I have had yet another rotten night; trying to counteract the sleepfail with daylight but there's only so much daylight here. Let's hope it helps. I cannot deal with being awake till 6am again I really can't. My cope is mostly run out.

1) The lady who helps out here is here, but she is omfg smoky. I'm hiding in my room while she does stuff in the rest of the house, and will have to open windows once she's gone. Except, this is risky cause there's a restaurant next door, and people outside it are... you guessed it, smoky. ARGH. GO WAY ASTHMA ATTACK DO NOT WANT ( Read more... )

but between the cold and the time change and I don't even know what my body is DOING just now I have had total sleep fail tonight and this is going to screw me up for days to come :( Well I know some of what it's doing; having failed at sleep for the last 6 hours it's going all wheezy so now I can't lie down properly either ( Read more... )

So... days are getting longer again, time to look at this last year.

And. This has been the worst year of my life. Yes, some good things happened. I loved WFC. And I'm loving co-editing ST. And I am so very glad I have an elsmi. (ETA: And, er, oh yeah, being nebula-nominated was pretty awesome too!) But this is the sickest I've ever been, for the ( Read more... )

Made it to Berkeley.
But we got two smoky "non-smoking" rooms in a row last night. The first one even had an ashtray.
Guess how happy the shwetalungs are. Yeah. Plz not to expect anything from me, still, again, continued :/

Bad news first: I'm still sick, and doubling the cortisol again for a couple days because, body, WUT, staying sort of semi-miserable for weeks on end = not okay. Also I may somehow have picked up another bug or something ( Read more... )
