I'm not sure where that expression comes from, but it applies. I've been stuffy and congested for a couple of days, since Thursday I think, and today I just couldn't stay awake to get much done. I spent much time sitting on the couch trying to read but actually dozing with a book in my lap, or doing the same in front of the computer. The latter is not good when you're trying to edit a book length manuscript. I have a tendency to doze off and end up holding down a key. This can generate hundreds of pages of one character. Fortunately "Undo" removes them, but after that scare I gave up on editing for the day. Dispossessed one of the cats of her spot on the sofa so I could lie down and snooze there, which worked for a while. She was rather indignant about it though.

I did manage to get through most of the barn chores, and cooked breakfast and supper. Gary made lunch because I was too groggy even to stick leftovers in the microwave. He's busy with a load of homework even though he has only two classes this term.

Dunno if I'll make it to work tomorrow. Have to see how I feel by then and whether I can sleep all night.

The moon did break through the clouds overnight and was brilliant just before sunrise this morning. Haven't looked to see if it is showing right now.

Erf... That doesn't sound good at all. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Figures. I never get it from cons.

Working in a library is rather like being a school teacher, though. You can easily get kid crud.

Thanks. The plushies will help, I'm sure. They usually do.

Working where I do exposes me to some interesting things as well. My immune system has hardened as a result. Occasionally though, one still gets me.
