Having foolishly drawn the attention of the cyber-gods to the fact I was feeling fairly chipper in general at the end of last week, Nemesis has predictably descended in the shape of a stinking head cold.  I've spent the last 4 days feeling as though someone's poured concrete into my skull, my sinuses ache, and my nose is red raw from being blown

Poor you! I take the time off when I have a cold, quickest way to get rid of it entirely and not have it hanging around for weeks.

Much more sensible than me - I tend to assume my personal universe will fall apart immediately if I go to bed (ridiculous) and so struggle along and take weeks to shake things off.

Have caved in today - the conference I was supposed to be going to down in Reading has been called off (one of our speakers cancelled on us due to snow/transport chaos) which seemed like a free gift of a recovery day.

See, the grumpy Elrond icon wanted out...

Achoo! Here, have a hankie, and I hope you feel very much better soon!

Thanks! (I've got through *so* many boxes of Kleenex Balsam this week...)

Am feeling much better today, thanks - still coughing a bit but much less bunged up and my sinuses have stopped throbbing, which was what was really making me miserable.

And my boss was finally convinced half an hour ago to make a decision and shut the Library at 5 today (since we're inches deep in snow, all the teaching has been cancelled and most of the staff who *are* here walked...) so I can grab another early night, which probably does more good than anything else!
