Traffic for 2005 October 2 (entry 0)

(5) Sun Oct 02 2005 09:40 PST Guzzle a gallon of alcohol and call me in the morning: Susie and I both have fall allergies (well, I've had them since high school but Susie has now developed them). So we dry cough all night long. It's miserable to both be afflicted at the same time. Though I must confess, my symptoms are less severe here than in UT, which is nice. But the cure to sleep is that syrup-based alcohol OTC wonder otherwise known as Nyquil. Whenever I am sick I try only to use it sparingly so as not to create a sleeping crutch. I hope we get better soon.

This weekend is general conference, but I was still expected to work on Saturday. So I got creative and did PA state return at home that morning while listening, went to work between sessions, and finished it up at home during the afternoon session. I got the best of both worlds out of it.

Speaking of the best of both worlds, we still don't have tv, and "The Amazing Race" has started again. So Susie had the brilliant idea that if I come home early on Tuesdays then we can go watch it in the workout room while we run in place for an hour.

We watched the sun set at the beach last night. It was pretty. Susie told me that if we watch closely, we'll see a green light at the exact moment the sun exits our view. She says mom told her that, but I'm afraid that she may have confused it with "The Great Gatsby." Nevertheless, we did not see any green light.

The green flash of light supposedly happens in Hawaii, not here.

yeah, I was gonna say, I thought the green flash at sunset was in the south pacific... wasn't it in a victoria holt novel?

I saw ads for the amazing race while watching football and thought of you. Whenever there is something I want to watch on TV I usually go over to a friend's house. We're always at Chris' on Sundays to watch Arrested Development... sadly the UCLA/Cal game is during MLI next week. Hope yousies is feeling better soon.

Yay for another Gatsby fan.

Also, the VeganEssentials site has a lot of alcohol-free cold/flu remedies:

I wonder if they got a Mormon on The Amazing Race. They were recruiting in UT as you all know. Hmmmmm...

I don't think so, but it's hard to know. With big teams and still so many of them, I couldn't tell last night. But last season there were two mormon sisters from Pleasant Grove.
