Well, That's Been Interesting
I am feeling utterly done in.
It was going to be a busy week anyway--there was a drive to visit friend three cities over through torrential downpours on Wednesday, a late-starting Shonen Knife concert on Thursday, a demo and meet and greet for new white belt students and their parents at Ros' martial arts school on Friday and tickets to the musical Chess yesterday. And that on top of a hellishly busy week at work.
Except Ros developed a minor fever Friday morning, which turned into markedly less minor fever over the course of the day. She's now been spiking fevers of 103-104 for three days. In between the spikes, she's either in a manically good mood of the "I don't have a fever and I feel GREAT" variety, or lying on the couch glassy-eyed and unhappy. (We had to ditch the martial arts demo, and I ended up seeing Chess with a friend whilst the Sweetie stayed home with Ros. We traded off today, with me staying with Le Ros while he went to the After Dark film fest he'd planned on ages ago. He is, hopefully, going to see Chess later this week. It's a brilliant production and it would be a shame for him to miss it.)
Add all of this to finishing the death march to finish my Pros Big Bang story, and I'm pretty much shattered. I was hoping I'd get at least one or two BB stories read this weekend, but that hasn't happened. (Bad mod.) And I was also hoping I'd maybe get a bit of work done on a few of the stories I'd put aside until I finished my BB story, but that didn't happen either. (I've got ideas, but I'm incapable of turning any of those ideas into actual words.)
The one thing I did manage was reading a bunch of A Storm of Swords during the times when Ros was cashed out on the couch but wanted her mom nearby. (In the wake of watching Game of Thrones, the Sweetie has started calling George R.R. Martin, George R'uh R'oh Martin, and yep, he certainly is giving me heart attack after heart attack in this one.) I should be done the book by tomorrow. Tuesday at the latest.
In the meantime, I'm going to hope Ros gets over whatever bug has taken her down soon--the time between fever spikes is getting longer, and she actually ate a real meal tonight for the first time since Friday, so she's getting there--and I'm going to let my brain have the fallow time it clearly needs at the moment.
::sigh::
For fun, have here's Shonen Knife's version of Top of the World. Yes, that would be The Carpenter's song.
