My RL is rather stressful at the moment, and since yesterday I have a nasty cold on top of everything else. (Thanks a lot, body. Not.) Anyway last night I woke several times both from shivers as well as from weird suffocation nightmares in which I peeled sticky layers of mucus out of my throat (even though my cough and sore throat aren't all that ( Read more... )

I just woke up from my throat and tonsils hurting. I don't feel that sick (*crosses finger that this stays so*), so maybe my tonsils will still manage to pull off some self-sacrificing immune system thing, and the cold will remain as a sore throat. Either way right now swallowing hurts. Well, I guess that's one way to keep overindulgence in sweets ( Read more... )

So the mildly sore throat I had for the last two days? That was apparently my immune system fighting a loosing battle against something, since as of this morning I have a nasty, somewhat painful cough that doesn't do much to dislodge the gunk in my lungs, my noose is completely clogged and producing disgusting amounts of snot, my throat still hurts ( Read more... )

Dustin got the last dose of his antibiotic yesterday afternoon and the wheezing as well as the soft clicking sounds he made while breathing are mostly gone again. It seems his breathing is now back to like it has been for the last few months, i.e. there are still some odd noises, especially after he runs or scuffles, but you don't hear all sorts of ( Read more... )

...and it's incredible how much of the street noise is gone because everybody is watching football. Also this afternoon public transportation was insane, and it's not even as if the opening match was here. I've never seen so many people wearing jerseys, colors, and even ridiculous hats and carrying flags around. And on my way home, when the game ( Read more... )

I present you with a Conflicted!RatCreature icon, a RatCreature subjected to warring influences... *g*
