I have succeeded in getting sick. It always happens when there is a sudden change in the weather. Rain one week, hot summer like days the next, then humid sunless days the next... Now I am sneezing all over the place and battling sinus pressure, along with a stuffy, runny nose. I need to result to some holistic healing because I can't even afford to think about trying to get hold of any OTC meds. All of this couldn't have come at a better time, as I have a 20 PAGE DRAFT DUE THIS FRIDAY!

So, yeah, that's really what I came here to tell you. I am gonna have to take a short vacation from you this week because I have until 3pm Friday to get this mock thesis completed and I have to really buckle down and crank it out. Then on top of that I think we are gonna have to do peer reviews next week. As if I really wanna spend a bunch of time reviewing TWO 20 page papers in addition to fine tuning my own next week. This whole thing can't be over fast enough for me. I'd much rather produce mindless banter any day than have to be all academic. My brain just doesn't wanna go there, but this week I must force it.

I will be back Friday evening to participate in Friday Fill-ins, catch up on all that you have been up to this week, AND to share those photoshoot photos with you. Yep, Wildboy emailed me today and told me that he had them ready for me.

Wish me luck!
