I started feeling bad on Friday, stayed home yesterday, and I'm trying to work from home today while doped up on cold meds. And I'm running low on food that's easy to make. But at least I'm not in the Midwest where it's -60?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
How bad do you feel? Do you need me to come by after work and drop off a gallon of sports drink? I am now brimming with love and paranoia and the desire to swaddle everyone I know in bubble wrap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But at least I'm not in the Midwest where it's -60?
This is my general feeling! Our weather people are apparently trying to piggyback, but our coldest day this week has a high of 18, so what is anyone complaining about??

In hindsight, I probably should have clarified that I am eating and hydrating, and that I'm just an achey mess of congestion. I have cold meds and kleenex and lemon ginger tea.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hope you have the cold I have, which showed up Friday and is pretty much gone today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This was me for about the past 10 days, but the fog lifted this morning and I've been able to make it almost an entire workday without a splitting sinus headache! Being able to breathe AND look at things is the best!

Because books.

I'm anxiously awaiting this day, after three days of actual in-bed sinus infection. I'm sort of practicing being healthy today (I took a shower! I unloaded the dishwasher!) but it was exhausting.

I'm waiting for orders to show up in my system. I'm not great at waiting. I could be using the time to analyze how last year's revenue differed from plan, and how this year's forecasts differ from planned revenue, but I don't feel like it. Meh.

I am very very glad to not be in -60 weather!!
Seriously considered calling in sick today because I just didn't want to get out of bed. Eventually did, and feel slightly less discombobulated than yesterday, but still not entirely with it, or up on what is urgently needed at work vs what is easy to do, vs what I feel like doing...

They've cancelled school tomorrow already; the low is forecast at 0 but with a "feels like" of -20.
Despite the school cancellation, Dillo is having a pissy bitchfest because he has a doctor's appointment today. He needed a shot (routine) and hadn't had a checkup since summer 2017. But he's texting me things like "I'm gonna make him regret making the idiotic mistake that he did" (about mr. flea, whose idiot mistake was making the appointment.)
I'm half very amused and half terrified that this means he;s going to grow up to be one of those horrible irrational people who argues with strangers on the internet. (On the wrong side.)
