Finished.

I had a CAT scan yesterday because the doctor was worried about acute infections — I had none. What I do have is some anti-nausea pills so that’ll do because I have no time left for this crap.
Tomorrow Fancyhats and I go to Plate and Pitchfork. I’m so excited. We haven’t had a chance to catch up, be relaxed, eat great food and sort be googly at each other in a few weeks. I mean, I’m not that pretty while puking. The weather will be warm and dry and we’ll dine al fresco on some amazing food. And I’ll get to walk around on a farm and hold Fancyhats’s hand. I love holding his hand. I also love feeling him touch my neck, so gently. He dresses fancy during the day, and on weekends he’s all shorts and t-shirt and a red sox baseball hat. I look at him and swoon. I can’t wait to sit with him in the warmth and watch the light change colors as the sun sets.
And in a week, I’m going to BlogHer in Chicago. I’m speaking there, you know. Because I’m fancy like that. If you’re going, drop me a line in comments or on Twitter or something so I can look for you. I’m talking about Bloggers in the Post-Employee World and the various ways I make money. I wish more writers were attending BlogHer. I think writers could learn a little something from bloggers. Or like a lot of somethings. Like not pissing and moaning about creating content daily.
Also, I got a very good assignment the other day. I’m not going to tell you for whom I’m writing but it’s a pretty big deal. Like a national big deal. Definitely the biggest site I’ve written for. I pitched at them for months and when they accepted something, it was easy. So very easy. Makes me nervous.
Today begins the great home painting project.
A lot going on. I’m fretting a little bit, and also realizing that fretting is a wasted emotion. But all of this is wonderful. So there you are. Send me some love, won’t you. Or if you want to help me paint, drop me a line.

I am going to BlogHer. I’m really tall, and pretty damn loud. I’ll be unable to attend your session as I’ll be working at the registration desk. Boo.

So jealous that you’re going to Chicago…but slightly less so that you’re heading there when it’s wicked HOT. Keep feeling lots better. Pukin’ is never fun. Particularly when it wasn’t from a self-inflicted type sitchy.

Plate and Pitchfork is great. Keep an eye on those volunteer servers though. They get to drink what’s left of the booze, so they can get stingy when you ask for a refill. At the per plate cost… how rude!

Glad to see you’re on the road to getting better Melissa!
Just a couple things today…first, Aisha, it’s 72 degrees right now in downtown Chicago with a high of 81 and a low of 60, that seems pretty fantastic to me (not wicked hot!).
And second, Melissa, as a reader of your blog and a resident of the Chicago area, while you are visiting our fair city, I’m happy to offer my services in an emergency…need a restaurant recommendation, need to be bailed out of jail, etc.

How come they didn’t give ME anti-nausea pills? Hrmph. They told me to take care of my emotional problems and it would go away. Like I can just do THAT in the blink of an eye.

I’m so glad you don’t have any bacterial infection thingies.
But I miss talking to you via the emails.
TALK TO ME VIA THE EMAILS PLEASE.

Thank God someone will be there to bail us out of jail.

Just call me bail-bondsman Ben…but don’t really.
And K8, there’s lots of over the counter anti-nausea products. Personally, I rarely have nausea that isn’t roller-coaster related but if I do, a sugary soda (Coke or Vernors) usually helps.
