New Diggs

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So, I finally got me an apartment in San Francisco. It’s all very exciting. My commute has gone from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Also, my place has a fairly nice view (not that I ever look outside).

I’m right across the street from the Caltrain station, which gives me quick access to most places worth going to along the peninsula. Also, there is a Muni station right outside my building, which gives me quick access to anywhere I need to go in the city, including my work.

I haven’t explored that much of my neighborhood yet. I walked around a little earlier, but only went a few blocks. I have a Safeway across the street, a borders a block away, and a couple pizza places nearby. I haven’t seen much in the way of bars, but I know there are some a couple stops down the Muni.

More Sickness

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

It never ends. I’ve been sick for over three weeks now. I’ve been through all forms of nasty symptoms. I thought I was finally over everything, but on Friday, I started having an allergic reaction to my medication. As it turns out, the stuff that was supposed to make me better, while it actually did make me better, has put me in the worst situation of all. While my cold was obnoxious and maybe even debilitating at times, it was never “life threatening,” which I’m told my current situation can become if I’m not very careful.

So, I faithfully take yet more medication so that I may survive the medication I’ve taken already. Will it ever end? Stay tuned…

Sick

Friday, August 11th, 2006

I never get sick. Well, almost never anyway. I’ve been sick all week. It used to be, when I was in school, that being sick at least meant I didn’t have to go. But I like my job. That’s where I want to be. Being sick now means I can’t go instead. I stayed home the first day I was feeling really sick. Then I went in for a couple days, determined not to let it get the better of me. Today, it got the better of me. My fever has reached new heights and I’m miserable.
