Dec. 14th, 2008 05:08 pmFor those of you who were expecting something from me this weekend, either via e-mail or phone call or Thing Accomplished... sorry. Could not brain, had the Ugh.
Spent the past two days either huddled on the sofa or tucked into bed, waiting for my usual healthy self to show up. The cats helped, bracketing me on either side until I couldn't have gotten up even if I'd wanted to (ever notice a sleeping cat weighs 3x its awake weight?). Couldn't even read or watch a movie-with-plot, because my attention span was about 10 minutes, tops, and then I dozed off. Thanks god for SciFi's Bad Movie Guarantee (they guarantee that if you turn to them during the weekend, they will be running a bad movie. And OMG, ads for "Shark in Venice." Starring Stephen Baldwin, of course).
Inhaling wonton soup seemed to help with the Ugh -- I drank 3 quarts of the stuff over the weekend. Don't want to think about my sodium levels right now. Wonton soup and Tylenol severe cold meds. And a lot of sleep. My sleep deficit has been paid. Bored now.
Am at about 3/4 capacity now, but that will have to do. Thankfully my big plans this week involve wrapping presents, baking cookies and doing year-end filing/database close-out. 3/4 capacity should be able to handle that...
also: Seattle got snow and we didn't? Where's the justice in that? I demand a recount!
EtA: I am amused to note that I handle Chronic stuff much better than I do random cold or flu bugs. I've made my peace with internal hardware glitches -- since they won't let me return it for a refund -- but external viruses? They make me all sorts of cranky.
