Guh, five hours since my dentist visit, and I still don't have full sensation back in my lip. Now I remember why I usually don't bother with an anesthetic and just suffer through the few painful minutes of procedure. Glad I was working from home today, cause it looks ridiculous, too.

Ugh, an unintended souvenir I brought home seems to be a flu bug caught in the plane. Got the first symptoms Tuesday evening, which is exactly the right amount of days later. Have I mentioned how much I dislike flying? This is another reason: it's like Russian roulette. Winning the lottery is harder. Though to be honest, I've caught a few colds on ( Read more... )

One patch of icy road, a couple cyclists coming the other way, and bam, I got acquainted with the icy road quite a bit more up close and personal than I'd have liked.

Everything seems to still be in working order (though I seem to have scraped my elbow on my sweater -- it can't have been the street through four layers of cloth), bones are ( Read more... )

Apparently, this holiday has decided to end with a post-holiday cold. And it was doing so well....

I have to get back to work tomorrow, I do not have time for this sort of nonsense. Does anyone know a miracle cure for colds? Guess not, huh. *stocks up on paracetamol, tissues and cough tablets ( Read more... )

Over the past three days, while battling the Cold From Hell (has anyone ever figured out how to get to sleep without first spending an hour or two coughing your lungs out?), I managed to produce two brand-new Jericho ficlets.

I should be enjoying a relaxing day off from work and write some fic, after an intensive course day yesterday. Instead, I'm sick with a cold: stuffy head that aches (a.k.a. brain ded), sore throat, coughing, sneezing, the works. *glares at germs ( Read more... )

... or cupboard. Or whatever the correct word is in English, since the Dutch term is the same no matter what.

(Catching up from yesterday's boycott)

Well, after much more investigative work on my blog (OpenID has also stopped functioning, which is another plugin that requires communication with the outside world), I'm fairly certain it's a change to the PHP settings my host recently made. They claim it's for security reasons, but if those measures means ( Read more... )

Had to go to the dentist today… have to go back again in December to get two molars filled… urgh!

Anyway, since the dentist office is right around the corner from where my new home is being built, I used the opportunity to take another quick look… and again be disappointed by the lack of apparent progress being made!
