It's not really any better, but it's moved into its next stage. It's lodged in my throat for now, so I'm doing my best not to cough. By tomorrow it will be into the chest and I'll be hacking the lungs out. I know how my colds go. I've got cough drops, TheraFlu and Comtrex to hand to subdue the worst of the symptoms. Still, they all leave me feeling woozy so I'm stuck at home being bored to death.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

I'd like some fast time, Lee. Can we trade? Days are moving very slowly indeed, though I'm still not getting everything done that I should be.
Also, I'd like to remember what it's like to wake up with my nose clear. Which has nothing to do with slow or fast. I'm just sick of waking up to sinuses as clogged as rush hour traffic.

Up with the sun
Susan, itchiness sucks. For some reason (possible TMI alert) the seam in the bra I'm wearing today is driving me nuts, and somehow not being able to scratch makes the itching worse.
And I'm in total agreement that it should have been Friday DAYS and DAYS ago. I wasn't even in the office Monday, and I still feel this week has been about a thousand years long.
Also, (((((Nora)))) and permission to wallow to Steph.

I think my mom just actually accepted my "It's not an issue now" argument for shutting the marriage talk up.

Morning or whatever. I have about an hour before I have to head in. It's nice having the extra time to sit around, but I'd rather get off 2 hours early since I was already ready for work on time.

Mostly lurking...
Ok...I've answered three questions on my take-home final. I can take a break now, right?
No, you say? I still have five more to go? Damn.

Susan, if it is eczema, I cannot recommend DermaSmoothers highly enough. It's prescription body oil, and it works wonders.

Right now I just hope she'll be able to look at it on Monday and know. Well, that, and that there will be a treatment available to make it go away for good.

The other thing my dermotologist gave me was ProTopic, which made it itch like hell for a few hours, but cleared it up completely in a couple of days. (Sadly, winter came back, and once the humidity level drops below a certain point, my skin freaks the fair fuck out. I never had any skin problems at all until a few years ago -- not even teenage acne -- and I think my skin was starting to feel left out as the only working organ system in my body. Now we're all one big happy chronically broken organism.)
