Been down with some kind of flu/cold/nasty virus for the past five days.
Most of that time was spent sleeping, being depressed about health care reform (funny how when most of your brain is gone what's left tends to latch on to one particular thought), reading a webcomic of sorts (thanks John!), and generally being surly about the fact that this was the second time in four months that I had been bed-bound. Unusual for me...no idea if this was swine flu or just a seasonal bug, but it was still no fun. Of course, it also had to come along at a point where I had very little leave time saved up...which made its arrival over a paid holiday either fortuitous or doubly annoying, depending on your point of view.
On the upside(?), I got better at Lumines than any human has any right to be, and unlocked three new skins!. And discovered that it's just about the perfect game to play while stoned out on NyQuil, right before the sleep-crash.
No, I'm not quite 100% yet. But. I've spent enough time in bed, and I'm going to salvage what's left of the week at work, leftover sinus ick be damned.
Wish me luck getting through the day, everyone.

Here's hoping the upcoming appointment with Badger Nurse Awesome (which is totally my new band name) helps to get you back up to staggering, yourself.
