It progresseth.

I decided to take Benadryl last night to help deal with runny nose.  It definitely helped, and I ended up taking a second dose around 4 AM.  That had the unsurprising effect that when the alarm went off I was still rather druggy from it.  I dozed while Huz was in the shower, and it felt like no time had passed AT ALL.  Got up, had breakfast, emailed work folks to let them know that I'd be home again today (but would try to get some computer work done) and went back to bed. 

I definitely slept; I had a number of slightly weird dreams, including one that it was Thanksgiving morning and we found that the turkey we were supposed to cook was still frozen solid, and wondering what the heck we were going to do - grocery stores would be closing soon, and we couldn't quite decide whether we should go out and try to acquire another meal entirely, or what.  I woke up again around 11:30 - hmm, think I needed the sleep!

I did in fact manage to do some work.  Our inaccurately-named quarterly reports are supposedly due tomorrow, and so I spent a couple of hours grabbing screenshots of Drosophila beat-IIIb protein and alignments and stuff.  (It's complicated; don't ask.)  And I called hotels in New Haven to get a room for Huz's reunion in May.  That's about all I did that could be considered useful, and it was tiring!  Napped from 4:30 or 5 till about 6.

And I'm looking forward to bed soon.  And a shower, to clear my nasal passages, yay!  Think I'll try going to bed without medication, and see what happens.  Nose hasn't been nearly as runny as yesterday.

Glad you're starting to improve. Sounds like this thing has really hit you hard, I'm glad you're taking it easy and getting plenty of rest. I'm still needing my nebulizers every 3 hours or so, which is a drag, and my head and sinuses and ears are still grossly clogged, but slowly, S-L-O-W-L-Y improving.

Take care and feel better soon.
