Plague - You're it!
Feb. 15th, 2007 06:03 pmOn top of my bronchial issues, I caught a cold. Probably at Capricon. I rested yesterday but today I had 2 job interviews so there was nothing to do but suck it up, take my drugs, and get on with it.
Pepper learned a new word today. "Out!" It means "oops - mom caught me in the bedroom again". I was kind of spaced out this morning and left the bedroom door ajar. Apparently she hadn't been in there too long, so she made a token effort at hiding and then hopped right back out. She KNOWS she's not supposed to be in there.
I was spaced out enough to forget both my book and my caffeine. Still, I think I did OK on the first one. It was a small real estate firm on Michigan Avenue. They used to own a couple of casinos, and there were waxworks of Dracula and Bing Crosby in the lobby. Afterwards I went across the street to Borders for white mocha and a read to kill time. Did some shopping-wandering (
seamstrix - I walked into Lush and coudn't smell a thing) and of course my temp started to break.. I was sweating enough to need to mop my face with a napkin. Took another dose of meds just in time for the 2nd one. It went very well, but an agency sent me over there so I'm not sure that I'm what they want AND they want at least SOME Saturdays. Sigh - would have been nice to know that before I hauled my ass out of bed!
I'm beat now, but at least my heat appears to be working properly. It's up to 72 in here. Hopefuly this afternoon's sweat-fest means I'm progressing thru this and just have to wait it out. I got one of those herbal bath thingies - Spruce - and I'm looking forward to a looooonnnngggg hot bath with it and then an early bed time.
At least I've not had to work during all of this. Still, it'd be nice to have a functioning immune system once in a while....
