the_rckOver the weekend and through this week, I've been battling a cold that I caught from Cordelia. My body has also decided to reset the countdown on menopause. I don't usually end up with wheezing from colds, but I'm feeling this one in my chest and having to be careful as I don't want it to escalate to bronchitis.
I wonder if this cold is hitting me differently because I took prednisone for a week in mid-September? I hope it all settles soon. I'd like to get my flu shot; it just feels like a bad idea to do that when my immune system has already taken a beating.
Scott worked 12 hour shifts on Wednesday and yesterday and is working a third now. He might be on the hook for tomorrow, too, because there's someone scheduled for a vacation day. He'll certainly have Sunday off, but he's scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. I really hope that he actually has next Wednesday through Friday off. There are medical appointments for both of us.
I have emails I need to read and answer, and I still have phone calls to make. I don't know if I'm going to manage all of it today or not.
I managed a burst of writing over last weekend, five short things for a flash exchange. I hadn't signed up because I wasn't sure I'd have energy to finish anything. I wrote one of the stories, from beginning to end, while sitting in the cafeteria at Cordelia's school for the pancake supper fundraiser.
The fundraiser was difficult because I was wobbly for most of it, wobbly enough that I didn't trust myself to go into the bathroom while we were there. I had to have Scott get my food.
I still firmly believe that marching bands should not perform in indoor spaces. My ears hurt so much during their performance. The drummers were all in one place about fifteen feet behind us.
There will be links to those exchange fics later today or some time tomorrow.
