Hanging on...

Been an interesting and exhausting last couple of weeks. I've been fighting off a quasi-stomach flu ... all the symptoms of the flu (upset stomach, low grade fever, headaches, nausea) but at a very low level. Bad enough to be noticeable but not bad enough to stay home from work over it. Not fun and the Boy has it too so I know its not just me.

The Rossiah visited us the other weekend and stayed a few days. He's once again courting (or being courted by) grad schools in the area. We played games and talked ferrets and future plans. I miss having him around. Will have to try to get to Carnival this year. With any luck, I'll get to see Jenea too.

I finally admitted defeat and bought myself a new snowboarding shell. My old one, while perfectly serviceable most of the time, does not have a snow skirt. I spend entirely too much time sliding down the mountain on my ass to not have a snow skirt. Every time we went boarding, I'd end up with snow down my back, making me soaking wet and frozen. So now I have a nifty new coat. I am still finding pockets in it. I got distracted by a previously undiscovered pocket this morning while trying to pay for my coffee... I put my hand in to where I thought my wallet was and there was nothing there. Took me a few seconds to figure out that there are like 3 pockets in that general area.
