I've been in a bit of a fog all week, and today was I think the worst. I woke up at 5am (not unusual) and stumbled to the bathroom (utterly normal), on my way colliding with the bookshelf (which has been there for five years) painfully (though it seems to have not left a mark). Then I couldn't get back to sleep until 9. I wisely unset my alarm. It took a while to head off to work.
Shenanigans related to 2nd Thursday continue. Shenanigans related to the new helpdesk software continue. I have Opinions.
Purple was still out. Wednesday he knew he was contagious and worked from home. Thursday he was pretty much nonfunctional. Today he was apparently mostly functional but still coughing.
My buddy phone from #cupcake had leftover lemon bars that he brought in to share. Currently #cupcake has three representatives in building B and three in D. However, Purple was out sick still, and lb was off celebrating an anniversary. That left three #cupcake denizens in D. So we converged around our downstairs kitchen and had a bit of a chat.
Later, phone got to meet a few folks on my team over beer. I wasn't feeling terribly well at that point; by the time my everything stopped hurting, there was no food left. C'est la vie. Also, when The Norseman talks, I generally have to listen a second time. The combination of low volume, low pitch, accent, and I'm probably not watching to lip-read, is pretty dire for getting it on the first try.
I should really learn that when I'm feeling tippy enough to blunder into the bookshelf, it's probably about to be bloodcannon time. In the past approximately 10 years, the terrible grinding cramps in the first 48 hours of bleeding (present in the first approximately 10 years) sort of stopped happening. So now when I get cramps, everything is terrible even if they don't actually incapacitate me if unmedicated the same way that they used to.
Age 17: no painkillers: curl up into ball and wail
Age 17: over-the-counter painkillers: basically normal
Age 17: ibuprofen: normal, thankful that ibuprofen is over-the-counter
Age 30: no painkillers: basically normal
Age right now: no painkillers: sore and hella cranky
Age right now: ibuprofen: slightly less sore and hella cranky
Age right now: wondering if another shoe's about to drop
A brief timeline of hugs:
December 2013: hug offered, not accepted (baseball bat and vodka would have been helpful though)
January 2014: hug accepted
April 2014: regular hugs goodnight
August 2014: virtual hugs
I find it amusing that either I've never noticed hugging in chat with Purple before, or we never actually did that. Despite fairly regularly hugging in person.
My attention span is suffering. I think I need more sleep, and more hours in the day.
