Floating Leaf

I'm sick, dammit. Some stupid bug decided to inflict me with this massive lethargic grumpiness and general feeling of BLAHHH... WTF UNIVERSE. GO AWAY. It started yesterday morning, causing me to be ridiculously late for work (I just couldn't get my act together, and then the public transportation system wasn't particularly helpful either, as it happens). I somehow made it through the day, but all I was capable of in the evening was sinking into my papasan chair with a heating pad and a movie. Today wasn't much better, since my only accomplishments so far include a hot shower and an extremely exhausting trip to the grocery store. The lousy weather probably doesn't help. Funnily enough, I had taken Monday & Tuesday off, because I still have a few unscheduled vacation days left, and my boss has explicitly warned me not to save them for the end of December (several people have already done that, LOL). I hadn't meant for them to be "sick days"... but it looks like that's what they're shaping up to be. *sigh*

I don't think it's the flu, or even a bad cold - my throat is fine, and I don't even sneeze that much; I just feel fuzzy. And a little congested. And weak. And grumpy as hell. You should have heard me whining and cursing aloud as I dragged my heavy grocery bags home this evening, LOL. I have now officially designated tomorrow as a DAY OF REST, during which I do not intend to move a finger unless I feel like it. We'll see if that gets the bug out of my system (Vitamin C and nasal spray are all good, but I find that the most effective cold remedy for yours truly has always been lots & lots of sleep...).

As for the movie I watched last night... it was Little Ashes, a biopic about the relationship between Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca. ( Starring Robert Pattinson as Dali. )
