Sick Day #8

01:56:27 AM: My third attempt to sleep in the last 48 hours just failed. The cold meds taken at 5am yesterday (now about 21 hours ago) are keeping me up. I close my eyes but my mind races as my eyeballs bounce back and forth. I am hypersensitive to cold meds and hate them. I'm completely exhausted and just want to sleep but I can't. So I'll blog.

It all sounds horrible but I'm beyond it all now. It's truly become a self-comedy. Kind of a wow, what next? sort of thing.

Nat mentioned that she's on day 12 of something similar... ouch... get well Nat! Danielle told Heather to put me on Mucinex... she's on the case and my phlegm is thinning as we speak (in theory).

Not much on tv. Have gotten some work done. Slow trickles of progress all week have actually seen me complete my second pass through the tiny font task list. That's a good thing. My Kill JSF rebuild is going well. I'm at the point where I'm trying to re-integrate with Facebook in a more solid manner. Early trials are, as expected, ugly but that always works itself out.

Aves is incredible. I just have so much fun hanging out with her. Every day she does something new. We watched some of the animated movie Cars today so that she and her B/F Aidan have something to talk about next time they're together.

Been reading a book called Lone Survivor that Elswick got me. Very good so far.

What else? It's 1:54am and I'm both wide awake and terribly tired at the same time.

Funny.

12:28:22 PM: Breakthrough. Actually got a few hours of sleep. Butter baby! Cold symptoms definitely in retreat.
