Driving home yesterday was an experience. The clouds overhead were dark and black and it was dark all around us. However, the sun was below the cloudline nearing the horizon and light came blazing from the west and nearly blinding us. It was something else to be surrounded by darkness but still having the full force of the sun in your eyes. It made for a very picturesque end of day.
My ongoing chest cold of three weeks decided to divide and conquer by moving into my head as well. So now, along with a horrible cough, I get to sneeze and have the sniffles. And with all the coughing my chest and back are aching. I realize my last post was about whiners and complainers, so I shouldn't bitch about this... but I'm worn out from this illness. I slept for 14 hours last night, interrupted only once at 5:30am when the mirror in the bathroom broke it's mounting and bounced off the countertop. I woke and thought it was a fever dream... my roommate and his boyfriend, not being sick, didn't know what the fuck it was and had to get up and investigate. I drifted back into the haze which pretended to be sleep.
So one more day of work to go and then I can try to rest Sunday and recuperate. With my luck the cold will turn into the flu and move into my back, something that I only get every few years, but that causes me a week of back spasms and restless nights. Fuck it, that's what Robaxecet with codeine is for. :)
