A multi-symptom cold

I'm down for the count, friends. Justin had a horrible cold last week, and I, well, I didn't believe that it was really that bad. I'm paying for it now, because I have that same horrible cold, and I feel absolutely awful. I've been down since late Thursday night, and the only thing I can take without getting stomach pains is night-time cold medicine. Which is fine, because I do love sleep. But I was so looking forward to this weekend. Blurg. Anyway, I hope to be feeling better tomorrow, but I thought that last night, too.

In the meantime, I watched The Squid and the Whale, Every Little Step, and several episodes of my favorite Bravo shows (I include Project Runway in that because, I'm sorry, it will never be a Lifetime program unless one of the designers goes insane and starts stalking another designer). There's been reading and crossword puzzles (both bed activities), as well as lots of crocheting. Cathy taunted me with beautiful yarn until I signed up for the 2010 potholder swap. I'm on the final front - just the backs left to do after this. I'm very pleased with my yarn selection, and the whole thing has actually been rather fun. I haven't crocheted in a long, long time. It was my gateway craft, and like most gateway crafts, it got left behind for its more versatile cousin, knitting. I hope to finish all my potholders this week and get them in the mail before the deadline. Going to the post office is the hardest part.
