Well, I've been awake for an hour. I guess I'm used to getting up early now, even despite the sickness and the half bottle of rum I downed last night to make sure I would sleep. Fat lot of good that did -- I was up every hour. But the phlegm's moved down to my throat so I can cough it up, even if that means I have no voice. Sorry, little TMI there.
I'm hoping that this means I can get some serious NaNoing done today. I'm around the 3000 mark, which is not good at all as the first week winds down. If I can pull 7-9000 out this weekend, though, I'll be happy.
Dad's getting a shot this morning in his back, so I have to watch Sarah. Not too difficult, as she's still sick as well, so sitting on the couch, moaning about how bad we feel to our respective Kleenex boxes and slushes will work with her. It's actually a little odd -- she's been sick for about three more days than I have, but we're about at the same place now. Maybe I'm just used to this sort of cold/bronchitis. Or maybe I actually blow my nose instead of just wiping it. O' course, she doesn't have the bright red, rough skin that I do now around my nostrils, but hey, I'm getting sicker quicker.
Sorry. I guess being up early screws with my sense of what's decent and what isn't. And no, I won't LJ cut this. Take that. I'd give you all a hug and kiss to make it better, but...
Nah.
