door, and Ryan figured it out! So now I have this wicked cheap, kinda cool can opener that works! Yay for saving $10 on convenience and vanity!
Next item: reading. I finished Dawn Treader last night waiting outside Crista. It was good imagery to put with the song stuck in my head at the time (On Jordan's Stormy Banks) as I stood outside in the light rain and heavy wind. It was nice being out there by me onesies (though, I did consider that it may not have been the best for my cold), I just wish it would've been raining a bit harder and my hair were considerably shorter (but since it isn't and wasn't, no matter). Tomorrow if I don't see any reasonable difference in my health, I may start the pectin OD, so as to expunge this from me and get on with being healthy. But, we'll see about that tomorrow...
As for now, I've a Silver Chair to read about, maybe some tortilla chips to eat, life to ponder and work to be had (later).
In closing: 4 days.

Update while my english muffin toasts.
Feeling a bit better, coughing subsiding (still here, though), easier breathing. I think I may be on the tail end of whatever this was (hooray!). I've decided to go to resthome tonight, but no hugs.
3/4 or so done with Dawn Treader, taking it with me now to read in Edmonds (so I beat the traffic) before resthome.
More later, if there's more to say and time to say it.

Fall Morn
First, I shall explain the picture. This morning I got up at 7, went about my morning routine, then went outside to head over to the kitchen. After I stepped outside, I noticed some fog to my left. It looked really cool to see it all, so I took a nice mystic picture with my phone. Normally, I just go black and white, but I thought the color showed the misty morning best. Oh, it was great.
As for an update, yesterday I worked a nice long day. I wasn't supposed to start until 8:30, but I forgot about that detail and started at 7:30 :). I had gotten up at 6:30, showered, devo'd and ate, then headed out with Danny to get to work. Wasn't much left to do, so we worked a bit in the kitchen, then Danny, Coley and I went to momma's for orange cranberry muffins and hot chocolate (quite good, quite good). Anyways, long day with Clubhouse and all. The Mowrer brothers' dad was a little late, so I stayed after with them and threw some football.
Basically, I was up at 6:30 and worked until 6:30 (with a lunch). After clubhouse was dinner, then I went to my place and read some more Prince Caspian, which drained me the little extra bit I needed, and went to bed at 9! Oh yeah, nice and really early. But I slept Really well. Bronwyn called me at 9something (30ish?) and I didn't even here my phone in the slightest.
As for now, I'm doing my laundry (finally!) and watching Mythbusters on Discovery Channel. Surprisingly, though, doing laundry is actually kind of nice. Same for folding it. It's just kind of a good time when I get to chill and do something nice and repetitive and organizing.
I'm doing a little better on the health front. I've still got my throaty stuff, but I've done it before. The upside is that all it is is the throat phlegm, and not something worse. I had like half a Hall's this morning, but that pectin isn't as happy as it used to be... I don't have any Airborne or tea (nor would I drink tea), so those are out. I think the thing is, I need a family in order to stay healthy. I don't get sick often enough to warrant purchasing medicine on my own. I would have it for the one time I got sick, then it would be useless.
My laundry load is finished, so I'm going to go rotate it. Thanks for the Hitchman comments, I always enjoy comments :). Enjoy your weekends, kids.

Ailing
Of all the times to get sick. Blast it all!
Just this afternoon I've been feeling a bit of something coming up in my throat, and it's a feeling I've feeled before. I may have to go hit me up some Hall's fruit breezers tomorrow (pectin OD to the rescue!) to soothe this silliness. My current self prescription thus far is plenty of water, pectin and no running (I want to try and keep from exerting myself much). Any other suggestions? It's mostly a bit of a throat scratch or something of that sort. Maybe it's nothing and my gullet is just recovering from the New Rugged Cross and resthome last night. That would be nice.
That's the update as it stands for now.

The Lady Of The Lake
So my camera phone is coming in as handy as I was hoping it would. When you're out and about and don't bring a camera, it's always good to know you have one in your pocket!
Here we have everyone's favorite middle Hitchman at our schnappy dinner last Saturday (favorite little Hitchman below). At first I was really excited about it, but then P.F.Chang's couldn't seat all 11 of us! They had some lame homecoming group or something (I'm pretty sure on the phone they said prom...), so we switched it up and got an easy reservation at Buca di Beppo's. However, BdB's turned out extraordinarily good. PFC's was the utmost of schnappy atmosphere, but the food isn't really That great. I was pleasantly surprised at BdB's with their excellent service, wonderful food and our appropriate attire (I looked like some kind of mob boss in my striped suit). It was a much friendlier, upbeat atmosphere as well which helped ease my grumpery at not going to PFC's.
Anyways, that's the story from Saturday (or most of it). All that was left was some pumpkin carving as follows:
Moi- Winter theme pumpkin
Bruce- Spring theme pumpkin
Peter- Summer theme pumpkin
Lyd- Fall theme pumpkin
Mel- Homestar Runner outline
Chris- Strongbad head...kinda
Russ- Trogdor outline
Wink- UofW 'W'
Brianna- A goofy face thing
Jason- R.I.P. (chopped to death)
Jenny- Baked pumpkin seeds

Walk
The second of a few pictures from our schnappy dinner night on Saturday. This is me taking shots behind me without looking as we were walking out. Quite fun. I like the motion blur effect that was achieved while we were walking.

How's about a little update action? I think I'm going to try to post every couple of days, if just to stave off some boredom.
This week almost all the full-time staff are on a retreat through Wednesday (only Chris Bova stayed), so my schedule this week is a wee bit crazy. I've got works and breaks and all manner of lunacy. I open (which I enjoy) every day at 6:30 (get up at 5:45), break for an hour or so at 9, do a van run close to 11, break for lunch, then accomodations and clubhouse. I do lots of driving, which is kind of fun.
Oh dear! My bank just called (the conveniently placed Bellevue branch) and my debit card is in, so I shall have to bid you adieu for now. I'll continue this later...
(And it had such a good title!)

A Beautiful Letdown
I don't have much to say, or much time to say it.
Basically, no David Crowder concert for me last night :(. I guess it was sold-out by the time Fugee's whoever got to buying the tickets (L- pet peeve?) and on top of it, they apparently changed venues to some church in Mill Creek of all places...
So instead, I went to Bellevue Square with Satchmo, Pookie and Danny (it was Satchmo's birthday). P, D and I got Panda Express while Satch did some perusing of stores. After we were done eating we went over to Helly Hansen (one of the kids' dads apparently works at HH corporate or something and dropped off coupons for 25% off your whole purchase). Satch got a fleece for himself, and one for his brother, and I got one for myself. Satch ended up getting the same one as mine for his brother (plus a size). I justified the expense by saying it's just a little more I would've payed for David Crowder. $19 for a solo ticket, ~$20 for a t-shirt, a few bucks for gas, and maybe some other souvenir and some food. Plus, Mindy made junior mint brownies for Satch's birthday and served with ice cream at her place when we were watching Lost on ABC.
That's about all for me, I need to finish my pop-tarts and get to work.
Be cool, stay in school, and don't get more sick.

The Phantom Of The Opera Is Here...
"...Inside my mind."
My instinal defect was as short lived as was hoped. The worst of it was Saturday (which was my busiest day of work- no good), then after a full night's rest, I was feeling considerably better Sunday morning. It turned out I only had to work Sunday breakfast and lunch, but not dinner! So I got to go have fun with the famous foursome (Mel, Lyd, Jason and I) watching Equilibrium (under Jenny's suggestion, though I'd already seen it) and eating my wonderful cookies (no names named... :D). Too bad I didn't have any white chocolate chips to put in my cookies, or they would've been the toppest of notches (and surprisingly so).
Today work was a slow start, but that's life. I at least get more rest each night to recover from this mad weekend (getting up at 8 instead of 7). All I ate Saturday dinner through lunch today was basically toast with toast for snack except for some chicken noodle soup Sunday lunch and a corndog at lunch today. Tonight we made cornbread- and bacon-stuffed porkchops for dinner with some herb & butter rice (-a-roni), a little salad with baby spinach for greens and french silk pie (kudos to the Tamm's for buying it) for dessert. It was quite the respite from all this toast I had to actually try and take care of myself (what with being all on me onesies).
Ah yes, as for those two letters I was going to send out, I only had time for one (so the other person is quite out of luck). However, I now have two more articles to post and shall be quite happy to get them on their way as their time comes. But enough of all that, it's time for sleepy. I even brought in the only blanket I hadn't yet from my car, a nice old afghan to try and keep me warm at night (L- your help is unspeakably immense).
For now, au revoir, and don't let ze bed bugs bite.
Ah yes, and everyone pray for Short-stack.

Tonight we made cornbread- and bacon-stuffed porkchops for dinner with some herb & butter rice (-a-roni), a little salad with baby spinach for greens and french silk pie (kudos to the Tamm's for buying it) for dessert. It was quite the respite from all this toast I had to actually try and take care of myself (what with being all on me onesies).
Ah yes, as for those two letters I was going to send out, I only had time for one (so the other person is quite out of luck). However, I now have two more articles to post and shall be quite happy to get them on their way as their time comes. But enough of all that, it's time for sleepy. I even brought in the only blanket I hadn't yet from my car, a nice old afghan to try and keep me warm at night (L- your help is unspeakably immense).
For now, au revoir, and don't let ze bed bugs bite.
Ah yes, and everyone pray for Short-stack.

Les Misérables
Mmmmmmmk. So today was The longest day ever. I suppose it's payment due for the last week, even for when I worked yesterday. Yesterday was a great day at work, I was blasting music, dancing and singing and goin all over the place. I even got done at 8:20 (that's fast)!
After work yesterday, I go say hi to some friends, come back and go to bed. 4am rolls around and I awoke to the most unpleasant of conditions. I go to the bathroom. I come back, try to get back to sleep, then go to the bathroom again. After the second round, I decide to load up my Nalgene and drink some water, which actually helped and I was able to get to sleep. Then came the longest day ever. I worked from 7:30am-9pm, with an upset stomach, diarrhea, and a group of ~150 at lunch and only an hour and a half break from 3-4:30. Not fun. I think my title pretty well sums it up (though I have no idea what the play is about). Erica was kind enough to help me out with dishes, and when she left she instructed me to just leave when the dishes were finished (there were lots).
I had two pieces of toast for dinner, and I'll most likely have toast again for breakfast.
I want this weekend to be over...
On the upside, the kids come home next weekend (hooray!), and although diarrhea sucks (ironic?), it at least only lasts a couple of days (in theory). Hopefully I'll get better soon, because it doesn't get easier from here on out. No break after tomorrow, just straight back into the usual swing of things.
Hope everyone else is doing better off than I am. Speaking of, I heard the Tamm car returned home? Eh?
