And that’s that!

There was a wait at the nail place (totally worth it and the two people ahead of me decided it wasn’t, lol) and then I went ahead and tackled the grocery shopping, then home to clean out the fridge to make room for the new stuff, tidy up the apartment as best I could without going bonkers and I’m done I tell ya! It’s not perfect, but it’ll do. Spectrum’s arriving around 5pm tomorrow so I wouldn’t expect any updates until he leaves on Monday, lol. I’m going to be mostly avoiding the computer for more amusing pastimes.

last night and this one–way too busy to blog, even. I’m getting what needs to be done, done, but it’s a fight along with trying to get rid of the blasted sniffles! Who ever heard of getting a head cold AFTER battling full-on bronchitis??? Try to be more talkative tomorrow night if the to-do list doesn’t get the best of me!

But only just. So I slept through the majority of the weekend which means I’m a bit behind the eight ball but this is nothing new: I merely have a better excuse this time. Intent on not falling behind I picked up dinner on the way home so I could get right to work when I hit the door. I had to bribe my way through finalizing three articles (with chapters from “Grave Apparel”) and force-march my way through tomorrow’s Random Acts… (which is much better art-wise than last week, when the cold just killed whatever talent I generally pretend to have) while listening to the end of Charmed Season 5 play on Minnie. I feel like I haven’t really stopped since I got home. And work wasn’t much better. I need another day off!

Anyway, with Spectrum coming for a visit this weekend I really need to get caught up on everything AND maybe get a little ahead so that I can fully enjoy his visit without having to squeeze work in. Meanwhile nothing really wants to give me a break, so I deal. Also gotta fit taxes in ASAP, at least to make sure I don’t owe anything with the extra 3rd quarter income I ended up with. Yay writing, boo self-employment taxes. Yay being responsible and taking care of them!

And it was a productive two hours, too. 2-3 hours seems to be my limit right now for being up and productive. The most taxing thing I’ve done today after getting home around 10:30 was unload/reload the dishwasher. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll find some energy. After my second nap I noticed that my voice is coming back–still gravelly, but improving, and then pain in my throat isn’t quite as bad. My neck is rather swollen, though. I’m hoping that goes away tomorrow. One thing I shouldn’t be able to complain about, now, is getting enough sleep! Now heading for more meds and bed for the night. I had thought the cough syrup wasn’t working well at all, last night, since it didn’t seem to help the congestion or the cough, but today I figured out I wasn’t taking enough. Always a trick, right?

It’s bronchitis. I hurt. And I still have to go to work tomorrow to at least run a batch of payables checks. The apartment is littered with juice bottles and crumpled tissues and everything else scattered hither and yon. Going to bed, again.
