I hate colds

[cahn]

What I was supposed to do this weekend:
-Go to a baby shower
-Plan a birthday party
-Run a whole bunch of errands
-Do something fun with E
-Beta-read something for work
-Work on a plot arc
-Clean up around the house
-Read Book 4 of Les Mis while cleaning up around the house
-Go to church (three-hour block)
-Go to a local play of Legally Blonde: The Musical

What I actually did this weekend:
-thought about sleeping a lot
-thought about sleeping while E had fun dragging out all the Christmas ornaments and lights we haven't put back in storage yet. Twice.
-put back all the Christmas ornaments and lights. Twice.
-slept
-beta-read work thing that took at least three times longer than I had anticipated (to be fair, this was not just because I had a cold)
-came home from church after thirty minutes, when E displayed a tendency to cough over everything, at least thankfully before she coughed on any other person, especially any other kid
-read possibly all the Illyan fic that exists in the world

It could certainly have been very much worse. E spent all day Friday in bed with a fever, and I've heard reports of similar things from other people. I never got worse than "I'm just really not feeling like doing anything at all right now, thanks." And I'm much better today! But still.

Ugh, sorry you're not feeling well. The flu's in full swing, it seems. Hope you and E feel better soon.

Dude, good for you though. Whenever I try to plow through my to-do list anyway while sick, I always end up regretting it.

Thanks! (And we are feeling better, although E seems to be coming down with another cold, sigh.) I shouldn't be complaining really, because whatever it was (it might well have been the flu, given the fever and lassitude everyone's been complaining about) I got a much milder dose than I had any right to get -- it's mostly the mismatch between expectations and reality that I'm whining about :)

Oh, hey, this makes me feel a lot better about not getting to anything on my to-do list, which I was feeling rather guilty about :)
