57057--hazy shade of winter

[zyzyly]

I called in sick this morning. I'm not really sick, although my sinuses are bothering me and now my hearing is distorted in my other ear. I think it all has to do with congestion. I went to the pharmacy to get some sudafed. Although it is an OTC drug, the pharmacist had to submit my name to an online database to make sure I'm not making methamphetamine in my garage. The system was down, and she wouldn't sell it to me. When we got home, Malida rooted around and found some from Thailand. So now I am attempting to clear my sinuses.

Anyway, I wasn't really sick, but I had nothing to do at work today, and couldn't face another day of coming up with busy work. So I slept in and we went out for hamburgers and shopped for a new lamp for Malida's office. She likes her room to be bright. I prefer mine shadowy and dark.

So I've called in sick two days since I'be been back from vacation. That can't be good.

I was looking through some pictures this afternoon and found the above one in the middle of a bunch of photos I took at the wildlife refuge. I have no idea how it got there, but the fine number was in sequence. I think I took it back at the end of november when we went to SF to get Malida's visa for Europe. I like the hazy quality of it. It looks like a black and white, but it's just how it was.

we took a walk to Walgreens this evening as Ky's sinuses were bothering him also. Found the Sudafed card, took it to the pharmacist and was thankful the system wasn't down.
Must be something in the air today.

Lovely picture. Natomas was all fogged in this morning. I cheered the fog when I saw it. How refreshing it was.

That's a photo I would hang on my wall. So much to look at, so many levels and angles. So much shadow detail. Lots of grey matter.

i'm sorry your job is rather fruitless this semester. will it fill up later in the semester? nothing is worse than trying to *look* busy at work, i think. one could be doing so many other things ... like wandering and making pictures! i'm so glad you are sharing pictures lately. i missed them. and your words, too!

That's a wonderful picture, almost monochromatic. Glad you weren't really sick.

This is beautiful--I'm glad you put it up on Tumblr too!

It really is hazy shades of winter.
