I'm going to graduate on Thursday, so OF COURSE I woke up with sore throat yesterday. Last night I couldn't fall asleep before 5am and today sore throat got company from runny nose on slight fever. Just splendid!

Dad is going to bring me some hardcore medicine (AND BERRY JUICE WITH HONEY!) tomorrow morning, so lets hope I manage to go get my paper myself.

Nope, there's only one kind of test that I know of.

Tonight's Taekwondo class: I was the only adult, and the only black belt, and the only person not eligible for the upcoming test.

Just curious, how long did it take you to get your black belt?

Well, it took me six years, due to being away in college/boarding school for extended periods of time and being unable to test. If you're looking for a "typical" time period, though, it's closer to three years.

Thanks for the soup! Luckily I have tomorrow off, I will spend the day by resting and sewing my graduation skirt. Rest of the days are short and easy. But if I don't get well, I promise to stay home  :-*

Uinuvien: berry juice with honey sounds good. You might also try actual chicken soup (it doesn't just make you feel better, the minerals in it support the immune response), also lemon juice. You can add lemon to the chicken soup, which tastes good as well as improving your uptake of nutrients from it, or drink lemon/honey/ginger tea.

Good luck with your sewing and your graduation!

Passed my test for herbicide/pesticide appliccation in idaho, I also didn't get cauht up in the shooting when my neighbors started shooting at batsquatch (it's allegedly a thing) tried to eat one of their horses a couple night ago. They didn't hit the horses but did hit something and fish and game came up and got samples and statements.

I'm slowly starting to feel better! My nose is not runny anymore, throat doesn't hurt as much and I don't feel feverish. At this rate I may as well be able to go to the graduation event. I'm not sure I'll be able to go to school tomorrow, but there's not that important stuff tomorrow.

Aaand the repairman came to fix our hallway light. And he was hot  >:D

I've decided to dedicate at least one hour every day this summer to drawing. Hopefully there's gonna be some improvements by the end of August!

When will people understand that "Is he cute ?" isn't a good first question when you're saying you've done something (Naming this "something", not any doubt possible) with a male friend (Because in French you hear the gender in the sentence.) last weekend ? *Tired*
