Yes, really, that sums up most of what I've been doing since the last update. Not sure there isn't a body system that wasn't affected, but thank god there was no chucking of the up. I go to great lengths to avoid putting myself in situations where that might occur, because to me, that's one of the worst feelings in the world.

Of course, I was also being stubborn, which probably prolonged the general coughing sneezing sniffling aching stuffy head fever crap for the duration it did - but for good reason! Saturday, Hyoun and I went out to Western Mass to my friend Scott's barbecue. Hadn't seen him in over a year - the last time was at Ben and Emily's wedding, pretty much right before Hyoun and I started dating. Good to see him and catch up.

And then yesterday, we went to hear Wil Wheaton do a reading at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. He's funny and personable; his onstage personality comes across as a bit more brash and loud than his one-on-one interactions. At one point, he stated, "All actors want to be rock stars," and of course I shouted out, "Play Guitar Hero!" and that got him started on an aside about being at a bar in Boston last night and hearing "More Than A Feeling" played, and in his head, going, "Green, Green Green, Red Red, Yellow, Yellow Yellow, Red Red ..." and then also being an utter geek: "Dude! I'm listening to Boston! In Boston!"

(Also, his wife left his camera in the cab. So he wants a new digital camera for his birthday in three weeks.)

Since Hyoun has Monday off, we were thinking about getting out of town, but I'm still a little on the weak and wobbly side, this being the first morning I've woken up without a fever since Wednesday. Plus, we have an invitation to a POOL PARTY tomorrow, and as a California girl who hasn't been swimming in an outdoor pool in years, this has me very excited. (Outdoor pools that dont cost $$$ and/or have little kids peeing in them and/or are dedicated entirely to lap swimmers are insanely hard to find in New England.) However, since my swimsuit top decided to snap on a kayaking trip last summer, I need to go buy a swimsuit. So we're gonna hit the mall, I'm going to hope like hell I can find some UltraSwim, because my hair is the longest it's been in years, and I plan to stay in that pool until I wrinkle like raisins. After that, we're probably going to go see Superman at the IMAX, then dinner at Oga's since we're out that far already. :)
