Art Theft and Returning to Work

This evening we had our monthly Dinner, Movie and Discussion (DMD) evening.  We had dinner together, watched a movie and then talked.  We have a pretty steady group that comes each month.  A mixture of my and my parents friends.  This month's movie was "The Thomas Crown Affair."  The recent one with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.  I love this movie and have seen it many times.  Although this is the first time that I noticed that her dress in the ball scene is completely see through!  :O  My favorite scene is the faceless businessman in a bowler hat at the museum.  It is clever, stylish and so well done.  Let us not forget how delicious Pierce Brosnan is. ;) 

I am going back to work tomorrow afternoon.  I am excited and hope that my energy level stays up for the whole evening.  This will be another step towards normalcy again.  Lets hope that my cough goes away soon, it makes it difficult to sleep.

Continuation of Attack of the Flying Pigs and Tales of Adventures in Wonderland

The saga of H1N1 continues.  I am mostly feeling better, with just a persistent cough, runny nose and zero energy.  Just in case anyone want to know, my mucus is neon green!  I think it is seriously cool, but no one else seems to agree.  I am down to two naps a day!  This is a significant improvement, even if it does not feel like one.  At least I am no longer contagious according to my doctor.  I am supposed to start work again tomorrow and I do not know how I am going to make it all eight hours.  :/  I never thought I would miss being able to go to work this much!  I have been going out of my mind with boredom.  And I miss socializing with people other than my parents. 

Today at work was the Alice in Wonderland tea party that I planned.  I was able to attend and it was so much fun!  Yesterday, I spent quite a bit of time making decorations, as I really needed something to occupy myself with.  Some of us dressed up like characters; I was Alice.  Here are some of the pictures:

Quote of the Day

"If you're going through hell, keep going..." - Winston Churchill

This seem rather appropriate to how I am feeling right now.  Well at least the Hell part.  Damn you H1N1!  >:(  I just wish there was this magical "Get Better" button you could push.  But then if it existed I doctors and nurses would not be necessary and I would not have a future career.  Hmmmmm.  Patience is a virtue, and one that I often do not have with myself.  And now some Adam Lambert to cheer myself up!

Attack of the flying pigs. >:(

Well hell.  I have the extreme dubious pleasure of having H1N1.  I feel like I have been run over by a mack truck.  Twice.  I am constantly cycling between sweating and being really freakin' cold!  And I am out of work for at least five days.  :/  I went to an urgent care clinic this morning and had the nasal swab test, which hurts btw!  The results were positive, and the NP said that I was the clinic's first confirmed case this season.  Oh joy.  Do I get a prize?  I always get so mad when I am sick.  It feels like my body is betraying me.  In addition, I have no idea by whom/where I was infected!  Grrrrrrrr.  >:(

Since I have basically nothing to do for the next five days, I need to come up with things to occupy myself with in between bouts of napping.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Apparently, according to the newspaper I am the first adult with a confirmed case in the county! WTF!!!!!!! I want a sticker or something.
