I think that codeine puts you in the perfect state of mind to watch him decorate and critique his technique.

the only bad thing about codeine is how fast it wears off. Hrm, i wonder if the pills last longer? I can't sleep more than 5 hrs at a time without a 1 hr break to hack and gag re-dose.

eta: well, that and constipation. easy to overlook with all the pros

i wonder if the pills last longer?

The scrip says 4x a day, so I guesstimate that as ~every 6 hours.

well, that and constipation.

Heh. I made sure to take a calcium/magnesium tonight. (That helps with moving things along in the pooping department.)

And with that, I should take my inflamed pleura to bed.

Yeah. Put on a construction hat and yell "Hey, baby, do you want some fries with that shake!"

Fuck you Heathrow, fuck you very much.

My flight home to Dublin has been cancelled, and so has G's home to Boston.

Merry Sodding Christmas.

Oh, Jars - that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear you've been caught up in the results of snow chaos. Hope you can have a nice Christmas just the two of you.

We're going to see my sister and nieces this afternoon (I'm feeling better enough to go, although not enough to do too much moving around generally). The snow has affected deliveries across the country so much that our presents for them haven't arrived - ordered from Amazon three weeks ago. The Girl's gone to Toys R Us for new gifts.

Steph, pleurisy sounds extremely interesting, but also not fun. I hope the antibiotics help.

Health~ma to the Zmayhem house. This flu is not fun at all.

I blame Al Gore. If he hadn't made that movie about climate change, none of this would have ever happened! Humbug!

(Not to make light of your situation, Jars. But if we can't laugh at life, it will surely drive us mad).

I'm so sorry for all the holiday sickies! It's difficult to be or enjoy the merry and bright when you're all phlegmy and difficult of breath.

Teppy, you want I should bring you some salt? Might it help? I will say Tyco is the absolute bomb for pain for me. Never mind the other, more arcane pain stuff--just gimme the good codiene and tylenol.

I'm sorry, Jars. That sucks. Are trains and ferries or whatnot running in this weather, or would that make a doable holiday trip take longer than the holiday?

What a shame your travel plans are in such disarray, Jars. I don't know what to wish for you, other than some way to find some holiday cheer.

Seska, I'm glad you are feeling better.

I don't know that I can take much more snow, myself. We've had three significant snow storms in the space of ten days. I hope we don't get any more snow until I finish the antibiotics from the throat infection I got from the first snow storm. I'm already getting panicky just from the thought of snow.
