My Maryland driver's license about to expire. Seemed a good opportunity to finally transfer to a Hawaii license. Though it requires a written test.
While taking a practice test, I noted the question which says your registration must be updated within a month if you move, and it occurred to me I had moved 9 months ago and probably not updated it. I read online I could update easily as long as my registration was valid. Then it occurred to me I moved here over a year ago, and if they had my old address I may not have gotten a renewal reminder. Went out to the car. Sure enough. Registration expired 4 days ago.
But it's okay. Registration is easy as long as my safety inspection is up to date.
Also expired 4 days ago.
I think tomorrow will be a long day.

I need to stop eating out. Went to the grocery store today and bought toasted baguette slices, brie, a brie topping mixture of nuts, berries, and honey, a salami, and a bottle of champagne. I think I spent $15. That's like a super sized extra value meal.

I have some kind of cold/respiratory irritation thing. It is a virus of some sort because my hair stylist told me she has it and her boss has it.
I cannot take it. Just when I think I have kicked it, I walk into the comic store and get blasted with no less than 15 sneezes in a row. I was so embarrassed. I almost ran to my car. But my eyes were watering so badly that I could not see in front of me.

^Dang! Feel better, coldie. Maybe have a good rest today, it's Sunday after all. Thank you. I have been resting, though, and it's not that I feel sick, it just strikes me out of nowhere. But I'll be okay.

I feel you, CW. I've been under the weather with a sore threat and congestion the past few week, but as a college student, I've been too lazy/cheap to go get it checked for strep. Luckily, my roommate has a thermometer in his first aid kit so I could confirm that it's not a fever, but it's been tough getting work done.

I doubt it's strep (thank god!), though, but if I were you, I'd stop into the college clinic (do you have a college specific health clinic on campus?) just to confirm that it isn't an infection of some sort that might require antibiotics. Strep throat takes me down FAST. I get a bad fever, and I will KNOW I have strep throat because I get so sick, I practically have to be carried to the doctor. I've always been super sensitive to fevers, though.

Hopefully, I didn't screw up and it's actually a fever, because I just spent yesterday afternoon tutoring a room full of elementary school kids.

I hope for your sake (and the children's sake!) that it's not strep throat! I had strep when I was 10 years old. My first encounter with the illness. I was sooooo sick that my parents had me sleep in their room, on the floor, so that they could keep an eye on me. But I didn't eat or drink for almost 3 days. My fever was so bad that I was delirious and would sleep walk. In fact, one night, I got up to use the bathroom, and my mom found me in her closet, almost ready to pee on her shoes. Finally, on the third day, during a break in fever, I got up and told my mom I was so hungry. She made me some green jello. She fed me a spoonful, and as soon as it hit my throat, it came back up. I haven't been really able to eat jello since.

Is it just me or has the font here at the CCF just changed?

Changing my avatar was not done lightly. But I feel today's Superbowl ad just hit the intersection of my interests and captured my screen name too perfectly.
