I feel like hammered shit. I woke up this morning with my nose being all stuffy and a nasty sore throat. Rob and I originally had plans to go to the aquarium, but I felt like too much crap. So, I slept in and when we finally got up we couldn't figure out what to do. I wasn't up for a lot of movement because by this time my whole body ached and I was dizzy so we settled on going to the SoupPlantation in Porter Ranch.

When sick, SoupPlantation is an excellent idea. I had a salad and three cups of chicken noodle soup (and an apple for desert). The chicken soup tasted absolutely amazing. While most people were trying to dredge up the noodles and chicken pieces I was going for the broth. It's wonderful sick food. After dinner we stopped at Starbucks and I got some tea. We then drove around the mall to see what else was there, but everything was closed. Neither of us wanted to head straight home just yet so we decided to drive around and go where the mood took us.

We drove down Tampa and stopped at the Border's in Northridge. They didn't have the CD I was looking for so we headed out. When we were driving down Ventura we stopped in a drug store to get some cold meds, but they didn't have everything I was looking for. We then stopped at the Border's in Sherman Oaks and they did have what I was looking for. I picked up two CDs. One is the new one by Sarah Brightman. The other is the soundtrack to the movie version of Phantom of the Opera. Rob got a few boxes of Aberrations D&D minis. We then headed to the drug store in Burbank to get the other cold meds I needed and made a pit stop at the grocery store for some chicken broth and Gatorade. I'm set for what I need when I'm sick. I really hope I get over this cold soon and that it doesn't migrate to my lungs. The last thing I need is to be under the weather when I have to take a stress test. Bleh.

Right now I'm wide awake (hence being up and online), but feel like ass. I'm super cold and just can't seem to get warm no matter how hot it is or how much I bundle up. I'm dizzy. My entire body hurts. I'm running a fever. My nose is stuffed up. I'm coughing. I have a sore throat. And I can barely walk. But at least I have Rob to take care of me and a hot thermos of chicken broth sitting next to me.

I agree with Pita, 2005 is sucking so far. Grumble.
