kjpepper | Plague Monkey get up, get cough drops

Yeah, I'm sick. I really should have realized I was losing the battle when the inside of my nose got all sore and sensitive (which it usually does when I'm fighting off something major). But this sucks. I'm still at the tight, painful coughing stage (yes, that's what I meant by hacking in the previous entry, damn you). You know where if you keep doing it all the internal organs under your diaphragm start to feel bruised? yeah. Not to mention the sudden inability to maintain my body temperature and the general overall bruisy sore muscle feeling that says I'm going to be utterly miserable tomorrow. Yay.

The good news is I'm probably past contagious. Which is good because I still plan to go over to

grinninfoole and

millari's for pot roast and BSG in a half hour. I'll just be the sad plague monkey in the corner by the wood stove. Meep. The problem is I daresay everyone who is not sick yet but is still going is carrying the Death Plague microbes anyway. Maybe we should bring some Lysol spray for after we leave. :P

ETA: in other news, I am on doctor's orders to take three half hour long hot baths in slightly salty water a day. O_o No I'm serious. The thing is, other than grumbling over the general shortness of the bathtub (man I was spoiled by my parents antique claw-foot) it's actually sort of nice to be ordered to soak in hot water more than once a day. Forgot how actually relaxing that is. Woot.
