First the good news: I interviewed for a job yesterday!
Mind you, I’m not counting on getting the job, mainly because the company is looking for an extra skillset that wasn’t mentioned in the job posting. They seem like nice folks, though, and I certainly wouldn’t mind taking a stab at doing the gig. The money wouldn’t be nearly as much as I was bringing in before, but I could make do. Ah well.
Now for the bad news: I seem to have come down with a cold!
I felt a bit achey and worn out yesterday afternoon and evening, and in fact went to bed a bit earlier than usual. I woke up during the night feeling altogether too much like I was going to be “physically ill,” if you know what I mean. (Luckily I managed to defeat that impulse. Whew.) Now I’m sitting here with a runny nose, fever, swollen glands and a scratchy throat, periodically sneezing.
Oh, joy.
I still have to head out of the house at some point, if only to deposit my “benefits” check and hit the store for cold meds and foodstuffs. While everyone else is enjoying their holiday weekend (with the exception of Mari, who’s working all weekend), I’ll be hunkered down and miserable.
Oh well.

“While everyone else is enjoying their holiday weekend” … I’m not sure I understand that phrase, the words enjoying and weekend are confusing me.
Switch to hot tea to drink as well – that’ll help. The blackberry sage tea on the counter heats up nicely with a bit of sugar (and milk which is optional) in it.
[…] Geoffrey suspects I might be coming down with something non-migraine-related. Since Tuesday, I’ve had body aches that are far more severe than overexertion could account for, as well as a bit of sinus congestion & sniffles. Since Karel seems to be catching a cold, and we’ve spent a couple of evenings hanging out together over the last 10 days or so, it wouldn’t surprise me if I’ve caught it too. (This is one of the downsides to polyamory — if one person catches something, even non-sexually transmitted, it’s likely that their partners and their partners’ partners will all eventually get it, too! And those of us with kids seem to catch colds a lot more often, since the little darlings get exposed to colds & whatnot by all their classmates… *sigh*) […]
