monday tidbits

so i'm fighting off (with little success) this nasty head cold that had developed from those sniffles on friday. i've been severely congested with a sore throat (most likely secondary to sinus drainage - ewwwww), and a bit of a cough (that i think is secondary to the sore throat, thereby tertiary to sinus drainage, ewwwww, got that?). i thought i was going to DIE in the boringest meeting ever due to my discomfort this morning, so i just now ran out to buy some sudafed (not the wimpy over the counter crap, but the show- the- pharmacist- your- drivers- license- powerful- 12 hour- non- drowsy- sudafed- imitation- by- target). hopefully that kicks in soon and i can go about my day.

also my sister posted this website that you can find out what the billboard #1 song was the day you were born. mine was "le freak" by chic. awesome. at least i've heard of it. ah well, kind of a fun little distraction.

other than that, weather's a lot nicer today than for the cubs/sox game yesterday. heath and i braved the frigid temps for the first 7.5 innings. after pierzynski's grand slam, we decided that was enough and we should head for the train. it was one of our better decisions, as it was getting dark in the west and by the time we got back up to evanston and turned the game on the tv, a rain delay was in progress. apparently the heavens opened up and just duh-umped rain on the field in the top of the 9th. glad we missed that part and stayed dry. cold was bad enough; cold + soaking wet would've been miserable. dumbfounding that the weather was so great saturday (shorts and tshirts) and is great today, but when we have $$$ tickets to a ballgame, late november decides to stop by for a day. sheesh. love that chicago weather!
