sniff, snuffle

[forbiddencharm]

i had a lovely and very relaxing visit with my grandmother over the weekend, which was just what i needed. lots of gossip about the family, lots of mexican food (randomly, there's a tiny family restaurant in overland park, kansas that has the best enchilada i have ever eaten, made with a champagne cheese sauce), lots of scanning of old family pictures (some of which i'll probably stick up in a little while). sadly, i also got a cold on the plane on the way home (i know, i forgot my airborne, dangit!), and now wish i could take a two day coma and wake up healthy again. this has put a damper on my packing (i can't believe i'm leaving in a week!!), as instead of energetically putting things into boxes i'm running a fever and dripping snot, and generally cursing the universe. i'm hoping that if i take today off to sleep and eat crap and drink fluids and bundle up and then have a busy friday and saturday i'll get back on schedule to have the place empty by the end of sunday, but we'll see. anyone who feels the urge to turn up sunday afternoon to help carry the not tremendously heavy but awkward items would be more than welcome!

on the plus side, my new haircut is fantastic!
