The previous post (scroll down) is the long promised picture of my glasses. I don't like my glasses because they make me look older and manlier. ("But you are old," says EB).
But such is life.
I spent Thanksgiving with AM and Ian. We ate Popeye's and delish apple dumplings. Had a dance party and watched Kicking and Screaming (not the Will Ferrell movie. A much better movie.) and Be Kind Rewind.
Then to work at 6am today where it was D-E-A-D. I bet we will be busy on Saturday and Sunday.
Saw Precious with AA last week. Such a great movie. Very disturbing. But funny, inspiring, and good performances by just about every person including Mariah Carey.

Wherein Bry continues to be sick.
Day three of sinus infection. I am bored to death. And I can't concentrate on much. I fall asleep after reading a few pages. I have been watching lots of junky movies.
I am going back to work tomorrow no matter how crappy I feel because I am not going to survive being a shut-in.
I am trying to decide what to do for Thanksgiving. I have been invited to a few places but I am uncomfortable at those dinners. So should I just stay home and watch TV and eat pie?
Really, I just want to be at home with my mammer and my dog. And Bill, too!
I did get my new glasses. I don't like them. They make me look older. I will take a picture when my face isn't red and puffy from being sick. Maybe the problem is that I have been sick ever since I got them so I have not done my hair or face like I normally do. So we shall see how it goes tomorrow.

Wherein Bry is sick.
I am possessed by the devil's mucus. What a pleasant thought to share. But it is true. I have had so many of these sinus infections that I can tell a day in advance that I will be sick. Luckily I have some Sudafed and Mucinex left over from a previous incident and am home-medicating myself. If it is not better by Friday I will go to the doctor.
Of course now that I am ill, I can sleep all day. If only I had the power to fall asleep so quickly on a normal, healthy day.
I planned to make chicken noodle soup again today because the last batch was so yummy. And I did make it but it took all day because I slept while the broth was boiling and then I put it in the fridge to take another nap. And I used store bought noodles so I was very disappointed. But it tasted okay. At least I think it did. I can't really taste anything.
I really hope I feel even a smidge better by Friday so I can go to work.
Well, back to napping. Oh wait. It is 10pm. Nighty night.

Wherein Bry hates November.
November is probably my least favorite month, and that counts August when it is so hot I want to die.
It is probably the drastic change in weather - the abrupt temperature drop - and the time switch. Plus, November is the start of the big holiday season.
All of these factors lead to a general feeling of depression and fatigue. This is the month I always feel the worst about myself and the most vulnerable. Which means I up my snark factor by a billion to compensate.
After a few weeks, I usually pop out of it. By December things are generally back to normal. In the mean time, I have to muster my strength and power through this hot mess of a month.
Luckily, RF is in town for a long weekend and he is like a dose of the best medicines money can buy. I miss having him around to hang with and to tease. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since we met.
Speaking of 10 years, I cannot believe that I have been living in Oregon for this long. I have almost been living here as long as any other state I have lived in. But Montana is still my favorite and my home.
I had an eye exam last week and ordered new glasses. They should be in the end of this week. I am a little nervous about the return to metal frames after 10(!) years of hipster plastic frames. And I had to pick them out myself. I cannot see anything beyond a foot or so without my lenses. I have to sit on the floor with my face practically touching the mirror just to put my makeup on. So standing in a Dr's office looking in a mirror that is behind a low table, trying to get a clear look at my face, was awkward to say the least.
I will post a picture when I get them. Stay tuned!
