Ramblings

I think I am getting sick again.  Last night when I was home I started to feel like I was getting a sore throat and this morning I woke up congested.  I decided to try to fight whatever this is with some Zicam.  I am eating the chewable tablets which have a nasty after taste but people swear by this stuff so every three hours I am eating this Bubble Gum looking tablets.  I wanted to finish organizing my stuff but I ended up going to bed like around 10ish and kept waking up every two hours or so. I am dragging today. 

 

I am meeting up with an old coworker tonight who I haven't seen since probably 2000.  I used to work with her back when I was in high school and then she visited me while I lived in SoCal.  She is now divorced and living in the Peninsula and she found me through LinkedIn.  It will be nice to catch up with her and see what has been going on with her the past few years.  We are meeting at a sushi place in Pacifica and I am really looking forward to discovering new places in the area. 

 

It's seems like everyone and their mom is on Facebook.  Thankfully my mom is still enjoying hi5 and hasn't heard of Facebook.   I have a love/hate relationship with the site.  It's been great with keeping in touch with family & friends and finding people that I lost touch with.  My gripe with this site is that it's almost like Myspace were the number of "friends" you have matters.  Why do people that I went to high school/college add me when we didn't even talk back in the day?  I mean, if we didn't talk in the past, what makes you think we talk now?  And if I do confirm our "friendship" and leave you a message, it would be nice for you to acknowledge me.  After all, aren't you adding me to your list because you are interested in keeping in touch with me?   Minor rant and I am over it.

 

Realized last night that I can't even properly heat water and no, I didn't burn it J  I was going to make some tea using my tea kettle and loose leaf tea.  I thought I left the water get hot enough but when I tried the tea, it tasted crappy.  I let the tea steep for about 5 minutes which is what is recommended for this type of tea.  Arianne suggested a tea accessory so I may look into it.  It's all about trial and error, right?  This weekend I may go to a tea lounge in SF and check out their tea & their recommendations.
