Summer colds suck

[aishabintjamil]

I've spent all last week fighting a cold, and woke up this morning feeling worse than I have since Tues. I meant to go back for the last day of Readercon today, but when the alarm went off it just didn't seem worth it. So we called Mike and told him to go without us and went back to bed. I finally got up around 1 this afternoon.

I've felt fairly crappy all day, and the way Beth is coughing I keep expecting to find stray bits of lung here and there. I haven't yet, but that may just be because the cats have eaten them all.

I had no ambition for any of the things I should have been doing, so I just sat down to write. I think I put in a solid six hours or so. I've gone back to working on Joe, and added another 5,595 words today. (No, that's not a typo - it was a really productive day.) Have to look at it tomorrow and see if it makes any sense.
