Blergh, part 2
Jan. 28th, 2009 05:00 pmI slept better than I expected last night (read=much better than none at all), but have been home sick all day. It was funny; I woke up several times last night, due to e.g. mouth being completely parched from mouth-breathing, and every time I woke up I could feel the stimulant effect of the Sudafed 12-hour stuff - but fatigue, happily, won out every time. It took me a bit longer to get back to sleep the final time (and, interestingly, I slept less solidly) when the cold decided to move from Totally Stuffy Dry Nose to Very Drippy Nose.
Anyway, it was a really good thing I didn't go to work. I had a nice semiconscious sitting-upright-while-listening-to-Librivox-submissions period of about 45 minutes this morning, and I just got woken up out of another nap. Variously miserable with itchy eyes, nose, sneezing etc, and kinda sorta okay, enough to do Mario Kart for an hour, catalog a Librivox project, and even take a 15-minute walk in the sunshine in the middle of the day. There's no way I could have gotten much done at work, and I would have given this cold to my work buddies. (If I didn't already yesterday.)
Huz is coming home soon! And he's buying me English muffins, which are (is?) one of my "I have a nasty cold" comfort foods. He was well enough to go to work, but is leaving an hour earlier than usual, for which I do not blame him.
Meh. I'll get better, I will.
Fluffy is also doing rather better. He saw the vet Monday, who found he had a fever and that the upper part of his favored leg was warm - consistent with a puncture wound, but no wound found. Wonder if he got a spider bite or something. He's been on pain medicine since, and is starting to put some weight on that foot. So yay Fluffy.
