Tonight is our last night here in sunny Florida, unless by some stroke of whatever we end up being unable to leave tomorrow evening. It's kind of sad. I mean, I'm excited to get home and sleep in my own bed and of course kiss the cats on the mouth (because, really, what IS Daedalus doing right now?) but I'm not in the least bit excited to go to work on Monday. IIRC, I'm working straight through on Monday (no lunch) and I know I have an appointment at 5:30 to get a Hep B shot (thankfully my last in the damned series). Long. Day.

We had another morning of floating in the pool, which I think is quite a lovely way to spend a weekday morning. Someday we need to swing a pool, even a 4' one, so I can get up in the morning and float or something. Although the pool has dried out my face something fierce. We did little today - the pool, some lounging, then out to dinner with the in-laws. We might catch a movie later tonight. I ixnayed Fantastic Four which is probably losing me cool points with my FIL but I am already totally over it. (No more comic book movies for me, thanks.)

While at dinner tonight, Jen's mom waited for her to get up from the table and then started asking me uncomfortable questions like whether or not Jen had gained weight. Gosh, I never know what to do in those situations, because my instinct is to make some smartass remark and really defend the hell out of her, but hey, it's my MIL and I don't want her to hate me, either. *sigh* So basically I tried not to take the bait, talked about how our concern is more about health than weight, and I delivered the CONVERSATION KILLER (I'm getting good at this) by telling her that I thought she was just the prettiest thing I'd ever seen.

Things I have done a lot of during this vacation: 1) eat ice cream, 2) wear tank tops, 3) float in pools, 4) cough. (I still can't shake this fecking cold. allergies. callergies. Whatever!)

Things I did not get to do that I wanted to: 1) drive up to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens, 2) go to the pirate museum in Key West, 3) spend a day at the beach, 4) snorkel, 5) make beaucoup lovin'.

When we get back from vacation, I'm going to persue that UMass job. And when I go to Columbus in October for Coworker Sarah's wedding, I'm going to persue that ODJFS job. Options. I like options. So I'm going to play all the angles. Damn it, we will have a house and a pregnancy SOMEWHERE by Christmas 2006 or I will seriously go batty. (More batty than I am now, I mean.)

Okay, I'd better get the laundry started, yo! Peace.

You have the worst luck with colds! I want to send you my bottle of Vitamin C, it has 500 tablets in it. :P

Did you know there have been a couple of studies recently that currently claim that supplements like vitamin C and echinacea have no benefits when fighting illness, and may (when overused) make them worse? Just something to think about.

I actually don't get sick all that often, but I /do/ seem to get a little sick when I slow down and relax. Mind, I'm not /feeling/ sick, and I haven't cut my activity level at all, I just have a tickle and a cough. So I'm not terribly concerned or bothered.

And I was in an airplane, aka "germ factory," for three hours last week. Yuck.

I heard about the echincacea...but not Vit C. When did they say that?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I dunno... I heard it right around when I heard about the echinacea. Although it could have more to do with how people totally overdo it with the C. *shrug*

I actually didn't know that...but then, I grew up with a grandmother who likes to use herbal remedies for pretty much everything.

I know what you mean about germ farms...I'm working back in a daycare. I actually had to leave one daycare a few years ago, because every week I was sick with something different...strep, bronchitis, pink eye, stomach flu, it just didn't ever stop. That was right after I found out about the diabetes, so I kind of freaked about taking better care of myself.

I'm glad you finally had a vacation, it sounds like you had a great time. :)

I work in early intervention (kids under 3) and run a playgroup for 2-year-olds in a preschool, so I definitely come into contact with a whooooooole lotta germs. :) I've never had pink eye, chicken pox, hand-foot-mouth, or any of the other goodies, so I consider myself pretty darned lucky. (This year I've also been exposed to scarlet fever and whooping cough.)
