I was so sick that I ended up going to the Urgent Care Center on Thursday, where I was diagnosed with a very bad sinus infection and given an antiobiotic and a cough syrup to help me sleep at night. Yesterday, after ONE DOSE of the antibiotic (and a good night’s sleep), I was feeling 75% better. I actually got up, got ready, and ran some errands!
The night before I was looking on Craigslist for jobs and came across an ad for a legal assistant for next week only. If anything, I could use the extra money, even if it isn’t an ongoing job. Anyway, I submitted my resume and got a call back! I will be working Monday and Tuesday full time to help a local law firm get caught up while one of their adminstrative assistants is on vacation. I spoke with the head attorney about possibly getting a more regular job and he said it is very possible. So, please keep your fingers crossed that I dazzle this guy and he’ll want me to stay on!
Since I’ve been feeling better since yesterday, I’ve gone crazy with cleaning. The apartment got so bad that I just buckled down and did some of the really necessary cleaning – like the bathrooms. I even washed the shower liner! On the agenda for today is laundry (I feel like I’m always doing laundry), finishing up cleaning, dusting, and then who knows what. I’m hoping that Tom and I can go somewhere to use our camera (like the botanical gardens or something). It’d be a neat date idea, too.
It has really warmed up the past couple days, and it feels SO GOOD. Seriously, I love being able to have the windows open and enjoy the warmth. It got a little too warm yesterday, but once I turned the fans on in the apartment it was much better. Since it warmed up, I decided to get out my ice cream attachment for the mixer. I just made vanilla ice cream using a recipe that came with the attachment, since I’ve never done it before. It’s actually really easy! I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Other than the two days of work, I don’t have any plans for spring break. I’m going to probably need to go home to do some wedding stuff. I’m going to use the time to get ahead in my classes and take care of some impending assignments, and one of my goals is to do some work on this site. I want to incorporate more weekly articles that you can expect on the same day every week. What would you like to see more of on this web site? Be honest, I’d like your ideas!
I need to get out of this room … Remy is stinking it up with his farts!

I’m glad you’re feeling better. Man, there’s nothing worse than being sick and trying to get things done. Ugh
I’ve never worked at a law firm before but I can imagine it being fun? I don’t know, that’s just me. I really hope you like and it hope even more that they decide to keep you on. That would look awesome on your resume.

So glad you are feeling better! I am getting over a nasty sinus infection right now and wish I could say I felt 75% better, but they won’t give me any strong antibiotics for mine since I’m breastfeeding..
Enjoy the nice weather!!

I’m sorry you are so sick, but glad that antibiotics are here to save the day! Make sure you take ALL of them, even if you start feeling better.
The Botanical Gardens date sounds lovely – take and post pictures for us?

Somehow your short, simple description of the weather being warmer now made me think how that didn’t sound too bad – but actually I HATE that it’s getting warmer already. We never even had winter over here. I wish we would have three straight weeks of snow, and then – maybe! – I’d think it okay for summer to start bothering us already. :P I’m not necessarily a fan of the warmer half of the year. Can you tell?
As you know from Twitter, I hear you about the cleaning. ;) Since I live by myself and in this teeny, tiny place, it always seems as though I’m putting laundry away just to have room to do a new round of laundry. Something’s not right here. Heh.
Can’t wait to hear (see??) how the ice cream turned out!

Bobbi, my love, your site eats my comments. I comment on things, they’re high quality comments, and then the next time I check your site…no comment. Why?

I believe I have a sinus infection right now but I’m not sure yet. Have to make that dr. appointment! I hate cleaning – not the act of it actually but the fact that there is always something to do!

This weather was pretty warm recently, no? It’s been beautiful coming out of work but a little on the warm side. I wish I had your enthusiasm for cleaning!
