Chad Darnell's 12 of 12

Today's 12 of 12 will be dull, and not the normal dull of the modest 12 of 12er who insists that their day was boring and then ends up poaching an elephant while on safari with Hugh Jackman. I have some sort of flu-like malady which is manifesting itself in headaches, fevers, and muscle aches (but thankfully, no coughs or overabundance of phlegm).


4:43 AM: After lying in bed, sick and unable to sleep for several hours, I finally got up and took some ibuprofen.

4:48 AM: A temperature of 101.8 (38.8 for the Brits)

5:08 AM: I emailed in sick to work, and then attempted to sleep on the most comfortable couch in the world, which worked out much better than my bed.

6:55 AM: The couch was only comfortable for a couple hours before I was pushed out by its rightful owners.

9:36 AM: I woke up again just after Rebecca left for work, and decided to get a little food in my belly. Only Pepperidge Farm bagels were on the shelves during the last grocery run -- they aren't nearly as good as the Thomas brand. I had to squelch the tastelessness with additional cream cheese.

I spent the rest of the morning asleep, and have not yet mastered the art of sleep-photography, so here is a picture from yesterday of Booty reading Mark Twain.

1:23 PM: Off to CVS to purchase additional drugs.

2:08 PM: Lunch today consisted of chicken noodle soup and a shot of Dayquil. I prefer the chicken soup that DOESN'T have the real pieces of chicken in it, but unfortunately I didn't have any of that in the cupboard.

4:00 PM: After another nap and a bath, I passed my sick day with an old computer game.

5:32 PM: Scanning pictures of wedding cakes for Rebecca.

7:57 PM: Working on tomorrow's web site update.

9:37 PM: In search of symmetry, I end up back at the stove for a late night dinner of Totino's pizza topped with extra pepperoni!
