Sick sick sick...
Thursday April 17, 2008

Last weekend it was my Dad’s 60th birthday. We bought him a digital camera, since it’s been something like 7 years since he bought his old one. Lol. We ended up getting him a Canon IXUS 70. Not the newest model out there, but it comes with rave reviews from friends =)

My Dad’s birthday was pretty fun overall. They hiredthe “community hall” (seats around 30) in the complex that they now live at, and we BBQd and ate much food! My sister catered most of it. She made these fantastic salads, duck rice paper rolls and she prepped the meat (chicken skewers, tandoori lamb chops, steak) as well. Mmm… yum. I provided a cheese platter. It doesn’t seem like much in comparison, but I was so dead on the Saturday that I didn’t have any energy to help them out. I think I made up for it though by going and buying the camera.

This week I’m sick though. I feel so rotten. It’s just the flu, but the Cold & Flu tablets that I’m taking just aren’t working, and the only thing that seems to help is boiling myself to death in bed, with the electric blanket on. Sigh.

What makes it worse is that this is a really big week at work. There are two major projects that I’m a part of running at the same time, and they both have these immovable and impossible deadlines. The other developer on the team is getting really stressed out by what she’s doing, and I feel really guilty being sick and not being able to work as hard as normal.

I hope I get better soon…

Anyway, I must be off. The files I’ve been copying off the server at work are finally done and copied (gee… it only took 10 minutes). Take care!!
