The best thing I can say for this cold is that at least it held off long enough for me to make the MAC interview. Tuesday night it knocked me properly on my ass, and I haven’t left the house since. Missed my first class of this semester Thursday—fortunately they usually spend the first one going over the syllabus.

I haven’t even gotten dressed. Just spent the last two days shuffling around in my pajamas, when I wasn’t actually sleeping. My family can tell I’m really sick if I’m in pajamas all day.

Tonight I’m feeling half-alive again. With any luck I’ll be well enough to leave the house again next week.

Less than a week into 2011, and I’m already enjoying my first cold of the year. Not the worst cold I’ve had, but I still feel crappy and off-kilter. The Director has been home sick all week, and yesterday the creeping crud caught Alpha Geek. So far the Artist seems to have escaped the plague.

The weird thing? This is the first time in decades that I’ve caught a cold when I wasn’t about to start my period. Usually I manage to miss them unless they come through the household during that premenstrual window.

This morning I went to interview for the master’s program at NCSU. Hopefully I didn’t suck too badly, despite the sore throat, sniffles, and general malaise.

Tomorrow’s the first day of class at the community college, as well—since I’ll be on campus, I can drop by the offices of the teachers I’ve e-mailed for recommendations, and get a definite yea or nay from them. Next week I take the GMAT, which is like an SAT for graduate school. The deadline for all this stuff is a couple months off, but I figure the sooner the better…

A Little TMI for the Season

I can’t decide which part of having a period is more fun:

Spending the night unable to sleep because the cramping and discomfort keep waking me up, or…

…sleeping soundly through it and waking up to find my bed resembles an abattoir.

Just a little visual to add to your holiday cheer. Enjoy.
