Toilet Paper

I'm sitting at my computer, listening to the post-game show for the Oregon State Basketball game. I woke up half an hour before my alarm went off this morning, and while up, I noticed that the game was going on, so I got to listen to the last 10 or 15 minutes of it.

On my desk is a half roll of toilet paper. What is interesting is that it was a full roll yesterday-- I took it with me to use as Kleenex during four hours on an Army bus yesterday, and also used it during the night. After getting food poisoning two weeks ago, my weakened immune system was attacked by a cold, which four days ago assaulted me with a nasty cough and stuffed/runny nose. I am hoping it goes away by the time I go to the M16 rifle range on tuesday... I would like my breathing to be back to normal before I go put my expert badge on the line!

The good news is that one of Deanna's roommates also has a cold, and hers is slightly worse than mine at the moment, perhaps where mine was two days ago. Why is this bad thing good news for me? Because while at her apartment with a cough drop in my mouth, I don't feel so guilty about being near her roommates and getting them sick! I would say we have the same thing, but she was in America when I got sick...

Two days ago Deanna updated our registry at Wal-Mart. The first time we went through, I think we were in just one section of the website and didn't realize we weren't in a bigger section, so after my mom asked about camping equipment, we added a lot of stuff from that category. It got me in a camping mood! Unfortunately, we won't get to go camping for quite some time... probably not until the summer of 2010 because of the timing of when we are getting married and when school starts. I am just in the mood to roast some marshmallows or hot dogs, pitch up a tent, and relax in the hammock with a good book.
