The electrics work--the engine just makes a clicky noise when I try and start it up. So I think it needs professional help.
DAMN, I'm cold. Two blankets, fleece jammy pants, long sleeves. So now I'm trying a heating pad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Make a hot water bottle. Got a nalgene or similar water bottle? Fill it with boiling (or at least hot) water, screw lid on tightly, and snuggle. That's a trick we use at snow camp.
t eta Also, sounds like your car's starter went out. It's better to leave that for professional help - kinda PITA to get at and replace.

ita, do you have a fever? I hope you feel better soon, whatever the cause.
I'm just sleepy, so tired that I can't stop yawning, and my eyes are constantly tearing up, which is what they do when I get this tired. I probably should get some Diet Coke to wake me up, but I'm trying to cut back on how much soda I drink. (I've already had a 20-oz bottle and a 32-oz cup of it before lunch was finished).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Night, msbelle! I'm glad you're doing okay. Rest and relax and heal.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I woke up at noon. Then after eating "breakfast" I wound up laying down on the couch until about 5:30 because I am dizzy on one side of my head. I really don't have time to be sick! I have too much packing and stuff to do! A tiny bit of health~ma, just what is left over from msbelle and Theo's mom, would be appreciated.

Nighty night, msbelle!
Rebroadcast tomorrow of pretty Mars Rover Nat'l Geo special:
"Five Years on Mars," a high-definition visualization of the journeys of the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, will re-air Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 8 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel.
Using photo-realistic animation based on the actual landscape as captured by the rovers’ cameras, the one-hour special dramatizes the trials and tribulations of the robotic explorers while highlighting new scientific information on the planet's geology and water history.
When the JPL-managed rovers touched down on Mars in 2004, they were expected to collect data over 90 Martian days, or "sols." But ninety days have stretched into almost five years, and a short-term science mission searching for evidence of ancient water has turned into one of the greatest adventures of the Space Age. The rovers have trekked miles across hostile plains, climbed mountains, ventured in and out of deep craters, gotten stuck in sand dunes, and survived dust storms and mechanical failures.
