Ugh.

It's gloriously sunny out today, but I'm a bit less than thrilled with that. Either my allergies are really really bad, or I've actually got something, and the latter seems more likely. Woke up this morning with my head feeling awful, and didn't wake up all at once, either; stirred and slept again, stirred and slept again restlessly till the alarm went off.

Tylenol sinus seems to be knocking down the worst of the stuffed-up feeling and the worst of the headache (which is not entirely around the sinuses, alas), but not all of either, and I'm just weak, tired, and blah.

So I stayed home. And I have hot soup. And I think I'd rather feel well and be at work. I felt guilty about not being there when I called in. Then I realized - I'm not sure, but I think this is the first sick day I've used all year. And considering that even after the medicine had time to work, even after I'd napped a bit longer, I still feel lousy? Probably a good idea to stay home.

I can't concentrate much. I keep trying to do little useful things on the computer, easier than work, and I just can't concentrate enough to deal with anything that's not straight rote. So, more rereading books and napping. Hopefully I'll feel better by tonight or tomorrow....

Yuck! Yes, I hope that you do feel better.

Try kicking on the humidifier near you, maybe with some lavender in/on it?

I am still nonfunctional, but after re-napping I feel a fair bit better if not wholly well. My forehead is no longer hot to my touch and the headache is receding toward the more normal, treatable proportions (and I shall shortly be able to take more medicine to treat it, without violating the dosing rules, which seems ill-advised for me to do, since I normally take under the standard dosage...).

Ironically, it is no longer sunny and lovely. It is pouring rain (either raining very hard, or there is some small hail intermixed; it's ticking; but I think it's just hard rain), and there is lightning and rolling thunder, and somewhere a car alarm started going off but someone shut it off, and if my car had an alarm and it started in I would just wait it out in this weather.

If I weren't sick, I'd want to be out and playing in this. As it is, I'm just watching it most admiringly from inside, as it seems poorly chosen to tempt fate....
