This weekend sucks.

So, first off, my nasty cold may be turning into pneumonia. I'd be more sure if the physician's assistant I saw yesterday had done more than check my breathing and order so X-rays. She thought there was something on the X-rays, but I'm going to call tomorrow to see what the radiologist thinks. I suspect the cold is turning in pneumonia and it was caught early, but I'd like to be sure.

I went in to get checked, because my dad was worried I was going to get worse, even mentioning that I could get pneumonia. When he suggested it, I thought he was just being his usual paranoid self. After all, I've had tons of upper respiratory infections that were never more than that. But, a couple days later, my "cold" was getting worse (after ~5 days of being sick) and not following the usual pattern. So I spent all afternoon at the walk-in clinic to have it checked. Just in case. It's an OCD thing, I guess. You put the idea of a disease in my head, and it makes me nervous.

I'm not too bad, actually. I mean, I keep having bouts of coughing and my chest aches from it. I've got congestion and an on-again, off-again mild fever. And I'm tired and achy, with no appetite. But nothing worse than that. I've spent today reading, watching TV and goofing off on the computer. I did have to walk the dog, so he could do his business, which kinda sucked. It was a short walk and I did much of it with my eyes closed. Effort makes me sleepy right now.

And I banged up my car. :( I've had this car for about a year now, got it from my mom. Hadn't put a scratch on it. Then, backing up in a parking lot, it turned out there was one of those cement posts where I couldn't see it. Took out my tail light and cracked my bumper. I guess tomorrow I call my insurance company. Blah.

It hasn't been all bad. I saw WALL*E on Friday evening. It was much fun and very cute. And last night, instead of our usual Werewolf game, we had more of a social meeting type thing. We went around, gave the ST staff our feedback for the year, shared some of our favorite moments, that kind of thing. It was fun.

Oh, and for beloitst's info, I did ask the ST if our new pack could have Xena as her totem. He didn't cry, but there was a pained look and a threat to have me docked XP for my sacrilege. Somehow, this conversation degenerated and then someone was joking about how "Our totem hates us. But she's kinda hot." Which would actually fit one of the game's pack perfectly.

And after sharing that the people I'd stayed with in Boston were the same ones a certain Rio Rancho player had annoyed, I was deluged with requests of "Hook us up. So we can plot the character's death." beloitst, cangelo, if you're interested, let me know.
