another friggin cold
February 22, 2012
First off--worth noting: I came home on Feb. 14 to a bouquet of flowers that I was told
were "from the dog". I guess he wanted to keep his record from being ruined...
My ever-accommodating Spouse ALSO brought me home a nasty-assed head cold
this weekend. I ended up calling in on Monday, and coming in half-dead on Tuesday,
before I finally said @#&% and used some of the nasal spray that has the caution
on it for people with thyroid disease. What good is a thyroid if you suffocate from a
cold, anyway? After two nights with almost no sleep, I managed about half a night
last night, so I am feeling a bit better. This crud is the real thing: a genuine "cold in
the nose". Not the ears or throat or chest or even the sinuses--the NOSE. Sniffly
sneezy drippy and I cannot breathe. Like I snorted a bag of cement.
Aaannnddd...the weather is turning to shit.
Meh. Think I'll go curl up in bed and read.
Reading: Hobby: "Carolyn of the Corners" (1918), by Ruth Belmore
Endicott. It's a sort of Understood Betsy meets Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
meets Pollyanna kind of thing. Which means, of course, I'm loving it.
Also re-reading Dorothy Whitehill's "Janet-a Twin" and "Phyllis-a Twin" to refresh
my memory before reading "The Twins in the South". (all circa 1920)
General: "The Garner Files: A Memoir" (2011) by James Garner and Jon Winokur.
Always been a fan, and heard many good things about this memoir.
Listening: Lou Reed, Coldplay, Peter Frampton, Arcade Fire
Surfing: This website makes me insanely happy: Retro Deco Settings a Day.
