It never rains, but it pours. Though I guess really I shouldn't complain- it could be so, so much worse.

I have the beginnings of a sinus infection. Mom came home from work yesterday, took one look at me, and dragged me to the urgent care clinic. I called my doctor's office earlier in the day, but the soonest they could see me was in a week. Which didn't seem like such a good idea. So Mom dragged me to the clinic, and even with the hour and a half wait to get seen, I'm sort of glad I went.

I have a prescription for antibiotics, and a few things the doc wants me to try for a couple days before I fill the script. I do feel a little better today, so we'll see.

What I'd really like to do is crawl back to bed and sleep some more, but that's just not in the cards. I told my history prof I'd be in today to take the makeup test from the week before last, so I'd better be there. Plus, she's lecturing on Elizabeth I today. There's no way I can miss the lecture on my favorite monarch of all time. No way.

So even though the doc said no antihistamines, I'm propping myself up on an Advil Cold & Sinus and dragging myself to class. I haven't quite decided if I'm coming straight home after that or hanging around till Mom gets off work as usual. It depends a lot, obviously, on how I feel by the time I make it though the exam and an hour and 45 minutes of lectures.

...Yeah, I'm taking an extra bus token with me when I go today.

The really crazy thing is that even though I need sleep, and lots of it, I keep getting inspired at crazy moments to write bits of things for my

au100 claims. (Yes, I have two, for I am nuts.) They're coming along really well, but my muses and I need to sit down for a little chat. I'll be typing away at one thing, when a little voice seems to say, "You know, this is great, but here's this other idea I had to use the same characters..." And before you know it I have three things going at once, all involving most of the same people. It's just a tad bit confusing, and of course none of these things have titles yet. So I make notes and try to lable them with the somewhat random filenames the Word documents start out with- which sometimes have less to do with the plot as it develops than it did when I started it.

But, you see, if I change the filenames now? I'll never be able to remember the new ones.

I am so, so tired. Here's hoping the Sudafed in the Advil C&S kicks in soon.
