Simon was begging me to be put in a comic. I told him he wasn’t old enough but he wouldn’t believe me. He’s in there so I guess I was wrong.

Down With The Sickness

crazitalk — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 09:54:00 +0000

It’s been a strange week for ailments, Fenmere had his teeth, Duffy had his heart, Michele and I had our lungs and the flu.

So Saturday my throat felt kinda raw and scratchy, figured I was coming down with something, figured a few days of discomfort and I’d be over it. That’s the way it usually runs. So, anyhow, on Sunday I’d agreed to work, get some extra hours, Lord knows we could use the extra pay. I get up, shower, and head to work feeling a little worse than I did on Saturday.

Sunday was slow, I’m not sure if it was because it’s nearing the end of the Annual Enrollment Period/Open Enrollment Period (AEP/OEP) or because of the Super Bowl, it was probably a little of both. Whatever it was I only had 7 or 8 calls at most all day. That was a good thing though because as the day went on I felt worse and worse. I was coughing and it was getting deeper in my chest, I was feeling weak and dizzy. By the end of my shift I was so sick. I staggered out of work to our van to wait for Michele, we were going to go down to Smokey Point to drop off Tallis. By the time I’d walked the 50 feet to the van my teeth were chattering, I was so cold. Michele showed up after about 5 minutes and I told her that I couldn’t drive down there. I hopped in the car and when Michele saw how sick I looked she asked if I would be okay just driving myself straight home.

So I drove myself home and crawled into bed. I slept for maybe 2, 2 and a half, hours before Michele got home. When I crawled into bed I was so cold I pulled 2 heating pads into bed with myself to keep warm. When Michele got home she took my temperature and told me that I was at 102.5 degrees.

It wound up being the flu, with a side of bronchitis. Went to the doctor’s on Tuesday, I was sick all week. Didn’t make it back to work at all. Went to the doctors. Had a high temperature for 3 days, didn’t start doing better till Thursday. Spent Friday and Saturday out and about a bit, still not feeling 100% though.

What made the week more difficult was the fact that Wednesday Michele started coming down with the same thing. She’s lying next to me now, fever nearly 100 and coughing and hacking. She sounds so miserable. I hope she’s feeling better soon.

This is pretty much how it happened. We’re still laughing about it.

Big Giant Metal Swizzle Stick

crazitalk — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 08:00:00 +0000

With the 2010 winter Olympics happening just around the corner up in Vancouver, the city of Bellingham has been doing all manner of things to make the downtown more beautiful. They’ve installed $20,000 crosswalks at each of the 5 major intersections of Holly that lead into the downtown. They’ve erected art, seemingly over night, on a myriad of street corners, art that elicits a “WTF?” from most people.

But this comic realistically has nothing to do with that.

SoFTPOOM

Because of my wife, Jonathan told me I shouldn’t be running the LJ community SoFTPOOM anymore. Apparently I’m no longer oblivious.

Amish Zombie

For Julie McGalliard’s party I was able to go a an undead president, and my wife went as Betty Boop, and did she ever look hot. It was pretty fun. Mostly hung out with Jonathan and Julie Sodt. Kinda went around in a circle trying to figure out what to go as with my wife.

Can I Wear A Kilt

crazitalk — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:47:00 +0000

Yup… More or less a true story. Now I need more kilts. I think I’ll get one or two Mockers next.

And Robots

So I sat there looking at the screen trying to figure out my next comic… then suddenly it popped into my brain.

Things to do…

crazitalk — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:37:00 +0000

I’ve been feeling almost overwhelmed lately with everything I’ve been failing to get done, and it’s not for lack of trying. I woke up about an hour ago, maybe an hour and a half. I’ve barely gotten anything accomplished. There’s a fair amount to do before my birthday celebration tonight, and I’ve yet to do more than fold a few pieces of laundry. I got engaged a couple weeks ago, life leading up to that was part of what the problem was with me getting any comicing done. Now that that’s over I find myself training my replacement at work. It’s a time consuming endeavor that takes away about 9 to 12 hours a week of time that I’d use to do arty stuff.

I’m gonna work on some quick cleaning of the house, and then see about the possibility of popping off to the Black Drop for a couple hours of art and coffee.

I should be back here by about 4 to do the last minute shopping, preparation, and such.

I’m a creature of pattern and habit, it’s very difficult to change those patterns and habits.
