I always forget how long it takes to recover from colds. Also, I may have pushed too hard on Thursday and thus set back my progress.

Anyway, I called in and got my Friday shift reduced, so I only worked 5-9pm instead of 12-9pm, and today I have emailed the rest of my teaching team to say that I should not be around children tomorrow morning (*sadface*) so that will buy me a bit of sleeping time as well.

I am about halfway done with my Yuletide story, having cleared up a few research points and fixed canon inconsistencies in the first section. I also have a list of what to pack for Spain, which I will begin pulling together and fitting into my suitcase this evening. The gifts that needed to be mailed have been mailed, and the ones that will be personally delivered will be wrapped tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

Now I am going to get back to writing and coughing up what feels like three quarters of my lungs. Blecch.

(You know what I especially hate? I hate when you cough so much you start to trigger your vomit reflex and have to hold your breath and be still and swallow down the reflux by sheer force of will. It always tastes like burning. And that is probably more than you wanted to know about my past few days.

Blame the NyQuil. I always do. *beams*)

Am 3/4 through my Yuletide story. Have kinda-sorta started packing. Gave up on wrapping presents and decided that can be done Monday in NJ. Still periodically trying to cough up a lung and/or blow my brains out through my nose. (Fucking colds.) Really ought to eat dinner soon and go to sleep.

Remind me again why I thought signing up for Yuletide and going to Spain sounded like good ideas???

(Incidentally, is anyone willing to beta my Yuletide story? I don't really need a canon check [I am obsessive enough about that myself], just a general mechanics, flow, and mood check. I can send it out tomorrow afternoon and would need it back by noon on Monday.)
