So I've MIA for most of the week and that will probably continue. I had what I thought was a stomach bug on Sunday and Monday that seemed to have gotten better but has now made way for full blown flu complete with sore throat, queesiness, body aches, and fever. Seriously not happy about it as it's probably my first bout of flu since college. So not fun.

Anyway, I need to post my

be_compromised Secret Santa fic and reply to comments now that reveals are up and try to power through the last of my 12 Days fics and my

xover_exchange fic. But that is probably not going to happen this weekend.

Send psychic chicken soup please.. .or else pretty things to make me feel better?

No really, freaking ow!

Apparently on Saturday when I was moving my new exercise bicycle machine ($20 at a garage sale!!!), I managed to hurt myself, and then made it worse probably by sanding and painting the trim of my door later that afternoon.

Starting last night and into this morning, I started having pretty serious mid to upper back pain to the point that I barely slept at all. Then this morning at work, it kept getting progressively worse the longer I sat at my desk.

So I came home and worked on my laptop, alternating between standing at my kitchen counter and laying on my bed. I do seem to be feeling somewhat better, as in hopefully I can actually work AT WORK tomorrow, but we'll see.

I'll prolly be tossing back ibuprofen like candy for a couple days and wearing a permanent skunk stripe in the form of an Icy-Hot patch lol.

Just blah mostly - I've never EVER done anything to myself quite like this. No bueno!

...plus this is really not helping my workout challenge. I'm not doing anything today, and probably won't be able to do much more tomorrow.

BLAH!

So I'm not a fan of Valentines Day as I'm pretty sure I've said before. It really does tend to just be a Singles Awareness Day for those of us without a significant other and a day of forced romance for those with a sweetie. Neither is OK with me.

Usually I last through the day without too much blah - I regularly buy myself a bottle of Moscato and some flowers just to say a fond "fuck you" to the day as a whole, but today not so much. Not only was I too broke to do so, but I ended up sick as a dog around 1:30ish.

I'm not sure if I overate at our stupid Valentines potluck or if I had mild food poisoning or if I got tagged with a mild stomach flu. Whichever it is - I feelz like all the shit yall. All of it.

So on top of actually being depressed about it this year (which usually I avoid), I am also feeling like crap physically.

Fuck you very much Feb 14th. Fuck you. Very. Very. Much.

On the other side of it - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the pretty hearts guys. Yall really made me smile each time I saw something pop up in my email. I seem to be too dizzy to figure out how to give them back, but as of tomorrow I'll have a little cash to send out pretties anyway.

Also, if I said I was sending letters to you and nothing has shown up - I have a fairly massive backlog I was going to mail out today. Considering the sickie - that didn't happen. I don't want yall finding out the hard way if I'm actually contagoius. *hugs*

Blah, so after thinking I'd finally beaten this sinus crap as of Thursday and Friday, I woke up today to the same round of sniffles and drainage and my voice taking a vacation. Seriously not a happy Caity here folks!

I did make the executive decision that I am NOT going to go in to work overtime this weekend (which will be the first weekend I don't in over a month actually). I texted my boss about it, and luckily she agrees that I just need to rest and recover. I think the fact that I managed to come in all week and only left early 1 day worked to my advantage. That and the over a month's worth of over time that I mentioned before.

I think later when I'm not feeling like warmed over crap, it'll be nice to know my boss actually trusts that I'll get my work done at my own pace. For the moment, I'm just relieved not to go in on another Saturday.

But yeah, feeling fairly gross and blah, guys. I plan to get some writing done on my Secret Santas this weekend, but that's probably the limit of my productivity. I thought I'd do some Christmas shopping too, but that's looking less likely.

Tell me something fun or rec me something to read please? Just freaking anything to cheer me up would be great right know.

( Whining... approach at your own risk... )
