Bleugh

I tried fighting it with Cold and Flu tablets and Strepsils and Tom Yum soup and sleep and fluids but all to no avail. I am sick in bed with the snottiest, sinus-iest headcold known to humanity (okay, slight exaggeration, but I FEEL LIKE SHIT!)

I've called in sick to work which I'm kind bummed about because 1. I need the money, 2. it's an evening shift, so pays more while being more interesting 3. I feel bad leaving workmates in the lurch and it's no fun being home sick in bed and 4. I need the money ("I need the money" is also reasons 5, 7 and 8) (There is no reason number 6)

So instead I'm going to organize what wedding stuff I can with my trusty laptop and phone.

THINGS TO INVESTIGATE:

1. Agonise over guest list again: It can't be a very big wedding because we don't have the space nor the budget, BUT we both come from big families- therefore our friends list has to be smaller than we'd like ideally :-( I don't think I can squeeze anyone else on the list- but I'm still going to look it over and try!

2. Try to google the florist from [livejournal.com profile] jpom40's wedding= cos she was lovely.

3. Try to google the invite people [livejournal.com profile] _audhumla_ used (yep, stealing everyone elses' ideas- that's why it's good to get married in the middle of the wedding trend!)

4. Check out the Myers' gift registry as I'd prefer to give family in particular some directions and NOT end up with 7 toasters. (Any family reading this- you don't HAVE to use the registry, and if you do, you don't HAVE to get the thing from Myers. I am just thinking Myers because everyone has one near them and Myers will have everything we'd want on the list- you can always take a squiz at the list for ideas and then buy something similar elsewhere!)

5. Speak to guy at place we're thinking of having reception (have left message on his phone)

6. See if I can book our preferred caterers

At some point must make it out of bed and down to the kitchen to seek sustenance. [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo very nicely brought me toast and hot milo in bed before he left for work (as well as the cold tablets, tissues and laptop- I have a lovely fiance!) but that was several hours ago now and I may need something else before he comes back after 6pm... Wish I could train the cats to make soup...

But before all this I think another nap... nighty night.

So far today I have:

-Slept in
-Completed several online tests for Staffing.com.au and emailed my consultant there to let her know they're done
-Emailed my consultant at Dixon again to ask if there is anything going (will call him later)
-Organised with [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo what we're doing for dinner
-Chatted to [livejournal.com profile] fin

I still feel bleugh, but it has improved from yesterday. In a minute I will put on clothes and gently toddle to the supermarket for dinner supplies and juice. When I get back I'm going to call a woman about a job I saw advertised in the newspaper that I WAAAAAANT a lot. Then I will spend the afternoon tweaking my resume, responding to Selection Criteria and hoping, hoping, hoping. It figures I decide on temping and then a really cool permanent job catches my eye. Ah well, I don't really think I'd get it. But I'm sure as hell going to try for it!

I will also cook dinner and try to make the kitchen look a little better than it does right now...

I'm itching for gym, but doubt it would be clever. Sigh. Ah well, I'll aim for Wednsday, [livejournal.com profile] vivienne_aster? You with me?

Today I slept in bed all morning, then on the couch all afternoon. I have spent the whole day feeling hungover, and I had nothing to drink last night. It feels like someone has tied a rubber band around my forehead.

Bleugh.

[livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo has been very sweet about providing tea and pills and patience (and cuddles). Right now he is making dinner, pasta with a crapload of garlic. Yum.

Must stay awake until dinner.
