My Head Hurt

Well it did this weekend when my head cold was in full effect. I'm feeling a bit better today and yesterday so I guess it's starting to clear up. In any case, this panel I finished up yesterday seemed apropos. Big ups to my prescription Tylenol/Sudafed cocktail and copious amounts of NyQuil. Love that big effing "Q" (go listen to Dennis Leary's seminal "No Cure for Cancer" album).

D and I did more wedding related stuff this weekend, including a consultatio with our chef for the reception who was awesome and seemed generally excited when I mentioned the concept of chocolate covered bacon to him. That food won't be at the wedding, but bacon will be involved believe you me We also went to a cake tasting, which after the disappointment last week was awesome. The cake was rich, thick and decadent. This was wedding cake and when the quote came in at 1/2 the first place we were pretty much in love. Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and almond pound cake with chocolate ganache and a layer of raspberry filling in between the two cake layers. Hell's yes.

We also got to see our friends (and my best man) Andy and Sandy and lovely "nephew" Sachin the Tank. It was awesome to hang out with them even if the Chinese food we had for lunch was nasty and the American Idol karaoke singing was painful. Much love to Sandy who reads my blog every day:)

I Give Up

Okay, I'm giving in on the sickness thing. I'm off to see the doctor (or rather a nurse's practitioner in my doctor's office) to verify what I already know - I have a sinus infection and need some drugs. Time to hand over some hard earner dollars to get a prescription (which I'll hand over more hard earned dollars to get filled), just so I can feel not so cranky.

An almost complete panel of David from "Dead Inspector" as your daily serving of sketch.

On a brighter note, D and I are off to Sugar Bakers tonight for a complimentary cake tasting for the wedding. Should be good fun, I love free cake!

I Hate Being Sick

So... my body finally gave in to the lack of sleep and D's sinus infection/death cough. Yesterday I felt the tell-tale tickle in the back of the throat that signifies the body's throwing the towel in. This morning I felt like I wanted to scrub the inside of my throat with one of those beaker cleaning scrubs. But the feeling crappy isn't really the worst part, it's the lack of any reprieve otherwise in life. It's not like when you were a kid and you got sick days from school. Sure some people take sick days, but it's pretty hard to justify it when you work from home and you're not risking getting anyone else sick. It's just a normal day plus feeling crappy. Wah...

Here's David from "Dead Inspector" looking all paranoid. He might even have good reason to...
