I jinxed myself

[derien]

I said to someone at work the other day that I rarely get sick because my immune system has gotten so built up with seeing hundreds of people a day and being breathed on and such... and here I am sick again. It's too damned soon after the last time, it feels stupid! I felt fine this morning and it came on seemingly quite suddenly, at about 1:30. I bought EmergenC and drank down like five packets of that during the day, but it hasn't helped. We're out of Vitamin C at home - well, actually I tried to chew one up last night and it tasted so yucky I spit it out. They were all discolored and weird and I tossed them out. So regardless of how I feel tomorrow I will at least have to go out for a few groceries, and if I'm out I might as well mail out this thing I've had kicking around for a certain person's birthday since August. Yeah. /me = vacant Other than that, though, it's going to be quiet pursuits tomorrow like polishing boots and trying to write my review for the GranadaSlash group. I have "Silver Blaze," and I'm pretty sure it has to be coming up soon. Wonder if Hulu has the Granada Holmes episodes? There's probably a copy on Eor's computer, but I never feel comfortable using his computer.

It's crazy ass cold around here. I hope that cabin Hawk is taking Dad to next week is insulated or they might use up wood far too fast. Off to bed now so I can get warm. I have discovered the old rice in a sock trick for a bedwarmer! Good thing, too, as the hot water warmer I got in the spring needs a cork whatdayacallit - ring to keep it from leaking, the word escapes me at the moment. Not grommet, not washer... maybe it is washer? No, I don't think so. Gasket? Well, I think if that's not the word it will do. The thing leaks, anyhow.

Hey you, I am so so so terribly sorry but somehow I managed not to list you up as a friend! Ahhh, I'm terrible, I know! I hope you'll feel better soon and thanks for the rice in sock tip (is so gonna try it RIGHT NOW)

Thanks for everything,

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. Friending doesn't always have to be mutual. :)

I'm so sorry you're sick; are you going to get the H1N1 vaccine? Are they making you get it? Both Nudnik and my mom keep nagging me to get flu vaccine(s), but I am resisting the idea, especially since I hardly ever go anywhere any more. I should think you'd catch every little horrible thing that passes through the airport, but sometimes keeping exposed to a constant stream of low-level toxins does help (that's how I justify still smoking, anyway).

I think it's a gasket, and I'm sorry it leaks. I should have let you buy the one I got :(

They're not making us get it, just encouraging us to. Eor doesn't want to, and I think I should push him, because this could be serious.

That justification for smoking doesn't really make sense to me, though, because it's not as if you're going to build up antibodies to smoke. ;)

And don't feel guilty about the bedwarmer! I knew you'd do that, I shouldn't have mentioned it. I'll fix it, it will be okay!
