Writer's Block: Speak and spell

Teleport, definitely. Too many of my friends live farther than a day's drive away.

It's been pretty miserable, actually. My itchy eye was diagnosed (over the phone) as conjunctivitis, and I left work at noon yesterday to get lunch on my way to picking up the prescribed eyedrops. In passing I asked the pharmacist whether there was anything I could take for my nasal congestion that I hadn't already tried. There isn't. She said that sudafed was OK as long as my blood pressure is under control, so I started that. Not in time to keep from passing a thoroughly miserable night breathing through my mouth, and with little demons stabbing my eyelids whenever I turned over too far. :P

The eye was noticably worse this morning, but seems marginally better now. It still hurts. And itches.

I managed to work through Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. The latter was probably a mistake, though I did get to a couple of essential meetings. Good intentions or not, it's hard to work from home on one eye, half a nose, and not a whole lot of sleep.

I was feeling rather guilty about that until Naomi pointed out this afternoon that getting well is my job right now. And I was able to get a little done. And some decluttering at home, an activity that doesn't demand much more brain power than I can muster right now.

Most of today's collection of links are, not surprisingly, about the TSA and their new screening procedures.
