candygrammeWhere to begin? First I got rid of my husband - always a complex task! He's gone off to England, and although I'm going myself in a couple of weeks, we won't really overlap anywhere, so I have a completely Russ-free month, except that he is bombarding me with emails demanding all kinds of things long distance. Thank you dear, I really didn't have anything to do until you assailed me with all your demands for service.
So the weekend was going to be a magnificent weekend of work - sorting out the spare room and divesting myself of years of clutter, and in fact I did a lot. My friend Cruella came over on Saturday and helped me throw things away, and we drank wine and grooved to Steve Carlson (but only on the inside.)
Sunday, I woke up feeling like a train hit me. Muscles ached, joints ached, throat was sore and head was stuffed full of something really slimy and green. I was supposed to go out to see a movie in the afternoon, but instead I sat and wished I was dead.

splashpink arrived bearing real tea and did my gardening for me. She's the most awesome thing that ever awesomed, and I love her. I moved a few boxes of crap around and discovered the floor of the spare bedroom. Bonus. Also, I burned a whole bunch of DVDs to send out to people before falling back into bed and dying.
Monday found me back at work, with a sign around my neck that says, "unclean!" I absolutely can't spare any time off at the moment. I need my vacation time for the UK, so just wear your all over body condom if you come near me.
Today, it's easing off a little, and my joints still ache like crazy, but the stuffiness and coughing are going away. I may make it through to the finale after all.
And I have to edit my big bang this week, so I can sign off on it. I have another bunny ripping holes in my brain and I want to get going on that.
