Oh Hil. All the anti-coughing~ma. I hope this stuff does the job.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hil, I really hope something works soon.
We're home from our weekend at Mom's. I wasn't feeling good and only wanted toast with butter for dinner, but I was good and had a balanced dinner. So tired now.

Hil, I hope all that helps. K-Bug seems to have something similar but she is only in week 4. Personally, I'm hating on all the tree sex.
Separately, I scored a beautiful round pedestal dining table with 2 inserts, and 6 chairs for just $80 off our local online garage sale. They are for the new place and DO NOT fit in the current place. We have wedged the pieces in here and there through the apartment. 18 more days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks, everyone.
Now I'm trying to figure out why I've been dripping sweat all day. I thought I might have a fever, but I don't, and then I thought it might be because my classrooms were overheated or I was using a lot of energy while teaching or something, but I've been sitting on my couch for the last several hours, and the thermostat says it's 68 degrees in here, and I still feel like it's about 85.

OK, just looked it up, and one of the side effects of the steroid shot I got this morning is excessive sweating. So that explains it. It's in the list of "less serious side effects," not in the "call your doctor if you experience this" side effects, so I won't worry about it. I just feel all gross. My pajamas are all wet and clammy, and I feel like I need to take a shower, but I should probably do that in the morning if I'm going to be sweating like this all night anyway.

...and, the steroid jitters just hit. Which was rather predictable, since I've currently got injected, oral, and inhaled steroid running through my body. Sleep tonight might not be so much happening.

Thanks. My jittery brain has somehow decided that "Maybe I can get a job that can be done online, and then I can travel around and work from wherever and see all kinds of new places!" would be a good idea. I'm pretty sure this would not actually be a good idea, because paying for lodging while traveling alone is super expensive, even at the cheaper end of the scale. Also, having access to medical stuff would be an issue.

Crap. I think I might need to cancel my classes today. I got practically no sleep, and I feel really dizzy when I stand up. I don't think I feel safe driving, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to stand for long enough to teach a class, or to walk across campus. I've already had to cancel classes twice this semester because I was sick, and the university canceled classes one day because of snow, and I feel really bad that my students are missing this much instructional time, but there's really no way for me to get someone to cover my classes with this short notice. When I needed people to cover my classes for Passover, I had to send out three emails to the instructor mailing list, pretty much begging people to help, before I was able to find people for all of my classes, and that was several weeks in advance.

Oh, and the doctor also said that what I'd thought was swollen glands wasn't actually swollen glands. It was that I'd coughed so hard that I'd dislocated my jaw, and though it had relocated itself, all the tissue around the joint was swollen.
