Some days you don't need to hear the bare truth

Some days you just need someone to pat your shoulder and commiserate. There's nothing like saying something that has been hurtful to you and being told to suck it up cry baby. (and surprisingly NOT my family this time).

Of course I'm touchy today because a) I think I waited too long to go to the doctor's because this started to spread south into my lungs. I feel worse than I did in a week of being sick b) some of that sick is the meds which is very unusual for me. I'm almost never sick over claritin but it's making me tired and Zpacks almost never make me nauseated but this time...
C) I didn't sleep but I have half days on friday and tried to nap. Nope, how can you be this exhausted and not sleep?

I did go do laundry but there you have it. Here's hoping I'm good enough to drive to Athens tomorrow. If nothing else I've been going out to eat because I'm not feeling like cooking.

I got a second blind date book, this one a JOhn Grisham kid's mystery. Who knew he did that? At least that'll be more readable.

I want to clean my house SO MUCH but every time I lean over my sinuses explode AND my parents accused me of giving them this infection over the phone as they're both sick now. I TOLD them it was virulent :-) It is strange all three of us have it at once especially since I'm 200 miles away.

It's eating into writing. My poor Weird West story is just lying there like a rotting carcass. But someone I don't know stopped in to love on my picfor 1000 story. that was the nicest thing that's happened all week. I DID get more edits done for Blood Red but realized I had several major timeline issues. This is what happens when you not only expand a short story piecemeal but also give it to your beta readers a chapter at a time. A ton of stuff gets missed. Sigh. Now to figure out a fix.

You know how some pets are super comforting when you're sick. that's not Kanda. He hasn't sat with me since I got sick. He's like eww cooties.
