It lives!

Contrary to my fervent wishes, Spicy and Sour Tofu Soup from the Thai place Wednesday night did not in fact stave off the onslaught of Mr. Virus 2007. MV2007 featured the usual staples of a rissymonster cold: sore throat, sinus/chest congestion and production of more mucus than should reasonably fit in one person's head; however, it also upped the ante with a spate of 102 degree fever, ear clogginess and a three day long headache. For a while there, I was the saddest lil woobie. I even missed two full days of work, which is almost unheard of (a downside to the short commute is that I often wind up trying to work while sick).

I am still not feeling good per se, but I am feeling human-ish again. I like having use of my brains and the ability to remain conscious for hours at a time. All hail the restorative powers of soup, juice and tea!

Thanks to the bobsquatch for procuring soup/drugs and smoochies, and caramida/nickykaa/osirusbrisbane for links o' tastiness.

And now I figure out what needs to get done before I leave for the conference in So Cal Tuesday.

ETA: Based on this, I'm starting to think that flu might be more likely. Usually, with a cold, I can get a day's work done before collapsing at home, rather than needing a nap after doing the dishes. So, next year: I'm getting a flu shot, even if I have to lie about prior egg allergies to get it.
