Recuperation

So I think I finally have this flu thing on the run. My doctor gave me antibiotics, nasal spray, and an inhaler, and my sniffling and coughing are getting slowly better — emphasis on the "slowly." The laryngitis is no better and I still have serious coughing fits, waking me (and the rest of the building) up during the night and rendering me practically laugh-less the rest of the time. Ok, maybe "on the run" is an exaggeration. :p

Meanwhile, it's back to the Moors of Ykesha in EQ2. Without the Frostfell Wonderland Village and all its shiny goodies to distract me, I'm back to running through the solo faction quests and the daily tradeskill tasks with Riannon, my main. I initially tried the daily tasks with Kharri, my Carpenter, but being as she's only a 50-something Defiler it was going to take me eons to get enough faction with Grobb and Tupta for the "fluff" furniture recipes. Ria, on the other hand, is capped, which gives her the option of adventuring to raise faction. I think she was able to reach the recipe-purchasing goal in only a day or two.

After a full evening of laid-back adventuring and questing, I'm up to 11k with the Guktan Guard, 14k with Clan Grobb, and 16k with the Survival Accord. I also earned a full Achievement Point — Ample Harvest FTW! — and cleared out a handful of quests from my perpetually full journal. All in all, not a bad night!

Ok, I Give Up

Heading to the doctor this afternoon at 2:45. Wish me medicine! Gotta try to get a few winks in before I have to shower and get ready…sleep is still hard to get and even harder to hold on to. Related posts:A Nice Perspective Yesterday was my first yearly exam after the Cervical Cancer...

Flu, Ugh

I get it every year, it seems. I've decided that I'm going to have to suck it up and just fork out the $15 or so to get a yearly vaccination. Being sick like this for more than a week is absolutely hellish. No sleeping, breathing, talking, or laughing. Not only are there severe mucus issues, but I've got this horrendous cough that sounds (and feels) like I'll wind up holding my spleen when I'm done. I'm not even going to mention how yucky the fever makes me feel.

And as is forever true, when the woman of the house is miserable, everyone suffers…poor Peter has gotten as little sleep as I have, and the pigs are scared to death of the Big Scary Hacking Snot Monster. Just shoot me!!
