well, two nights of crappy-ass sleep has made me sick. sore throat, nasal congestion. it isn't incapacitating, but i'm taking advantage of my boss' germ-phobia and staying away from work until i feel better.
when i woke up this morning i was fanatical about swallowing vitamin c and echinacea, as well as lots and lots of juice. the sore throat was miraculously gone by noon or so.
the congestion stuck around, but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from cancelling my dinner date with she-dork... especially since she & KSA have been having such a rough time lately. my eyeballs would have had to be bleeding to keep me from treating them to dinner.
i stepped out the door on my way to meet them, and was greeted by an overwhelming scent of honeysuckle. it's hugely it in bloom in my back yard, and is intermingling with some kind of rose (?) bush back there, and as i was taking this photo i thought of that fats waller song, "honeysuckle rose":
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you're passin' by, flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up
When I'm takin' sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
the first two verses of that song are so sweet. the last two are more lewd than i recall.
