Today kind of sucks so far.

First off, I have a cold. Yeah, I know, big whoop. It's not really that big a deal, except for the usual crapiness that goes along with a cold: sapped energy, phlegm coughing, nose blowing. (And note, nose blowing is much more gross when you have facial hair as you feel it in your moustache. Blegh.) Anyway, it's just a cold, there it is.

And then, at work, it's one of THOSE days. You know, the type of day where your bread and butter WEB system goes down and knocks everyone out of the water for an hour, resulting in umpteen million phone calls. We're "back up" now, but not really, and I'm just trying not to cough in anyone's ear when they call.

Yesterday was much better. It involved a massive birthday dinner. It was my friend Laura's birthday and to celebrate she had people over her folks house for dinner. There was stuffed shells and beef tnderloin and ceaser salad, and cheesecake, and bon bons, and many different types of booze (beer, wine, and ice wine for me). And there was a pinata. It was pretty awesome watching folks largely in their late 20s/early 30s trying to bash a paper mache pirate for candy and small nips of booze.

Even with the resultant food coma, yesterday was much better than today.
