Peoples of the internet, I am sick again. Fever, sore throat, fatigue, meh, etc. Also, a weird pounding in my left ear. Or, in visual form, like this:

The interesting thing about the Death Blarg is that it's so variable from day to day that it's hard to quantify whether I feel "better" or "worse." On any given day, I might have fever, chills, a sore throat, a raspy cough, no voice, congestion, sneezing, and/or a miserably runny nose--but never all of them at once, and each day one symptom is ( Read more... )

Internets, I regret to inform you that I am dying of blarg. ( Read more... )

I have a horrible sore throat at the moment, but you know what I also have? Readers who thank me for putting up a tip jar. You guys are amazing, seriously ( Read more... )

I seem to have come down with a nasty stomach bug--the kind where you have those sporadic clutching pains--and so we're just going to put Secret Life off until Saturday. I'm in pain and surviving on toast and Coke at the moment, and it took me two hours to put this entry together. We'll make it through somehow ( Read more... )

So I'm feeling better. Not great; still pretty weak, kind of wrung out, but I think my stomach's stable now. Also, I got that Coke I wanted ( Read more... )

Not better. Not dying, but not better. Nor is my internet, because I couldn't bring myself to call Charter--half afraid I'd have to hang up and flee mid-call. Mostly just trying to hydrate at this point. Really, really want a Coke for some reason. There is no Coke. Woe.

(I love how everyone's blaming the sparkle candy. Worst endorsement ever ( Read more... )

... that I woke up with some hideous stomach bug and have been down for the count most of the day. As insult to injury, the internet on my own computer is down and I can't get it to come back up--may have to call Charter to reset the signal or WTFever, I don't even know. Not Happy. Also, haven't eaten anything today, for obvious reasons, which is ( Read more... )
