Now in the hacking cough stage...

[transposable_element]

For the last few days I have been coping with a nasty cold and have been sleeping badly (on the couch, so as to avoid keeping my husband awake with my sniffling and restlessness) and generally feeling sorry for myself. I suppose I shouldn't complain because it's the first time I've been sick at all this winter, which is rather remarkable considering that over the years my precious little disease vector, er, daughter has brought home everything from lice to enteroviruses.

At the moment I am consoling myself with hot tea and Dealing With Dragons.

Ugh. I'm so sorry. we all came down with the creeping crud and then my spawn and spouse caught it again. it's the worst. And oh goody, head lice. wasn't THAT fun. my head is starting to itch in sympathy.

Thanks. After we had head lice I kept feeling phantom lice for weeks afterwards and would have to go comb out my hair. Nasty, nasty bugs!

Ugh, I feel your pain and I hope you get better soon. I'm currently on the mend from a really bad sinus infection and can totally relate about the lack of sleep and feeling sorry for yourself. :-)

Hot tea and a good book should definitely help! I haven't read that book in years but it's so, so enjoyable.

Ow. Sinus infections are monstrous. I'm glad yours is on the mend.

I hadn't read Dealing with Dragons in a while either, but Filia loves the series so it was lying around, like most of her books. It's so much fun, and perfect comfort reading.

I'm sorry to hear this - I hope the weekend just gone has seen you much better! :)

Thanks. I am well past the worst, but it's amazing how long these things can linger....
