deathpixie | She lives!

I know I haven't been around a lot lately. Most of that's been due to feeling totally and utterly crap. My bout of bronchitis last month was followed up a scarce week later by a headcold, courtesy of one of the assistants here, which hung around for ages and eventually turned into a sinus infection. So for the past three weeks, I've been exhausted, stuffy in the head, nose running like a tap and covered in coldsores. It doesn't make for a very happy Rossi.

However, yesterday I finally got myself to the doctor and started on a course of antibiotics and a nasal spray for the nose. Miracle of miracles, after coming home functionally dead, I slept for a very long time, had a bunch of really weird dreams and then slowly climbed back into consciousness. But once I'd had a shower, I could think. I could breathe! Walking from the subway station to work, I actually had energy! My sinuses weren't being drilled by small, evil gnomes intent on making my head explode from the eyeballs up!

After three weeks of zombie-dom, you can appreciate the simple joy of not having a head stuffed with blargh.

So, today is catch-up day. I haven't had the brain for anything more complicated than Zoo World on Facebook, so I have a bunch of emails to reply to and some reading to catch up on (well, done that, I read fast!) as well as some work stuff to double-check for zombie-induced mistakes. But I finally feel like I can manage that. :)

Yay antibiotics! They may make my mouth taste like metallic arse, but they work!
