Eit

Friday night it was so hot that we slept with the window wide open and I had virtually no sheets covering my body.

Turns out that the alcove my window opens up to is a mosquito breeding ground; water gets in and then takes forever to evaporate. So at dance class I look in the mirror, and realize I'm covered with red dots, and start freaking out. Am I coming down with something? Am I infectious? Shit! Then I realize that I feel fine and its probably just bug bites. Now they're itching like mosquito bites, but at least I don't have something really nasty.

So I sleep for two nights at unseelie's place, and last night my entire left side was aching, which kept me up for large portions of the night. Shoulder, arm, and hip. Ow.

I also appear to be coming down with something cold-like. Which Odwallas are good for nipping a cold in the butt?

Aside from all that, the weekend was awesome. Sin was great fun as always in spite of the heat and some stupid initial stress. Saturday I had fun in spite of the heat, had really good social conversations with unseelie, and then got sucked into a 3 hour processing conversation with him about our individual issues and relationship stuff that was really cathartic and worthwhile. I hadn't realized we needed it, but I've felt SO much better since then. Sadly, said conversation delayed our appearance at karenbynight's birthday party, but we still made it for a very short two hours, which was nice.

Sunday, I somehow managed to get a lot done. LWB flopped, but dragon_spirit and I watched Strange Days together, I fixed the hat I bought at the last Ren Faire, I cleaned some dishes and put away both my and unseelie's laundry, and cleaned my room up some. Pretty productive.

Then unseelie and I had a date night which was really wonderful. Its something we plan to do weekly from now on, to make sure we get QUALITY us time.

In spite of the mosquitoes, aches, cold, and sleeping issues, it was a fabulous weekend.

Lavender oil is the bomb for mosquito bites.

For Odwalla-cold-ness, I think there is some stuff that is for colds, that has echinacea in it. Also, drinking enough water, and eating well is very important. Get enough sleep. Bulk up on vitamin C.
I take my vitae-mins now. (small V:TM joke from years ago).

Odwalla Wellness is the drink you're looking for. That's what keeps me going when I feel the colds coming on. Lots of everything good in it.

Thanks! That was exactly the info I was looking for. I couldn't decide if I should do the C Monster or the Wellness. The Wellness is being fairly tasty, so hopefully it will help me fight the big bad. or, actually, the microscopic bad. ;)
