I ab so sick.

I hab a code.

It's a bad wud.

Okay I'll stop writing in cold-speak. I'm being punished for all the happy excitement of potential greatness which has recently come into my life. Or possibly this is just the buildup of not having been sick in about a year and a half. It's pushing my move-date a little further back, and I am staying away from The New Guy so as not to infect him, but I have taken today off of work and am watching movies and sneezing on the couch and recouperating.

Meanwhile, I got a great deal on this mattress off of Craigslist, which, by the way, is my new best friend. I keep mucking that sentence up, though. I keep wanting to say "I totally scored on this mattress off of Craigslist" but that, unfortunately, is not the case. Point is, it's a one year old really firm and back-friendly Sealy Posturepedic that I got for $190. I bought it from a couple named Maria and Pedro. Maria speaks pretty good English, and Pedro no habla Ingles, solamente habla en Espanol. Maria translates for him. Their last name is Goldstein, prompting me to wonder exactly whose murder they witnessed, or at least how much they paid for their new identities in order to gain entry into Our Great Nation. I had a hard time not laughing out loud when I was writing the check out to Pedro Goldstein. That was great. They are great people. Muy caliente matzoh balls, those two.

The best part is, I bought it in Newton, MA.

DID YOU HEAR ME!??!? NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS!!!

And as we all know, one of my biggest celebrity crushes is from Newton, MA, so OBVIOUSLY this new mattress is proof of the fact that we are nothing short of soulmates.

Ugh, my head is fuzzy.

This weekend, if I am up for it, I will be going to an Eagle Scout Ceremony. You are ALL jealous, I know... I mean, how often do you get to see boys get Eagled? It's like the Christian Bar Mitzvah or one of those Turn-You-Into-A-Man quests that I think many Native American tribes would do.

Okay obviously my grasp of the Eagle Scouts, Judaism and the entire American Indian Nation is tenuous at best but cut me some slack, I can barely remember my own name right now. I will say this: I am a fan of the Quils. NyQuil and DayQuil are my new best friends (they don't, however, get along with Craigslist, the three are involved in some messy feud that started way before I came along, so I am like the Switzerland between them. Friends with both camps, but I don't mix us all together.)

Look, fine. I'm not making any sense, but SMED SENT ME, LIKE, FIVE CDs and I am SO excited. Haven't really had time to listen to them yet, or the mental capacity to retain what I've heard, but I intend to give them my full, full attention (when I have it back) and then report on how incredible the man is for making them for me.

Okay I've run out of energy. Movies and Kleenex it is!
