Assorted grumbles

[mdlbear]

I've been feeling under the weather for several days now; sleepy and sniffly. I'm seeing the world through a light haze of low-grade headache and decongestants. I don't want to just go to bed, because I'll be driving home from San Francisco late tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, I discovered when I got my paycheck on the 15th that I'd maxed out my carried-over accrued vacation. There it sits, pinned at twice my annual total. Guess I'm taking next Tuesday and Wednesday off. Plus the week between Christmas and New Year, and a little more in December. Plus the trip in January for GAFilk and a visit to my Mom.

On top of that, I've managed to go walking only about twice this week that I can remember. Foo.

And I've been pretty unproductive the last two weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to get some guitar work done for the album -- I think the vocal work will have to wait until my throat improves. Fortunately there's not much of it left.

You're the second person I've talked to that confirms that one: sleepy, sniffly, low grade headache. I think calling this one the "zombie cold" would fit.

This has been a year full of colds and flu-like goodies. Take care. Hope you feel better by LosCon.
Me? I'm bringing AirBorne to the con. I have a feeling those without con crud coming in will have it when we leave if we aren't careful.
And Definitely Take More Vacations! You should be giving yourself a break, not your employer.
