Being sick is dumb

Yeah, I'm sick :( Last night at work my voice started sounding really husky at about 8pm, and this morning I woke up and I didn't want to move, my voice is terrible and my throat all scratchy. I'm still in my pyjamas now, slept in til 11.45am - that is soooooooooooo not me. So I must be sick. I rang my boss this morning and felt really bad (I always do, and I shouldn't, it's not as if I"m faking) because now he has to go to work instead of me.

I got my first pay yesterday :) Except they mucked up and paid me for 64 hours instead of 80, which makes a big difference! It makes the difference between Claire budgeting and Claire going a little crazy with her first pay. BUT then I talked to my boss and he rang payroll and yes sure enough that's what happened. So apparently I will be getting paid for the two extra days by Saturday. With news of that I went and bought my favourite Hush Puppies (shoes) which I've wanted for ages and were finally on special for $80! Yay! New comfy shoes.

Adrian and I are going out for tea at the Crazy Horse on Sunday to celebrate my first pay :) I hope I'm better by then!

I have been having quite vivid dreams lately. This morning I dreamt I was at a school gala (you know the ones, with big tressle tables full of cakes and slices and home-made cookies and sausage rolls, and dammit you have to choose! At our school galas, the dental nurse sold toffee apples!) and there were like 10 tables full of cakes and slices and ... blackboard chalk! Not just white, no, you could choose - I remember purple (grape?), blue (blueberry?), green (apple? lime?) and orange (orange. No question mark needed). Whoever thought blackboard chalk would have made it onto school gala tables. Well now that everyone has whiteboards I guess the teachers had to find something to do with the chalk.
