... is what? Me, at the moment. My stomach feels as if it's trying to climb up out of my throat and it h-u-r-t-s! I'm staying home from work today because, being awake since 2:30am, I'm not going to be much use to anyone.

Blah.

Born today, you are never more content than when you are working in a creative way on the issues that affect the world around you. To say you are socially conscious is an understatement; you are destined to play a major role in the world's events, even if you are not widely recognized for it. You're not in it for fame or notoriety; rather, you are content if your efforts have an impact on those around you, and you are perfectly happy to be the unsung hero. You are widely recognized as one who has the best interests of others at heart, and what you do always comes from a place of sincere care for those in need. This doesn't mean that you ignore your own needs or the needs of family and friends -- but there are certainly times in which others, unknown to you, enjoy the greatest benefits of your actions.

Love and friendship are key elements in your life. Once you make a friend, you can be sure that he or she will be a friend for life -- even if you don't see each other for long periods of time. When you do reconnect, it will most often seem as if no time has gone by at all, for you maintain a kind of spiritual connection that matters more than the usual, fleeting, one-on-one relations that others foster.

Ian has Karate today and then I'm spending the whole night studying. Roo is usually down by 6pm now, and Sean's going out with his Mom, so that leaves me and Ian. Since he's usually doing his own thing, that leaves me with a lot of time to study.

I'm getting boring in my old age.

Sean woke up feeling much better this morning, so we decided to enjoy the weather by going to Busch Gardens.

My ticket got lost. He swears that it's my fault (as usual), but isn't it funny that he had his and Ian's ticket? Hmm... Anyway, we got to the park and stood on line at Guest Services to get a replacement. There, we found out that another one of the lovely changes is a $5.00 service charge for a replacement ticket. Sean was furious about that because, really, it's just a piece of paper that's printed out. They used to be hard plastic, but not any more. So, we now pay $5.00 for a piece of paper.

After that we stood on line to find out that Sean's ticket was expired. No email warning, no letter in the mail saying we should renew, nothing. So back to Guest Services we go to stand on line again. Finally it's our turn and we decide to get the same package for a year. Well, prices have gone up (of course). We decide to do the monthly payment plan and the woman tries to entice us by saying if we pay for 2 years we save $40. Now, to me, that isn't saving money because we're buying another year at a $40 discount which means were're actually paying more than we wanted to in the first place. I told her no and that we certianly didn't want 2 years because who even knows if the park will still be there in 2 years?

This was, apparently, the wrong thing to say. She was not happy about  my comment and she made sure I knew about it.

Customer service at Busch Gardens has a long way to go....

Well, so much for my planning of going to the midnight release of the Twilight DVD (hi, I'm 12!). Sean got sick at work and came home, took a shower, and then disappeared into the bedroom.

I'm pretty sure he's down for the count. He's blaming it on the white bread he ate (we haven't had white bread on over a month) but I think he has the creeping crud that's going around.
