WHOOPS. Surprise time-warp.

March ended sorta dovetailing between sadness over well-trodden paths falling away, and looking forward to new directions. Owing to the especially persistent case of the flungus (lung-fungus) I caught from the boycreature last week, I haven't been able to do much volunteering lately. Also Miss A has ceased needing regular ( Read more... )

Hokay, sinus pressure: mostly down. Barking cough with a side order of lung-butter: only sometimes. Like when the boycreature finally gets to bed and wants to fall asleep quickly (sorries :c) Verdict is: my body is finally making the long, slow army-crawl back to health, so I get to stop acting like I'm sick now because being in / on the bed all ( Read more... )

It's a trial run to see if (1) I can handle budgeting my time around doubled commute hours and probably quadrupled amounts of walking, and (B) it saves money in the long run ( Read more... )

( Today's doodlething is brought to you by a combination of long-term anxieties and (I hope) temporary chest infection. )

The last traces of that flu-bug I was pretty sure I had beat last week, until I realized the morning-and-evening coughing fits just weren't going away?

This morning it is gone rom my nose. It is gone from my throat. It is now hiding out IN THE BASE OF MY TONGUE. Just... I don't... how does this even happen??? 8|
