Sally is doing a FANTASTIC job organising this year’s WWKIP Day in Sydney. I’ll be doing an order for T-shirts and swag from the Cafepress store in a month or so, so let me know if you want to combine shipping.

Who will be my 100th Twitter follower? I nearly fell over last night when I had a notification that my MOM was following me. (She was #93.)
I’m back at work and feeling mostly recovered. Back to your regularly scheduled Kris-programming…
Holy crap! How did I miss that President Obama will be delivering the commencement address this year at Notre Dame? That’s fantastic! Of course, some of the more strict Catholics are predictably outraged. I find that… somewhat hypocritical. Why aren’t they launching petitions over ROTC’s large presence on campus? Why don’t they protest the number of non-Catholics (myself included) who attend and earn degrees? We should be HONORED that the President has chosen to come and speak. I can’t even imagine how the (very few) African-American students on campus are feeling.
Bex and Fin have rescued an adorable kitten. Kittens for everyone!
Diagnosis. I saw Dr. Chin this morning, who confirmed that I’ve got a virus of some sort. I’m still feverish and my lymph nodes are swollen. He said to stay home and rest today, possibly even tomorrow. I’ve heard from a few Sydneysiders that a cold/flu/plague is going around, but so far I don’t have any symptoms below the neck. I’m hoping this means I’m fighting it off…
Sick. I’ve slept pretty much all day long. I’m still groggy. My lymph nodes are all swollen and painful. No idea if it’s just from the cold sore, or whether I’m fighting off something else and the cold sore is just a consequence of my weakened immune system. Going to see the doctor tomorrow morning.
Split Pea and Ham Frustration
Inspired by Eileen’s site this week, I bought a ham hock and a bag of split peas last night to make crock pot split pea and ham soup today. I put it in this morning and the whole house has been filled with the most wonderful smells. A few hours I ago I was researching remedies for cold sores, when I discovered that you should avoid foods high in arginine while having an outbreak. What has loads of arginine? PEAS. So I had scrambled eggs on toast for dinner while Snookums partook of my beautiful soup. At least I know that it freezes well, and it’ll still taste good in a few days when I’m all healed up. Still, MEGA FRUSTRATION.
Faramir as Jerry Springer?? Now that’s just weird.
