MMM...nanowrimo.
So I'm mostly over being sick now. it all started on October 6. I was having sinus trouble, that turned into a sinus infection, so I took some antibiotics I hoped I wasn't allergic to. Those gave me severe dizzyness and headaches (rendering me useless) so I stopped taking them and got a cold which turned into tonsilitis. I started on another antibiotic that we all hoped I wasn't allergic to, when about a week later I got hives.
So I basically missed two and a half weeks of work, making my october completely useless.
oh...Happy Halloween, everybody. This year I think I'll dress up like a respectable citizen instead of an apathetic fat girl.
I'm turning the apartment into quite the little greenhouse. I have the philodendron dad gave me. It's a plant, and everybody names their plants Robert, so I decided to name this one Face. Face Plant. Then Marty's mother gave us a fern palm, which i've named Harry. Harry Palm. Then I purchased an Ivy plant from target that was lookin' a little near death. I picked it up because i'm all about trying to save things that are obviously lost causes, and because it gave me an opportunity to use my haggling & intimidating skills. I love haggling at places where folks don't haggle. Wal-Mart? oh sure, it's like a god damned bazaar! You'll find mothers taking razor blades to the soles of the shoes her kid wants so that she can call them damaged and get a discount. There's poor college guys opening the packages of socks and removing 1 pair so that he can get the rest for $1.50. You see teenaged girls trying out makeup and then asking for a discount because it's used. You see a guy asking for a discount on condoms and getting it because the cashier sees his nine kids. But Target? It's supposed to be a Respectable Place, so if you can't afford it you don't buy it.
Fuck that.
So I got a five dollar plant for $1.50 and repotted it. The first two weeks yeilded no change on its condition, so I named the Ivy Ivan, which morphed into Ivan the Terrible.
Ivan's come around, so I guess he's not so terrible anymore.
Well, I gotta go to the bank and stuff. Hope you all have a good weekend.
