From: Tavie
Subject: Getting you up to speed
So you're not surprised when you get home:
1. I called in sick today, not having slept, and am coughing and sinus-y and all the fun stuff. I didn't want to, I would have gone in if I'd gotten any sleep, but I just can't do it with no sleep.
2. I slept for about an hour and then woke to go to the bathroom and take some Tylenol Cough & Cold (PM). That's when I noticed all of the chewed-up foil on the ground. Puppy had gotten into the bag of Hershey's kisses left on the coffee table. He vomited chocolate all over the house.
3. I called Gina, who came home. While we waited for her I put Oxyclean on the carpet and left paper towels on the spots but they'll have to be scrubbed at later with water. I don't have the energy to do it right now, the cats aren't poking at the towels so I think it's okay.
4. Gina arrived and we took him to the vet. He's fine, they gave him charcoal and we have to give him pills for a couple of days. He's still vomiting a little clear stuff now and then. Puppy Mama gets home Monday.
5. I may finally get some sleep now. Bad luck taking the Tylenol PM right before all the drama happened. Sigh. Cough.

I had Tuesday off and K. and I went to the Museum of Natural History. I'm proud of myself, I made it out even though I had an awful sore throat. The power of love compelled me. And I made it into work the next day and the day after that despite the lingering chest cold. I am a germy superpower of awesomeness.
I have pictures from the museum which I'll upload if I ever get off my ass.

Today I had scheduled a day off to spend with my sis. I woke up with a sore throat and so it took us awhile to get out, but we finally made it out of the apartment, and had some adventures in the city (including Chinatown, the Museum of Natural History, various stores*, and a slice of pizza literally bigger than Kirsten's head.)
Natural History museum was brilliant - I hadn't been in a couple years and I finally got to see the "new" (it's been around for a few years) planetarium. Shows were sold out but it's a gorgeous space. I couldn't stop wondering... what if all the stars... were suns? (Hee hee hee.)
I am thoroughly exhausted and I hope that work doesn't kill me tomorrow, because if this cold goes the way all my other colds go, I will be in full-blown stuffed-up coughing misery mode.
I love spending time with Kirsten, though. I wish I had more time with her.
*Sephora has a body lotion that smells like coffee. I have been waiting for this product my entire life. And yes, I can actually smell it - my sense of smell is terrible, but I can almost always smell coffee.

Merry Christmas!!!
Here's a holiday song by my friend Jordan.
Last night was vodka-tasting, beef in Bloody Mary sauce, chocolate martinis, perogis. Today the Russian theme continued with champagne, caviar and blinis; tonight will be stroganoff, red cabbage and Charlotte Russe.
May I never eat again after all this.
Santa was way kinder to me than he should have been. I even got that dress I've been coveting. It looks nice.
More later.

The first batch of Christmas photos is up - I'll add more later. Last night, Tante Joan, Kirsten and I drove around the old neighbourhood in Brooklyn and looked at the crazy lights put up by those rich Eye-Talians.
It's a bit much, isn't it?
