Still using the Leech Jar icon, but doing better

Yesterday I put on a smidge of makeup (concealer, eyebrows, eyeliner, mascara), proper clothing, and Left The House! To go to the doctor's office for a B12 + Other Stuff shot, to help me get over this Death Blarg Plague thing.

And I *am* getting over it. Slowly, but it's happening. I'm not constantly coughing and sniffling anymore, and my throat doesn't feel like I'm constantly swallowing shards of glass. The main thing I'm still dealing with is the exhaustion. Like, sleeping 11 hours a night, then maybe having a nap later -sort of exhaustion. Ugh. But today I have felt well enough to do a couple of loads of laundry, and am making a tiny bit of progress on writing. My big goal is to be well enough to go to Noc-Noc on Friday night for sistawendy's transition party. I'm not going to dance, because that way lies exhaustion and a potential relapse, but by God, I AM GETTING DRESSED UP AND GOING OUT ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

My other goals are to put up and decorate the tree, and make gingerbread bats. I don't know if those are going to happen, because I am under orders from the doctor, the Stroppy One, and cupcakegothmom (hi Mom!) to not overdo things. I really WANT to do those things, because it's December 9th, for goodness sake, and I'd like to start feeling some holiday spirit ANY TIME NOW. But I don't want holiday spirit at the expense of, oh, being healthy and able to do things.

You may have already seen this, but it is still amusing.

I feel for you, dear. You've been so sick all year. I hope Santa Claws brings you a healthy immune system because you sure could use one. *****HUGGS***** I hope you've been snuggling Clovis Bunny through all of this. Critters are such wonderful security blankets.

put my name on that list as well.

And that's about where I am: awake for about 6-8 hours, nap for 4-6 hours, awake for 6-8 hours, nap for 4-6 hours. rinse & repeat.

Eat what I can, when I can.
