*crawls out from smibbles*
FINALLY. The antibiotics have started to fully kick in, making me feel like a mostly normal human being again. Minus the really bad cough now that's keeping me up until 8AM yesterday and 4AM today. No, I did not work yesterday. I slept. (See 8AM note). My boss understood. Bless him. Today, I finally went back to work and started crawling out of the mess of projects, campaigns, meeting rescheduling, PR launches and frantic employee "YARGH" discussions that they were politely holding. Couldn't put in a full day yet, as now I have no voice. But it's getting better.
Holy crap, I forgot how much strep throat sucks. Plus a cold on top of it. :/
On the bright side, while I was too blergh for client work work, I apparently was just lucid enough (in theory) to rewrite the opening of my pirates novel. The characters seemed to think me coughing and on an ice cream/soup only diet meant "yeah! let's talk about busting pirate balls"...take that how you will. And yes, yes that does have multiple meanings, and yes, yes they do all apply.
I'm waiting to hear if I broke it before I stick anything anywhere near SYW. So don't look at me like that.
and yes, dammit, I removed some of teh sparklies...
Grudgingly.
Some.
Also, I have started binge-watching Vikings after reading a LOT of Scottish highlander romances these past five days. I know they don't go together, but somehow in my mind, the brain said "go watch bloody Vikings" after swoony Scotsmen. In my defense, I'm still slightly sick and on meds.
I'm sure this all bodes well for the pirates.
Time for ice cream!
~Winks, who is going to hold off just a litttttttle longer before she sends out more queries.
P.S. WHY ISN'T BLACK SAILS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON PRIME? WHY? CURSE YOU, UNIVERSE. CURSE YOU.
P.P.S. You can roast the smibble pile now.
