Art Colony: malaise (en general)

I feel blaeagh. (you must say it out loud for the full effect).
My throat is sore, I've been coughing and congested all morning, plus I'm very ache-y and tired. I slept well, but I got up early this morning (well, early for vacation--8:30--i need to appreciate being able to sleep in while I can, though, since school and my internship will start off all-too-soon and may God have mercy on my lipgloss when that happens!) and did the dishes, wiped the floor with a Swiffer, and ate toast while watching random morning TV. (I wish they would show quality programs in the morning, but hey, infomercials are okay...) B.f. slept in, looking absolutely too cute to wake up, so that when I finally did wake him up, it was presenting him with breakfast oatmeal. Awww. We watched more morning TV, then I zoomed us into being "productive." (B.f. often says about me that I get happy by making us do more than humanely possible amounts of stuff at once. I don't think this is fair, generally, but I will concede that I like the feeling that I've done a lot. That makes me feel justified in relaxing, and sitting around last night like we did discussing cryptozoology and chupacabras with glasses of rum & coke while reclining on pillows...it was a great discussion!
Anyways, so we were PRODUCTIVE with a capital P this morning, going to Aldi's for (presumabely) the last time in a while with our own car, since B.f. is going to try to sell his car, which made me really sad all of a sudden while we were driving and I started to cry. Anyways, we picked up 8 boxes of cereal, sardines, a pizza, ham, bagels, energy drinks, coffee...all the things that cost way less at Aldi's than at any other grocery store. So hopefully that will keep us stocked up for a LONG time, it made B.f. very depressed to go shopping. But he perked up when I got him some Gauloises loose tobacco and rolling papers so he could make his own cigarettes (tobacco withdrawal is a major twist on your mood, as I can safely say from experience! this blasted cold/sore throat/whatever is forcing me to quit, at least temporarily, and adding on a bit of hormonal rollercoaster and I'm happily smiling one minute and crying the next).
I just really hope he gets hired SOMEWHERE, because dammit he deserves a job and that would be SO SO so so great. I mean, it's an important part of your human dignity! A job is part of how you define yourself, as well as a way of securing income. Both those things are really important...
And now, moving on so that I don't get too depressed at work--
I'm nervous but excited about Robin's birthday celebration coming up later this week--I guess me and B.f. are going to get to finally meet her new boyfriend! So this is a major source of excitement, but I'm a wee bit nervous as well seeing as I want to make a good impression and not embarass anyone, least of all myself...
