Ugh.

December 17, 2007 at 1:37 am | In Life, Photography, Update, Work

I’m still sick. I felt better for a few days and now I am again at the brink of dying. Humans weren’t meant to live like this; I understand now why our ancestors died of infectious diseases so easily, at an early age. It was just too miserable to survive. In other news I’m in the middle of my 2 week shift on service at our downtown hospital. It’s been a joy to work during my last days on earth. Really.

In Death’s Grip

December 8, 2007 at 4:46 pm | In Life

iStock_000003621804XSmall.jpgI feel like my face is about to pop. After several days of malaise and general feverishness, I finally erupted in a storm of nasal congestion that has knocked me on my ass for the last 6 hours or so. I have yet to go more than about 5 hours without ingesting TheraFlu, and right now (sitting in Starbucks) the only thing keeping the mucus in my nose is will power. I had plans for getting all sorts of things done while here; I thought I’d start the tutorial DVD that came with my Photoshop CS3, I thought I might work on learning some Javascript (I’m only in the textbook reading phase at this point), and I had hoped to get some photography done. None of these happened. Instead I’ve been surfing on running websites, checking my email every 12 minutes, and trying not to get snot on my new laptop. I’d say considering the circumstances I’ve been pretty successful at these things; unfortunately none of them were on my agenda for the day.

Update

December 8, 2007 at 3:12 am | In Blogging, Life, Photography, Work

It’s been quite a while since my last post. The last time I had time to put anything up here, much of San Diego County was still burning. Fortunately the extent of the firestorm was not as broad as expected. The numbers of injuries was far less than we planned for, and luckily the weather changed later in the week. Firefighters continued to contain the fires, and after about a week the Santa Ana winds died out, the temperatures dropped, the humidity increased, and the fires were finally out. A small flare threatened Malibu once again later in the week, but a repeat of the previous week’s disaster was averted when heavy rainstorms passed through Southern California. Since the hot dry period of the firestorm, it’s actually been quite wet and somewhat chilly (San Diego chilly) for the last couple weeks.
