Another Step to Wellsville

Another night passes, the cold/flu progresses but this time I had the firepower to knock this sucker into submission. At least for one night. P remembered that she still had some cough syrup with that magical substance, codeine, in it. Oooh yeah. codeine makes it all better or at least makes it so you just don't care about all the goo and shit quite so much.

I got to sleep pretty well last night, punctuated by one potty break for the puppy and then, later, she just wanted out of her crate but kept wandering the room so she got a few minutes out before I put her back in and she was quiet for another hour or so.

All in all, I'm starting to feel human again and the fog is breaking up slowly. Another day or two and I expect to be back to normal. Until then, I'll just watch the rain and be happy I was smart enough to buy my truck when I did because there's very little that sucks more than having to ride a motorcycle on the highway in the rain with a cold. Believe me on this one.

[Addendum: The good thing about feeling better? I have a desire to eat again. Before I had some potato soup for dinner last night, I'd had about a half cup of mushroom soup, five bites of Crunchy Pea salad (which is awesome stuff) and two Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts all day. I still didn't get enough to eat yesterday but I had no desire to try and sneak any food past the screaming pain that was the back of my throat. And coffee? Yeah, that was a bad idea.]

By the way, I'm not sure if I've mentioned it yet but P made some really excellent curtains for the bedroom and for the closet entrance. They have added immeasurably to the feel of the bedroom. The fabric for the closet curtain is really neat as its got both sheer and regular fabrics in it so that there are see through flame like elements in it. Very cool.

Now all we've got to do are the nursery curtains, the sliding glass door covering (I hate, hate, hate those stupid and easily breakable slat curtains), a few more windows and we'll be even further on the way to have a completed house.

Which also reminds me, congratulations go to Ryan on the purchase of his first home. And he's getting his task list ready as well. Lucky bastard has gorgeous hardwood floors under a hideous carpet.
