On Life During the Time of Not-So-Very-Plaguey
So this cold? Kind of kicking my ass. I called out on Tuesday and somehow managed to survive my 6 hour shift today. I am getting all the sleep in the world. My co-workers mock me for carrying around my little box of Puffs with Vicks. I threaten them with my germs. I only had one coughing fit that lasted for about 8 mins and had to keep stepping away from my register to cough into my elbow. I still count it as a win. No passing out on the front end, also a victory. Tomorrow is a 6am-2pm shift, full 8 hours, but hopefully I will be feeling much better.
Just, ugh. I really don't get sick that often but when I do it's like a total assualt on my immune system. And then I probably make it worst by being the stubborn brat I am by doing far too much during said sick-time. I'm basically trying to invade Russian during winter: there's no way in hell I'm going to win, but I'll go down trying.
In other news:
I am in a complete and utter Austen re-watch and re-read mode. Sunday, after the horrific ending of work, I just wanted to come home and watch some Persuasion as it is my favorite tale of all the Austens and I'm pretty attatched to the movie and mini-series. Then from there I had to go through all the rest and now I've gone to the re-reading. Time for my horrible genre-loving confessions. I love the basically fanfic published Austen books out there. The Fitzwilliam Darcy series: all time fav.
Anyway, I just really want a Pacific version of Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion right now with Snafu and Sledge. I'll take either, I'm not picky. We'll blame it all on the cold meds.
Of course, I'd take an Emma-fusion as well, but I just can't decide who would be Emma. Hmm.
I own Inception now, which led me back to re-reading the fic (I burnt myself out on it in less than a month. That's some kind of new record.) And god, if only the rec comms were still active. I'm so lost over the what-to-read.
I am so very close to finishing the first draft of the story that will not end but I'm stuck right now b/c everything just keeps coming out awkward. Which, okay, part of that is because it has to be awkward, but there's a difference between, you know, tone and setting, and 'right, this shit just does not work.' I'm about to go back to pen and paper writing. It always seems to flow easier there. I am so very old school.
