in which I am surprisingly alive
So, good news (assuming you like me), I am not dead. If you don't like me, well, I'm sorry to have pass on this information but there it is.
I spent most of today in bed. Sleeping, that is, and not anything else. I woke up at about 8 AM because I needed to use the bathroom. The cat was meowing at me for his breakfast, so I fed him, and then went back to bed. Stayed asleep until about noon, then woke up and fiddled around playing games on my phone for another hour or two, at which point I figured I probably should get up and maybe eat something if I wanted to continue with this being alive thing.
Took a shower. Felt okay. The skin on my nose was peeling terribly, thanks to all the sneezing and nose-blowing I've been doing. I can mostly breathe now, though. It just sort of feels like I have an air/snot bubble in my nose/throat. And I still sound pretty crappy also.
Went to Starbucks for caffeine and also a bit of banana-chocolate-chip coffee cake, which I suppose counted as breakfast. Went to Mom's. Had dinner. Also, Uncle #2 and Uncle #4 returned from Maine. Uncle #4 complained that Uncle #2 is annoying and grumpy and miserable, which we all knew to be true anyway. Talked a bit more about Maine, and he said a few more things about the house.
The cat just climbed on to my laptop. Sometimes he comes on to the bed to visit with me and then he almost always sits right on the laptop keyboard. A short while ago, he depressed the power button, causing the computer to restart. This time he just typed the number 21. Does it mean something? No, probably not. But we can pretend it does if you like?
I realized some time last night that I actually do own a digital thermometer and so I took my temperature and saw that it was about 99.5, so there, I did (sort of) have a fever. But in that respect - the temperature thing, that is - I feel okay. Tomorrow I need to do laundry, which involves carrying a sack of clothes out in the heat, which will make me feel hot and tired, but in a normal sort of way.
I don't think I have anything else to say. I don't believe my brain is functioning at full capacity yet. Perhaps more later?

That is most excellent news! : )
Happy you are ok and feeling better. This is good news!!
Good that you are almost over with the sneezing episode. I suppose by monday you will be back to normal.
I guess I can take a little bit of heat. I tend to like evenings because it is so cool. My parrot so far is good company, he is a good watchdog and I suppose I should say he does not spot possums in the shop very good.
Yes there was a baby possum visitor. He came in the store twice and that is that (my brother found him dead the other day so no more possum visits.)
I hope your cat keeps the mouse away and doesn't bring you his catch.
Really glad you're feeling better. Just in time for the work week...
glad you're feeling better too. not glad it's sunday though. and laundry day.
Surprisingly? Anyway, glad you're feeling better.
@lanney - thank you, glad you think so, too. :)
@Grannys_Place - Yes, I agree. :)
@PPhilip - Ugh, possums, I hate those things. So ugly! My cat has not brought me any mouse, but I haven't seen any either, so I am hoping his presence is keeping them away.
@Zoz36 - yeah, I know, right? Well, next week is vacation, so at least I will be feeling okay for that. A couple of times in the past it has happened that I was sick during vacation, which sucked.
@promisesunshine - Bleh, laundry. Maybe I'll just go shopping and buy all new clothes.
@randaness - Ha, I might have embellished for dramatic effect, since the odds of a sinus infection/cold/whatever that was killing me are probably fairly low.
glad you're alive...sounds like you're pretty far on the "alive" side of the line if you could make it to Starbucks, so that's good. Enjoyed a tall skinny hazelnut latte myself this morning. It's good to be alive!
Does Squirt like to watch cat videos? I bet he would love them. My cat used to like to watch lions chase those zebras on NatGEO.
