For one thing, I am feeling a little better, but I also just clocked my temperature at 99.7. It's a new record!

That's not really why I am going to hell, though.

It's because I just saw an ad for this on tv:

So, last night, I threw one of my caps (fake teeth). It was positioned such that I was not willing to go to work without a reglue.

So, I called the dentist this morning and realized he does not work most Wednesdays. I called the emergency number, but pretty much resigned myself to waiting for the 7:30am appointment I had tomorrow anyway. I ( Read more... )

DexCon kind of tanked for me this year, but all for things that were pretty much my fault, so there's not much to complain about. Mostly it was a combination of being sick, having one of my rare episodes of really bad menstrual cramps. None of my games actually ran, mostly making me feel guilty that I didn't recruit harder. If I'd felt better, I ( Read more... )

I've been far too busy to post updates, so here's an aggregate.

I'm still a little sick, although this time 95% better. I was at 80% friday night, and then woke up Saturday coughing up phlegm bunnies, darnit. That killed the weekend and wednesday night plans. Sorry to those who expected to see me at DexCon last night.

Plus I have the leading edge of that flu that's been decimating the office. I am generally too ( Read more... )

The cold making the rounds of the office is of the head-cold-becomes-chest cold variety. As we know from my last post, my cubicle neighbor is a carrier.

This afternoon, I started coughing a little - just some dry throat. And I feel kind of tired and achey.

The thing is, by the pattern of things, I should be sniffly *before* coughing, and I don' ( Read more... )

The scene, this morning: My cubicle neighbor, M, was out sick monday and yesterday and today has been snorting like a bull thanks to nasal congenstion. As I worked, I heard snuffling and snorting. And then more snorting. I looked around my desk and took a paper towel off of the stack I keep there for small spills and toss it over the wall. There ( Read more... )

Throughout the trip to New Mexico, by father's wife was suffering through a nasty chest cold that had turned to bronchitis. I boarded the plane on Saturday, falsely confident in the fact that I was showing no symptoms.

I should be so lucky. My chest feels like it is lined with wet felt and I've been noticing the fatigue/lightheadedness that says ( Read more... )
