Uuuuggghh. I woke up early, and I tried to sleep, but I was just too warm. I ended up out of bed around 6am, and out on the couch with a blanket. An hour later I was in the bathroom, covered in freezing sweat, and coughed too loud and woke up Shawshank. My coffee sat untouched. I took a shower, brought my blanket back into the bedroom, and slept for the rest of the morning. Pod joined me a couple of times, trying to get under my layers. I was in my “recovery position” – cross-legged on the bed, folded over with my head on my pile of Squishmallows – with my robe over me. He tried to huddle under a sleeve. I pulled the blanket close and gave him someplace to sleep.
Currently, I’m eating the blandest meal possible (that’s not oatmeal), a turkey wrap, sipping my second ginger ale of the day. The cats have been fed, and I have an alert set to remind me to pick up their food and water for the night. Podrick’s finally going to the vet to get neutered. Pippin will have half a day with the house to herself.
I think for the moment, I’m going to go hop into the shower again, and wash the plague off me. Then, I’m going to play some games.
