ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On Wednesday I caught a cold from the registrar at lunch (she was buying us all pizza :( I knew I shouldn't sit next to her when her mask was off but pizza :( ), on Thursday afternoon I was coughing and it hurt my throat, woke up on Friday and decided I would work from home, sensibly went to the grocery store and farmer's market yesterday for supplies and made chicken soup with matzoh balls. Feel like ass today, went through a quarter of a box of tissues. I got them body aches and it sucks.

Trying to write a blog post for Jane Austen's World about Regency dueling. It's so hard, I can't think. But we've now hit the first stretch goal for the Kickstarter!

I was also preparing to post the second chapter of the OC/OC fic but it needs massive rewrites. I started out thinking I would just add a new section at the beginning to describe the lead-up from Rose's perspective and then tweak the rest, but "the rest" was definitely written to go through the motions to get me to The Good Stuff, and I don't know if I'd say it's Crap, Actually, but I suspect it needs more than tweaks. I copied and pasted it all into another doc for memorializing so I can feel free to really bash the main chapter into shape - cut whole sections out and so on.

THE KITTENS ARE SNUGGLINGGGGGGG. For the moment.

I hope your cold passes quickly!

Thanks! I feel a lot better this evening, but I feel like it always goes that way ... every morning is a struggle, and then by the end of the day you're thinking you're nearly over it.

....kittens? Am I forgetting something on a Monday morning?

Boo being sick boo :( Throw some ginger into that chicken soup!

[chocolatepot]

No, I just think of the cats as kittens on the rare occasions that they're sweet.

I meant to throw some ginger in, but then I looked at it and realized it had shrunk to a completely wizened knob in the fridge! I wasn't sure if it was actually ginger or just some sort of stem.

Isn't that so sad, when ginger fades away ...

You sure that's just a cold? Because I thought i had a cold, and 8 days later I'm still recovering from all the sinus congestion brought on by (thunder crash) the rona. Regardless, I hope it passes quickly, and mmmmmmm chicken sooooooup.

I'm prrrrrrretty sure it's just a cold, but that's largely based on gut feeling and a memory, possibly manufactured or from another time, of the registrar saying she tested herself and knew she didn't have covid. But I put in for more tests which will hopefully come tomorrow? or shortly after? and I can know for sure.

Feeling a lot better today, thanks! Guess I'll go back in to work tomorrow. :(
