Namesake

 The past few days this blog has been living up to its namesake. Both me and my wife have come down with a cold, this one seemingly wanting to hang out in the sinuses and cause pain that way. My wife is getting worse headaches than me and I'm getting more snot sniffles but we basically came down at almost the exact same time with the same cold. To whomever gave it to us (probably somebody at work but you never know) thank you very much for the time off work :| .

  Lego featured again today as we spent my free Lego monies from buying so much Lego. We are also trying to find the pieces to build a couple of custom builds but ordering directly from Lego is painful since they don't have everything available which made for a frustrating hour trying to find the right pieces in the right colour and failing in the end. We did manage to get the right pieces for a nice Lego polar bear but the website is having problems and we can't check out. Grrrr.

  My wife is having real snappy anger issues at the moment, no particular cause, she just feels angry. More than likely this is an effect of coming off her medication and it is annoying her a lot, especially since it makes her partially angry about getting angry. Kind of a vicious cycle at the moment she is trying her best to get through and I'm trying my best to not find ways of irritating her.

  Hurrah, just randomly tried the order and it went through. Finally. Now we just need to wait the god knows how long for the order to turn up since it is a custom order of pieces and not a kit.

  Anyway, trying to find something to do now so that we don't both feel too crappy. All we have managed to do is laze around, watch TV, slob on the internet and for me play games. Anything more is too strenuous since we both really don't have much energy for anything at the moment. Your body really does take energy away from "living" as it were to try and fight illness. Leaves you really incapable of doing much else which is annoying since there are chores to do but we both really aren't up to it at the moment. I think some more TV watching might be in order now, although not too loudly so we don't cause headache problems.
