Sick :-(

[selenay]

I have what I'm hoping is just a really miserable cold. It'll be my third this year. I've been stuffy and ick for a couple of days, but yesterday a wave of incredible fatigue landed on me and hasn't lifted and today I've lost my voice. My throat is a little sore, but not bad enough to account for the no voice thing.

I'm really hoping this is just a rotten cold.

On the up side, my very excitable immune system is currently suppressed enough to allow me to catch a virus. Go me and my immunusuppressants?

Ugh. I'm trying to do some writing--it's Labour day, thankfully, so I don't need to take a sick day yet--but my eyes keep crossing and drifting shut. I may have to admit defeat and retreat to my sofa for a nap. It's not even 11am yet! I hate getting sick, so very very much.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you're sick. But hopefully you're feeling well enough to get some writing done after you've napped.

I got a bit of writing done and then I napped. This virus is kicking my ass :-(

[havocthecat]

I hate when that happens! I mean, if I'm too sick to write, then I'm really, really sick.

[selenay]

Yup, that's always a really bad sign. And I have a big bang deadline to hit!

Gah.

[havocthecat]

Meep! (What are you writing?)

[selenay]

A sequel to a steampunk AU novel I wrote a couple of years ago. It's m/m slash, with plenty of ladies being awesome, too :-)

Well, at least it is a day off, where you have the time to nap and give your system time to fight this off. (Though I agree it sucks to be sick on your own time and lose free time to recovery and then be well enough to go back to work or school as scheduled. I remember getting sick over spring break a few times in elementary school -- I wound up not getting any sick days for my bout of chicken pox, and was very aggrieved at going back to school the Monday after spring break with my sister getting to stay home because she caught it a few days after I did (probably from me).)

I ended up taking a day off yesterday, too. Very irritated at losing my long weekend to a virus and still having to use a sick day, too!
