… because you have nothing to say. :P

I often wondered what it would be like to be stuck in bed ill for an entire weekend. Now I know. Friday I left work with a sever sinus headache, and went home. Monique and I stepped out for a bite to eat for a while when I became much more ill. My head filled up with goo and I was lightheaded. I’ll spare you with the gruesome details. So on Saturday I slated an afternoon of make more beer for an upcoming party that Monique, Keith and I are throwing for Dawn and John-Paul. That was canned as Saturday I awoke to the sounds of my lungs filled with more goo. I despise being sick. I stayed in bed literally all day and night. Slept through the evening and replayed the same song on Sunday. I accomplished nothing this weekend. My lawn is about 2 inches high and I am missing the weed and feed season if I do not get out there and fertilize!
