i've learned five things today from being sick at home:

1. upstairs teenage boy comes home straight from school.

2. upstairs teenage boy stomps around the most when upstairs mom is away.

3. it gets pretty damn toasty in my bedroom during the afternoon.

4. christopher lowell has way too much energy - i need to take a nap just from watching an entire episode.

5. it really sucks to be ill by myself without mom around to check on me every five minutes and to feed me mushy rice and 7up.
