call me puffy

Posted by bornfamous

Did I mention that I’ve had an annoying, itchy rash on my face and arms since this whole thing began? Got some antihistamines from the doc yesterday. Well, this morning I woke up with the left side of my face, where the worst rash is located, swollen. My eye is about half shut. Very attractive.

why i live in the bathroom

Posted by bornfamous

I slept in the bathtub again last night. Not comfortable but at least I didn’t wake up with a migraine. After yesterday’s neurologist appointment, I’m steamed, and that’s a good thing. I’m ready to write again. I finally have something to say again.

Posted by bornfamous

starting to love css

Posted by bornfamous

Finally got a working CSS-only prototype of the fire dept. site. No actual content yet, it’s just the bare bones, but I really like it. Let me know if you spot any problems.
Thanks to Owen Briggs for the solution.

update

Posted by bornfamous

I feel better now, after my visit to the ER last night. It’s been a very stressful and miserable week, so I’m relieved not to be in pain/nausea. My little apartment is contaminated, though. I’m wearing a mask and have my air purifier going full blast.

Of headaches and bathrooms

Posted by bornfamous

I went to the ER last night after a weekend of puking and migraine, and they gave me intravenous fluids and oxygen, and after several hours I felt better. Not completely, but enough to go home.

hurl city

Posted by bornfamous

I’ve been throwing up since around 3 am, not even chunks, just bile. My brain feels like it’s in spasms afterward, the worst headache I’ve ever had. I can’t keep down more than a sip of water. Two sips, it’s all over.
I’m between hurling episodes right now, feeling a bit better but I’m worried that [...]

oooh… play time

A great new use of the Google API and SOAP
This sounds perfect for a separate Toxic Times blog, if I can just get my ass in gear and actually write a regular column. Then after every column or post, there would be a list of ten related links, courtesy of MT and Google.
Sweet.

Slooze!

Posted by bornfamous

Woohoo! I think I found the solution to my wedding album dilemma. : Take a look. Click the links to see the thumbnails for each topic, then click the thumbnails. I don’t know how the search function works yet — I think I need to add descriptions of each photo so there’s something to search. [...]

pissed

Posted by bornfamous

It takes a long time for me to lose my temper but eventually, I blow. I’m just about ready.
I’ve been sick for the past week, plus generally not well for years, but do you think my 6′2″, 14-year-old son will lift a finger to help? No. He sits in his room and plays games. Period. [...]
