Day 031-37 / 365 - I haven't quite thrown in the towel

Have I mentioned I'm still sick? I haven't given up on this project quite yet ;)

We were supposed to go to Denver today, but that never came to be.  We've been meaning to go for the past 3 weeks.  Haha.  Anyway, I tried fruitlessly for 4+ hours to sleep.  I just decided to get up.  I wasn't getting much sleep for the past few days anyway so I was kind of used to it.  My coughing spells were just too much and everytime I would *almost* fall asleep, I'd just wake myself up by coughing more.

Peter & I made a run to the grocery store and I bought myself some Extra Strength Mucinex to nuke my cough away.  I also bought Ricola, orange juice, & lemon drops!  Hopefully it will be enough to keep my cough at bay and make it go away soon.  I'm hoping my cold hasn't developed into bronchitis like it did years ago.  I don't think it has though.  This time doesn't nearly hurt as much as before and I've always been one to take a long time to get rid of my cough.

I pretty much stayed up for 24 hours straight yet again (I must've done it 3 times this week!) because I just couldn't sleep.  Yes, I was pretty miserable this week.  Peter was playing video games all day so I suggested we watch a movie.  We watched "Across The Universe" since he got it for me for Christmas.  Uhm.. I can't really tell you what it's about because I was pretty much falling asleep during the movie.  It was a pretty slow storyline and didn't do much for me except make me want to sleep, which I am grateful for!  I think you have to be stoned or high on something to thoroughly enjoy this... As the movie progressed it got weirder and weirder.

This was emotion overload day.  But uh so.. BOYS OVER FLOWERS!!  There were 21 episodes available, each an hour or more long.  I watched every single episode in less than 2 days!  Ahahah.  If you know me really well... it should be known that I get addicted to Asian drama series fairly easily.  As in, I watch it like an addict.  Filipino dramas are the worst because they are months and months long and take DAYS to finish.

Anyway, so about BOF... I am so fricken INLOVE with JiHoo (real name: Kim Hyun Joong)!!  Lol.  I have no idea why.  In any other circumstance, I don't think I would be attracted to him, but I am.  This show is corny as hell & I loves it!  I want JiHoo & JanDi to be together, but I doubt this will happen.  UGH.  

There's something about Asian boys in suits, jackets, sweaters, and plain just dressed up and clean-cut looking.  ITS HOTT!  No wonder I love the fact that Peter dresses up for work everyday now :D  Hehe.  Mmmm Korean boys... Yummy.

The photo above is a page out of a photography book Peter got me for our 1 year anniversary/Valentines Day.  It's a collection of photos around the theme of "LOVE."  It's quite fitting actually.

I developed this pattern of falling asleep during the afternoon and waking up at night.  NOT good.  At least when I woke up, Peter said he left some PHO for me to eat :)  I didn't know there was hoisin sauce in the fridge so I just ate it plain.  It was still yummy though and good for my throat!

Being that I slept during the afternoon/night again, I started myself on watching "Boys Before Flowers" or "Boys Over Flowers" whichever title.  Hope recommended it to me and damnit I should not have started watching this show!!  It is like crack cocaine.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to sleep all night.  Sooo... as a thank you to Peter for taking care of me, I cooked some breakfast for us.  Bacon, eggs, & rice!  The funny thing is, neither of us were hungry.  Haha.  We ended up eating this for a late lunch instead.

I did a bunch of website work that I had to catch up on while I was sick.  It's nice to know that I don't have to leave my house to do work.  Haha.  The mileage on my car is a testament to that fact (~2,500 miles).  The funny thing is, 1/5th of that mileage or possibly even more accumulated during Teri's visit here last month.  I haven't filled my gas tank up since then and I am still at 3/4 of a tank ;)

My handsome Zeus.  I wasn't able to sleep the night before.  Too many things going through my mind.  I haven't been able to sleep much also due to all my coughing spells.  I was able to talk to my best friend though (Hope) and we had a nice long conversation.  We don't talk much, but it's that things always pick up where they left off.  It seems as if you've never even spent that time away from each other.  Overall, it was just nice to catch up and she get advice from my BFF.

St. Patrick's Day.  Unfortunately for me, while others were out celebrating, I spent the night at home all by my lonesome.  I thought it wouldn't be wise to spend the night out again being that I was still sick and nothing seemed to be helping.  I managed to fall asleep in the living room for a good portion of the night and this was my view.

I've been eating some RAW honey in an effort to help bring some soothing relief to my throat.  It helped for a moment, but its effects were not long-term.
