Definitely have cold. Sore throat, weird in the head in the way you are when you've got colds, and my ears are doing the weird thing they do when I have colds. And I barely managed to avert a coughing fit in the grocery store with my inhaler*, and I've already sneezed a couple of times.

As I have to work at the ref desk on Saturday, and it's a real bitch to try to change shifts with someone this close to the weekend, my current plan is to play it by ear tomorrow morning, and if I feel worse, tot ake of tomorrow and maybe Friday, then drug myself up for Saturday. We're now trying a schedule that has two librarians there, and we switch off during the day, so for half the time I'll be sequestered in my office downstairs instead of at the desk proper for eight hours. Better than it used to be.

And another thing that popped up from the Cool Bits generator:

The antagonist of this piece is a priestess, while the protagonist is a short person who kicks tremendous ass. Neither of them are motivated because they're dying anyway, so they might as well.The plot begins with blue cocktails in the palaces of Heaven. The ending includes elements of a kiss on the neck from behind and creepy pick-up lines.

I'm seeing some sort of black comedy where people die and discover the afterlife is a really horrible lounge bar.






* Yay. I am all about this, if it works, as codeine and other cough medicines don't work very well on me.

I'm sorry to hear that. The weird thing that my ears do when I'm sick turns out to be congestion migrating over from my nose--is it the same for you? If so, and there are decongestants that you can take safely, you could try that. Another useful thing is to make a little steam tent by putting a big bowl of just-boiled water on a table, and sitting in front of it with a big towel over your head and the bowl. The steam always makes me feel better.

I have no idea what it's due to, but that could be it. Decongestants tend to make me weird - I feel like I'm somehow ten feet away from all my senses - so I avoid them when possible. But I may take a nice, long, hot, steamy bath with the water not quite hot enough to trigger a migraine XD.

>> the afterlife is a really horrible lounge bar <<

Good Lord, the threat of that would certainly make me change my evil ways ...

(Don't you hate it when all your health problems to team up to help prevent you from treating them? It's like the way I won't be able to take ibiprofen for my cramps after noon tomorrow ... .)
