A Day In Bed...(and the pile on the nightstand still grows)
Sigh, working 9 to 10 hours overtime a week for going on 5 months now has taken it's toll, I believe.
I was fine last night, honestly. We went to see "Where The Wild Things Are" (I LOVED IT, it was truly like entering a dream), and dinner afterwards.
And, as I had done all the OT during the week, I didn't have to go into work today. I had plans, as in RP ect, but was not to be. Woke up with the headache from hell and a stuffy nose. Parnoid me, immediately throught H1N1, then calmed down. however...
Allergy meds knocked me out, 2 naps in the day, and still didn't help that much. Talked to Mom and she said "why haven't you called Dr V?" Dr V is in my reading group and is also the doctor for several of my family members. I didn't call him but Mom did. As he lives 5 miles down and knows both my paranoia and my history he came by the house (yes a Dr who makes house calls and doesn't charge for them). Anyway, the upshot of all this is the dreaded sinus infection is back so antiboitics...
OH JOY.
And he agreed that probably 50-60 hour weeks since June have not helped my body fight it off. Unfortunately, there is no way the Boss is going to excuse me from working OT for a non-contagious sinus infection.
So...
No RP done, and probably not tomorrow except maybe in AIM as drugged up, only one character is speaking to me and then only in regards to interacting with 2 specific charries, maybe 3.
At least house is clean (we did that during the week), and I got a book read between naps. I can read and comprehend in my dopey state, just can't write (except for the aforementioned exceptions).
Not that I still don't have several books on the nightstand...
1. The Gate At The Stairs-Lorrie Moore
2. The Childrens Book-A.S. Byattt (I am 150 pages in)
3. Stardust-Joseph Kannon
4. Birds of America-Lorrie Moore
5. The Book of Daniel-E.L. Doctorow
And coming in the next three weeks...
6. Altman: The Oral Biography-(out Tues
7. The Craft of Baking-not technically 'reading' as I already know I will be baking from it, but still (10/27)
8. The Lacuna-Barbara Kingsolver-11/03
And for the record, it does not matter what book I'm on come 111/03/09, it will get dropped for The Lacuna. I have even requested and been approved to take 4 hours vacation that day. They don't know why, but it's to read that book.
So as of 1:30-2 at the lastest that day...I will be home, on the sofa, takeout waiting to be eaten, "Away from my computer" on, phone off, and reading till it is finished. If that means no sleep before work on Weds, so be it.
