I think I have the plague

[annathepiper]

Or at least the flu. I have a bit of a headache, a bit of a sore throat, a touch of a cough, and my internal temperature is wonky. solarbird thinks I caught something at NASFiC, as I had earlier opined.

She also came and got me from work, bringing my favorite fleece & flannel blanket with her so I could curl up under it in the car. I have a good spouse.

This afternoon, I think I shall curl up with this blanket, watch Invader Zim and look for further icon-worthy moments ("Not now, son! I'm making... TOAST!" and "Doom! Doom! Doom! Go home now!" both come to mind), take Nyquil at prescribed times, and try to fight off whatever's trying to waylay my system. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

You haven't been hanging around with prairie dogs, have you, Anna?

As you know, antibiotics aren't any good unless you've got something bacterial, but a doc should be able to tell you that. If it's viral, don't take the ABs.

Let Invader Zim cheer you up - it seems like everybody keeps telling me I MUST SEE Invader Zim. Sometimes I regret only getting 7 and a half channels... ;)

I have not, to my knowledge, been hanging around any prairie dogs. Unless one of the animals in the house is very cleverly disguised.

Dara definitely thinks I have the flu, especially now that my temperature is over 100. Bah.

And yes, you should see Zim! We have it all on DVD now. But don't come over while I am enplagued!

Ooh! On DVD! I have never seen so much as a single episode! However, your advice is very wise: I will wait until you are un-plagued to visit. ;)

If you wait till after October 11th, I'll even have a lot of extra time!

Why do you have so much extra time after Oct. 11th? Did I maybe miss something?

That's when my contract for this job expires.
