Sick

Meet my BFFs:

From the looks of my Tumblr dashboard, it seems like many of you are in the same unpleasant boat!

I’ve been doing great with my travel planning the last few days — I bought a one-way ticket to New Zealand!!! — but not so much with running. Post-nasal drip is the devil.

Here are my latest travel-planning posts on Answering Oliver:

Countdown to RTW: One Month! (with fun pics from indoor skydiving)

A One-Way Ticket With My Name On It

And for those of you who are trying to kick the soda/pop/Coke habit in 2012, check out this article:

It does some really scary stuff — even diet soda, which is probably worse because it tricks you into thinking it’s healthy-ish.

I realize it’s a full-on addiction for many people, so good luck with your efforts to quit! I promise that plain water is delicious (at least in the Pacific Northwest; California, your water SUCKS) and an addiction in its own right.
