Well, that was unpleasant

omorkaAs those who made it to Bagels are already aware, I was down for the count yesterday. Temp of 99.5° F (which is seriously elevated, for me - my "normal" temperature is between 98.2 and 98.4, depending on where I am in my cycle), very sore throat, swollen and tender lymph nodes, and general muscle aching. I was bad enough off that I didn't trust myself to make hot tea. Fortunately, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bibulb successfully brought me chicken tacos and Gatorade, so between the soup from Saturday and that I was reasonably well cared for.
My lymph nodes are still swollen and there's rather a lot of phlegm sticking around, but I can now swallow without wincing and my temperature has returned to (my) normal. So I've recovered enough that I'm going to plan on going to the meeting tomorrow, even though I still don't really know where/when it is; I'm going to the school to pick up my keys first, and hopefully get a chance to find the old e-mail on my computer. While I'm there, assuming that I don't discover that I'm way late for the meeting (I think we weren't scheduled until after lunch), I'll shake down the counselors for the AP scores.
I've finished the hat; once I'm more presentable, I'll try and get a shot of me wearing it off the digital camera. I have 6-8 pattern reps (24-32 rows) left on the shawl, not counting two rows of crocheted edging; hopefully I'll manage to finish it today or tomorrow on the bus home. Is there an actual yarn store in Houston anywhere? It's a large enough city, there's got to be at least one; the yarn selections at Mickey's, Avocation Atrium, and the chain fabric stores are all embarrassingly small. Of course, with my luck, it's in Clear Lake or someplace equally difficult to get to.
UPS's tracking system claims I should be getting the box of beads today, so there's another project to work on. In addition, I also need to finish writing Saturday's ritual (and e-mail copies to my other reader/s), pick up my share of the items for the ritual, get a little further in writing plot for the GURPS game (which meets this Wednesday), and figure out when the heck I'm going to manage to do this week's grocery shopping.
Maybe I should just go take a warm bath instead . . .
