It’s a day off!

So of course, I’ve been struck by bad congestion.

It’s been a pretty hazy day, thanks to sinus medication, but I did manage to get a few pages written as well as chores, so at least it was somewhat productive in both writing and house-spousing.

I’m pretty sure “house-spouse” isn’t a real word, but dammit if it doesn’t cover the bases, so it’s a word in this household.

There were some long moments of me just sitting at the desk and staring off into space, which must have been amusing for the dogs. I avoid taking sinus medication for this reason; I’m useless when it hits my system. I even planned out last night for taking one dose of Benadryl: get everyone to bed, take care of animals, take Benadryl, make ready for the coma.

(This didn’t pan out as well as I’d like, as the Benadryl hit while I was sorting my mail at my desk at 9PM, and suddenly I‘m sitting up in my chair at 2AM)

With luck, I’ll either finish todays writing goal before the sinus meds knock me out tonight, or I’ll be sensible for once and take the tablet to the bed and type until I’m ninja’d by over-the-counter medicine.

It’s certainly an adventure in Swift’s world, folks.
