Another Sick Day and Alice in Wonderland on Blu-Ray

Alice in Wonderland

It started with Kaitlyn and a runny nose last Friday. By Sunday, Ryan had a heavy cough and I had a completely stuffed up nose. I kept Ryan home from school yesterday, and then again today when I heard him still coughing. I hate being sick. I hate having to constantly blow my nose.

My plane ticket is paid for, I booked a car service to pick me and my roommate up from the airport, and I paid my roommate for my half of the room charge ahead of time. I've been looking forward to this trip for months.
