on the mend?
Despite coughing all day yesterday, mostly due to a tickle in my throat, I think I'm nearly over this crap. Still coughing a bit, but nothing really coming up--feels like normal sinus drainage which I have all the time. I'm going to my parents' for the first time since I caught the cold. Haven't seen them in two weeks except for about a minute at their car when they dropped some stuff off last week. Feels weird.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping in 76 degree weather. Last Monday I had my manicure so I couldn't wear gloves when I went shopping and my hands froze--it was like 30 degrees I think. 78 today.
Chance for snow showers overnight.
Yeah, I'm so over this shit.
78 is too warm. The rest of the week, after 40s tomorrow, should be in the 60s which is much better. Not that my house is at all warm. I keep it locked up, blinds pulled, 24/7, so I still had the heating pad on last night and it was 63 in the house when I got up this morning. It'll take a while to warm up and need the AC.
Sidenote: I think there's something in the basement of this 150 year old building that's making me cough. Probably the original sandstone I'm sitting two feet from. *sigh*
So, TV last night, pretty much excellent. I'm still enjoying Star Crossed but really, really looking forward to the very dark The 100 which starts next week. Also enjoyed the first ep of Resurrection. Watched last week's Helix with the reveal. I figured aliens so was wrong there. The preview annoyed me with its spoiler for a survival. Bitten continues to be enjoyable enough but now I remember what irked me about the werewolves in the books so much--the whole idea that women are too weak to become them and also shouldn't be allowed to raise their male werewolf babies. For a series about WOMEN these two things are pretty misogynistic. Of course Teen Wolf rocked majorly. Peter. :) Peter's presence always makes me happy. He actually showed true concern for Lydia, too. Also really loved the aftershow with the two Hales. Ian discussing having to be shirtless next to Tyler H. was pretty funny. He's got a great bod, though.
I fell a bit behind on tv watching as I was reading this really great, very long Peter/Stiles fic.
SHIELD with Lady Sif tonight. :)
Also, Originals but no SPN, weird. Though in two weeks it's the other way around.
Well, KU is either screwed or will rally around the injured Embiid. He's out for the Big 12 tournie and probably the first weekend of the NCAA tournie so we'll be lucky to win any games. If Black can stay out of foul trouble (ala the Texas Tech game which was his best of the year and not the WV game during which he got his first foul on the first play) we have a chance. I dunno about this team. Even if we get a number one seed I doubt I'll have them making it out of the Sweet 16 in any of my brackets. Reality over loyalty, I guess.
We play the first game of the Big 12 Thursday at 2:00. Yeah, I'm thrilled. I can watch it at work--boss is fine with that as he'll be doing the same--but I still have to deal with the phone and people coming in. This is why I'm taking the first two days of the NCAA tournie off work; even if KU plays in the evening, I don't like the interruptions to my basketball watching.
Okay, lots of work to do...
