Feeling better.

[badseed1980]

I slept about 10 hours last night, amazingly. I expected to wake up and find out it was about 6:30 or so, but it was 8 when I looked at the clock. Awesome.

By dinner time last night, my temperature had already started dropping and I had enough appetite to eat a good-sized dinner. My fever was actually gone by the time I went to bed, though I still had some of the aches from it remaining. When I woke up this morning, even those were gone. Now I just feel like I have a normal cold. It's a relief. I'm still not at work: sneezy and sniffly as I am, it's best to stay home and recuperate another day. But with some decongestant, I will be pretty good, and will be able to do things like wash dishes and knit without wanting to die. Yay!

Today's my friend D's birthday. It's also the day I picked for Lucy's birthday, since she was born sometime in November and this is almost mid-way through the month and easy to remember. Plus, the potential for it falling on a Friday (as it does this year) is kinda cool, for a black cat! Happy birthday, Woogie!

"and knit without wanting to die"

I watch my woman knit and crochet, and I want to die when I see it, I cant believe people actually LIKE it. The phrases I hear from her make me blush. And my grandma was always drunk when she did it. You may still have a fever because you are looking forward to it. OH LORD YOU NEED MORE MEDS!!

(I will change my tune when my woman is done with my Dr. Who Scarf....)

I told my man that if he wants a Doctor Who scarf, he can damn well make it himself, because I am not doing 20 feet of freakin' garter stitch.

I just finished a mitten. Let me tell you, knitters stay warmer in the winter than anyone else.

Pleased to hear you are feeling better. I love those long sleeping nights when I'm sick, they're so satisfying.

Agree about stitchers staying warm in winter. I just got a slipper pattern off Ravelry, I may try making them for myself instead of buying a new pair from somewhere.

I made my mom the felted-to-fit Fuzzyfeet slippers from Knitty one year. I bought leather soles to stitch to the bottoms. She loved them! I used Noro Kureyon for some pretty self-striping-ness.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, and happy birthday to the Woogie! Give her a big hug for me, OK?

Will do! Glad you're doing better too.
