Checking in
Oct. 11th, 2010 02:31 pmJust checking in quickly--hopefully, I'll be able to reply to comments and catch up on some reading later!
I've been down with some kind of virus for the past few days. While I have been feverish and a little snotty, with a sore throat and my asthma and stomach acting up some--that's just annoying. The main symptom has been feeling like instead of sleeping for at least a week, I've been getting beaten with a stick. I mean, I'm used to some degree of chronic fatigue, but this is the "don't want to sit up" kind.
Here's hoping that it's just an odd strain of flu, instead of mono or similar. If nothing else, recovery from the flu is usually quicker.
But, the weather has been cooperating better than expected the past couple of days, with warm sun. I think I'll go bask with a book again in a few minutes, and hopefully take care of whatever portion of the crappiness might be coming from elevated bilirubin. :) (I'm not noticeably yellow ATM, but viruses and Gilbert's? Good idea anyway.) And make another pot of very lightly honeyed mint tea, which I've been very, very glad to discover really does help with viral fatigue and depression. (No idea why it works.)
Just thought I should let people know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, or--more to the point--suddenly lost interest. ;)
