Good timing

[owlectomy]

I am going to a party on Wednesday. A costume party. Which means I have all of, uh, this weekend to put together a costume - which will require either thrift-shopping or sewing or, I don't know, they might have something serviceable at one of the Halloween stores, but the thematic limits of the costume party make that seem unlikely. I am hosting book club on Tuesday, and there's no one else who can.

Aaaand here comes that cold that's been giving me sinus headaches for the past week. Can't take a sick day because there's no one to open up the library, but if I'm feeling real bad I can go home a couple hours early.... and, uh, go to the Halloween store? (no, no, I wouldn't.)

OTOH I've been due for a cold for a while now, and it may as well be now instead of when I'm traveling.

I don't usually go in for alternative medicine, but this one is all that alternative. Go to the parmacy and buy some Zicam nasal swabs. They claim to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold and, while I was doubtful, they seem to have done a good job since I started using them.

Feel better, whatever else you choose to do.

Ick. I feel your pain. I'm suffering through a cold myself. I couldn't get anyone to work for me either, so I was stuck hacking and sneezing at work all week. I guess that's what hand washing is for.
