1. we're almost completely moved out of the old place. i was going to finish this weekend and today, but...

2. i got sick. i feel like a truck hit me. sore throat, fever, cough, congestion, the works. fun fun. and it especially sucks because i'm alone because...

3. emily is in duluth, mn. she passed her thesis defense with flying colors today, as i knew she would. and she called me and said she couldn't have done it without me. made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. she's coming back tomorrow afternoon. escaping the tundra. seriously, there was a blizzard while she was there. yuck.

4. i love hot chocolate.

5. both cats are keeping me company sleeping on the bed. they're sweet.

6. i have to turn my paper into a complete proposal draft due on jan 15. i also have another project for my second proposal that i'm working on and will have a meeting with my co-advisor raj sometime the week after christmas.

7. sara's coming for new year's! i'm so excited.

8. if i'm feeling better i'm going to austin this weekend for some family stuff and seeing erin and sara. if not, i might see my family sometime in january. or february. who knows.

9. i don't like being sick.

10. there is a facebook group of gay penguin equality. i love it. the description is awesome. "This wouldn't happen if gay penguins were allowed to adopt. Gay penguins steal eggs from straight couples..." hehehe.

so it turns out i have gotten sick. there seems to be a bug floating around the dept. blah. i'm hacking up a lung, i have a fever, and there's a lovely phlem thing going on. woo. i hate being sick. at least it happened this weekend, after all my midterms are over.

so kristen sent me this in a comment but i thought i'd go ahead and post it. if you type in heather needs into google, you get the first nine. if you put it in quotes, you get the last one:
1. Heather needs two therapists
2. Heather needs to access information ubiquitously
3. Heather needs a family who will commit to her one hundred percent
4. …Dad said that Heather needs to start wearing a brassiere…
5. Heather needs an acidic soil
6. Heather needs to stick to her career as a country artist
7. Heather needs an Ocicat fund
8. Heather needs at least two mommies
9. Heather needs to be kept moist
10. Heather needs a cape to tire her bull and prepare it for the kill

hehe. i think mine are the best. good fun.

so ut is kicking ass in football against colorado, though i had to hear it from my mom since stupid abc in arizona isn't showing the game. i'm so glad ut beat ou last week. astros won so the series is now 2-1. i don't think asu plays today, and sfa is playing at mcneese in lake charles, louisiana at 8pm.

i hope i feel better tomorrow. i need to get a bunch of website stuff done for my boss back in texas, ek, and i would really like to play football tomorrow evening.

saw sarah and blair today. that was fun. we hung out with teresa. lots of laughing, some at my expense. i think i'm delirious with the fever, which makes for a good time.

got paid yesterday. i might go buy myself some new shoes. that would be super.

okay, i think that's enough for now. i'm going to go back to laying on the bed staring blankly at the tv. such excitement.

summary: i'm sick, heather's needs are super, ut kicks ass, i love sports, lots to do, sarah and teresa are fun, money is good, time for bed. woo
