Sick and tired...

[rflong]

Home sick from work for a second day. The minor cough I had to the last month has basically knackered my chest so I am armed with inhalers and a super-drowsy making cough syrup. The first plan was to curl up on the sofa with lots of tea and watch digital tv. But we have no milk and the digital broke down. I will have to go out shopping!!! And deal with NTL on the phone, which means staying on hold listening to rubbish tinkly music. I am feeling very sorry for myself indeed.

Yes, I should sleep, but that involves having a workable bed, but a middle of the night spillage which has resulted in children being banned from our bed in perpetuity means that is out of the question. Grrr....

Writing wise: I'm ploughing ahead on the new idea, because this always happens to me so I am just going to throw time and energy at it until I run out and turn my attention back to something else. I'm on to Chapter 3. :D

I got a rejection from IGMS for Old Friends last night. I have a print out of it so will give it a once over today and try to get it out again as soon as possible.  I still have to do the same with The Wolf's Sister. My main worry is that The Wolf's Sister is a much bigger job.

It also looks like I will be brushing off The Penitent again, as my time with MacMillan is up with no word from them, which I guess means a no. *sigh* I think I will hit the agent trail again. At least you generally get your rejections!

HEY! The TV has come back! Things are looking up! :D

Oh, poor you, but I'm glad the tv is back :). But it's hard when it all seems to come at once like that. Hopefully the mega-drowsy syrups and all did their job :).

I know what you mean about the bed--it's amazing what they can do to one! We finally gave up and got a gigantic piece of foam, so we can take it out and hose it down. Of course, now I want a real bed, but the foam is still perfectly fine. :)

yeah, I took some and slept for about 3 hours this afternoon. I has some vividly wierd dreams though. I did a little bit of editing first though. I'll try to do a bit after lunch. Good thing is the inhaler appears to be doing the trick and my chest doesn't quite feel as if someone was hammering on it for hours.

The cat appears delighted to have me home. He gave me loads of affection and cuddles and now he is pointedly ignoring me. In an affectionate way.

Lunch calls.

Get well soon. And until then, take it easy. :-)

It sucks being sick and trying to write. I got a bout of flu in the middle of NaNoWriMo last year - not fun!
