Y'know how I was complaining yesterday about feeling awful. Today is worse. I feel like I am fighting off the flu combined with a couple weeks of insomnia. Neither of which is true, but that's what it feels like.

I know one of the causes: I've recently added another antibiotic to the medication regime, and that has spiked a herxheimer reaction. So I'm doing what I can to get the toxins out of my system. But understanding what is going on doesn't make it any easier.

I had two different birthday parties to attend today - that's not happening. I'm hoping I'll have enough energy to get some writing done tonight, or embroider more Cranky!Bloomers for next weekend's Mourning Market. But I'm trying to remind myself that I don't HAVE to do those things, and that rest is just as important as Getting Things Done. Let's see if I listen to myself, shall we?

To be honest, today has SUCKED. Exhaustion, muscle aches, headache, and phone calls that needed to be made, but were unpleasant.

I devoutly hope tomorrow is better, and that the phone call that is happening tomorrow is VERY pleasant.

I am having a bad day. For a variety of reasons.

Today's administering of sub-q fluids to Tzepesh was not as smooth or easy as yesterday's, and he hasn't eaten since Tuesday. We are going back to the vet today.

Also, the Stroppy One is feeling decidedly under the weather, I've had a combination of a stress and sinus headache for three days, and I can't concentrate enough on anything to work on the writing that NEEDS to be done.

I would like a do-over of this year, thanks. I would also like to curl up, take a very long nap, and have someone gently wake me with a tray of scones, tea, and maybe some storybooks they would read to me. Alternately, I would like to be transformed into a vampire and go on a killing spree. Either option is fine with me.

Tell me cheering things?

Guess who foolishly over-extended herself over the weekend? I (and a whole bunch of very wonderful friends) have been helping Dad clear out and organize the house. I did this both Saturday and Sunday, and while I *thought* I was not pushing myself physically, I forgot (okay, fine, willfully ignored) the toll that the emotional and mental work would exact.

::attempts to dodge the Stern Looks and Lectures from certain friends, swears to be more aware of this stuff in the future::

So anyway, today is one of those days where I am EXCEEDINGLY grateful that my tech editing gig is primarily work-from-home. I am now coated in

staxxy's magical Kiss It Better ointment, and am ensconced on the sofa with two laptops (work and personal), a stack of writing notebooks, tea,

clovisdvlbunny, and Nightmare Before Christmas on in the background. (With three other Tim Burton movies waiting by the TV, because oh my, is this a comfort movie day.)

For those of you who suggested trying the "High Quality Food" that we found in the back of the pantry: No. We took a picture for history, and then threw it out. Other things we have found tucked away include the senior year portraits of my Mom and Dad (let me tell you, my parents have always been cute!), my paternal grandmother's wedding photo, and my report card from my sophomore year of high school. (3.33 GPA, thankyouverymuch.) Yes, the Stroppy One will be scanning all of them when he is done with his current deadline, and then I will post them.

Okay, back to the dayjob. Wow, I am tired and feel like I've been beaten with sticks. Ugh.

Today: not great. I was blindsided by a wave of missing Mom last night, right when we were settling down to go to sleep. I hate crying in general, but especially when I'm trying to go to sleep. So I have that post-crying hangover feeling today.

Also, I'm just tired and achy. Which is another reason for the ugh. Thank goodness I am working from home today, with tea and cats and comfort movies.

In addition to the dayjob, I need to respond to several emails (dear

staysonpaper, I got your message! I will reply enthusiastically today!), organize stuff for this weekend, and ... drat. I'm forgetting something. Augh!

But seriously. Not in a great headspace right now. I know it happens, and it will happen, but I still don't like it. Send distractions.

(Ooooh, speaking of distractions:

ailleann23 posted a link to Brendon Urie of Panic at the Disco covering "Science Fiction Double Feature" (clicky-link!) While I am not usually a PatD fan (I think they're okay, but they don't make me go all flailyhands), there is something about this video that makes me grin. So adorable!) (Which tangentially reminds me:

jaborwhalky, tell me the gossip!)

So the question is now cold or flu? And whooo, do I feel wretched. The Stroppy One let me sleep until 11:30 (blessed, blessed Nyquil-enhanced sleep), and now I am either too hot or too cold, woozy, and have a kinda consumptive-sounding cough. This is not what I asked for, I would like to return it.

Ugh. Flopping on the couch it is.

I am working from home today, nursing a very upset stomach. After working from home yesterday so I could take care of some assorted errands. But considering I slept two hours past the alarm, and am feeling washed-out and queasy, going to the office was not an option. So today involves editing a whitepaper, answering emails, and maybe having some Hammer Horror Dracula movies playing in the background.

Yeah, I feel pretty wretched, actually. Please send distractions, preferably in the form of proper vampires, pretty boys in eyeliner, or clicky-links to stripy blazers.

Let's see, my subconscious decided to torture me with upsetting dreams, I couldn't wake up this morning, traffic was well and truly dire on the way to work, and today is the one-year anniversary of my being laid off from my full-time job at the Giant Software Company.

I'm hoping the rest of the day markedly improves.

Hello horrible sinus migraine, I didn't invite you. Today is now about working from home, drinking lots of tea, and thinking longingly of drilling a hole in my skull to release the pressure and/or the sinus demons.

Of course, the final rancid sprinkles on the top of this crankycake is that I'm having a(nother, because yesterday wasn't that great, either) bad brain chemistry day, and the Monsters of Low Self-Esteem and warming up for a comeback performance. I'm doing my damnedest to ignore them, but you people telling me good things or giving me clicky-links of distraction would be lovely, too.

The Closet Culling Sale is being POSTPONED.

Those allergies I've been fighting off? Weren't allergies. I appear to have some form of flu. Local folks, consider myself and the Stroppy One quarantined. (EDITED TO ADD: The Stroppy One is NOT showing any signs of being unwell. But he's not going to go do any socializing, just in case.)

Dammit, dammit, dammit. As soon as I'm well, the clothing sale will happen.
