This is pretty nifty. It's a toolbar that allows you to search Google, Amazon, Dictionary.com, the Internet Movie Database, and Daypop. Nifty.

But you enjoy seeing your friends and going out to enjoy life away from your computer.

Well, last night and today have been quite interesting. I'm not sure if interesting is really the right word for it, honestly, but I don't know what else to call it. There's sickness TMI here, so if you're easily grossed out, you may want to skip ahead.
Last night around 8:30 or 9, I suddenly began feeling really, really ill. I went to bed and the feeling just got worse and worse, and over the course of the night I ended up throwing up about every 10 minutes. I would barely make it back to the bed to put a cold washcloth on my head before the next round would start, and around 3:30 I was at the point where I was so weak that I could barely stand up to walk to the bathroom at all. I woke Dave up, and he called my doctor, who told him that I was likely getting dehydrated, and that we should go to the emergency room.
Yay.
Luckily, Mountainside Hospital is only a few blocks away, and when we arrived, the ER was nearly empty, so I got seen almost right away. The nurse told me that there is an exceptionally bad gastrointestinal virus going around right now, and that they've seen many patients with it over the past few weeks. My BP was, as always, really low, and although I had a slight fever, nothing else appeared to be awry. They started me on a fluid IV, and after I saw the doctor, he also added an antinausea drug to the IV fluids. That med knocked me out, and I slept through another bag of IV fluids until they came in to check on me at about 7:30 am. Poor Dave was trying to get some rest in the waiting room, but I don't think that he slept much.
They sent me home with a note for my boss and a prescription for the antinausea drug, as well as explicit instructions to drink a lot of fluids and to not even THINK about eating any solid food today. We got back home, I called and left a voicemail for my boss, and crashed until about 1:00 pm. I still feel icky, but not nearly as badly as I did last night. I have so much work to do, too, so this timing is just particularly crappy. Bleah.

I'm currently working on a PowerPoint presentation for a training class that I'm giving next week, and it looks like this thing is going to be at least fifty slides. Couple this with the fact that my timeslot is 4-5 pm on a Thursday afternoon, and you can bet that it will be a complete and utter snoozefest.

I am completely and utterly addicted to Kiehl's Lip Balm #1. I understand that there are support groups for this...problem.
Not that I have a problem. Not me.

I just got home after working for 11 hours, and the electricians are still here. There is shit everywhere, and they've got the radio on in our bedroom on the second floor so loudly that they can hear it in the basement.
Calgon, take me away!
