May. 30th, 2015 12:02 pmScott is off all weekend. We're all pleased by that. Cordelia is not so pleased that we don't have any plans to do anything that will entertain her, but at the same time, if we did suggest something, she'd complain that we were taking her away from her reading.
I had a headache all day yesterday that was still there when I got up today and that made it very hard to sleep last night. Yesterday, I tried caffeine, Tylenol, alcohol (it seemed like a fair bet given that my neck and shoulders hurt, too), and Amerge over a period of about eight hours. None of them killed it, but the Amerge helped a little, so I tried that again this morning, and I think it has worked. We'll see how I am in another two or three hours.
The headache meant that I got very, very little done yesterday. I do have a couple of different fics that I kind of like for Remix. I just want to skim through the rest of my remixee's stories in case there's something that appeals more. All of the stories I'm considering right now will be challenging, just in different ways. One of them may actually be too dark for me.
I really do want to write this weekend. I miss it dreadfully. I just-- Metanews seems to expand to fill all available time. Some of that, of course, is that I keep taking breaks from link finding to goof off for a little bit. If I could stop doing that, it wouldn't take days to finish. Probably.
Cordelia's school is having an online book fair. They're selling every single book that's on Cordelia's Amazon wishlist. I'm not willing to buy all of them. For one thing, there are about a dozen of them. For another, most of the books are $20 each on the book fair website, quite a bit more than what Amazon would charge. I want to support the school, and I like buying from somewhere that's not Amazon, but if I'm going to pay that much, I'd rather special order these books from the neighborhood book store.
Cordelia and I both felt really blah about dinner last night. We were hungry, but we didn't want anything we could find in the refrigerator or cupboards. So I made a roll of Pillsbury biscuits, and we each had three of those with raspberry preserves. I think we were both hungry after, but... Neither of us could face another night of chicken and green beans. I'm going to make Scott buy some salad greens today, so that we can have that for dinner tonight. I think that will help the chicken considerably. He worked late last night and didn't get home until almost 8:00, so there was no point in asking him to buy them yesterday.
Scott's still coughing like crazy, but he really, really wants to cuddle. I'm trying to come up with ways to say 'You're still contagious!' without making him think that I don't want to touch him. I do not want this cold, not even if cuddling makes him feel less sick.
We still haven't sent out Mother's Day cards or thank you notes for Cordelia's birthday. I keep telling Scott to buy stamps, and he keeps forgetting. He needs to pick up thank you note cards, too. He said he wanted to make those himself this year, but I just don't see that happening.
