Seems everyone is coming down with something, has something already or just had something. I’ve been fighting off this stomach bug all weekend and it has been generally unpleasant. I very rarely get sick, and if I do my body fights it off like a champ and I’m back in action. So this bug has really got me. I managed to come down with this bug on the day of my 25th birthday. I didn’t end up going to work and missed going out for my birthday. I had been intending to abuse my liver but good, but this proved not to be the case. Felt better on Saturday, only to feel like crap again on Sunday, and subsequently today. Either way, life rolls on. Seems to be a rather auspicious start to my second quarter-century.

Anyhow, everyone has been terribly cool with helping me get going on this moving out bit. I almost have everything I might possibly need in the kitchen. I like to cook, but I think I’ll have to actually do some shopping to get some more food. I don’t yet have all the essentials, but it will come. I got for my birthday some frying pans, a roasting pan, a sports trivia game, a new watch, a long sleeved soccer shirt and a Brita water filtration system. I also got a bunch of money, which I subsequently spent on a set of cooking pans and other assorted apartment stuff. I’m pretty much set at my place. Feels pretty good, aside from the being sick bit. I had lots of company on the weekend, with people over for a pseudo-housewarming party on Saturday night, then Sunday with people dropping in all day pretty much. Now it’s back to my regular schedule as I have lots of freelance work to get back to now that I’m all set-up.
