Ugh, I’ve come down with my seasonal cold and its sucky. Spent most of yesterday in bed, not so much sleeping as thrashing about trying desperately to sleep. Eventually I took some Tylenol, which did the trick.

I was trying to rest up for the raid I had that evening. Now that I’m back at my WoW job, there are expectations that I show. So I tried. I really tried.

This is what I learned. World of Warcraft is really hard when sick. Couldn’t concentrate on dpsing with spots in my vision and an inability to remain upright. Thankfully a friend took over for me and I returned to bed. But hey I tried.

Feeling somewhat better today (yaaay sleeping for 12 hours), but there is another raid tonight. Will just have to see how I manage that one. Oooh and I’m healing at tonights raid. Should be interesting.

Well its been a pitiful January thus far. The end here is punctuated with a stomach flu making its way around the house.

Its been fun!! Yeah, I am hoping that after recovery, inspiration will kick in again. But then a whole week of feeling like ass has left me dubious about wanting to do anything besides sleep ever again.

My husband has managed to guilt me into leveling my druid to 85 (in WoW) with his call for guild healing. I was leveling her anyway because I want to get the all classes at 85 guild achievement, but now I am going to have to actually heal. I have no idea how to heal as a druid since they changed everything, plus my head is all fuzzy (being sick and all) that everything I read about it so far hasn’t been making much sense. Sleeping is helping to keep my panic over healing at bay. =D

Anyway, I hope everyone is getting through flu season a little more unscathed then all of us here at the plague house.

In generally I try to avoid personal stuff on the website, but every now and then a few life bits just have to be shared. Like today; mostly because I feel bad about not having posted in a while.

I’ve been feeling pretty bunk lately, which means I have almost no motivation to write (<– not something that comes naturally to me, it requires many swift kicks in the ass to complete!) So when I’m not feeling great its even harder for me to get my act together. Thus the lack of posting. Anyway I’m dealing with that whole thing and am finally feeling better.

Plus at the beginning of the month we fell into fostering a lovely high school senior for the year. By fell I mean it was not premeditated, but this lovely young lady needed a place to call home and for some crazy reason decided that we were worthy. Its been a whirl wind and I have found myself enchanted, terrified, confused, mortified, and quite amused. She fits into our life well, like she was supposed to be here anyway. =)

The whole experience also reminds me of how happy I am not to be a teenager anymore.

I just slept twenty two hours out of the last thirty six. It is incredible how much I can not get done while I’m sleeping. To make matters worse I was exhausted for the twelve hours I was awake. Hell I’m exhausted now, which means I should probably be sleeping. UGH.

It almost feels like my inner seventeen year old has reared its ugly head. I sleep all the time and am incredibly moody when I’m awake. To say I was happy to leave that whole thing behind is a rather large understatement.

Hopefully I can sleep my way back to my current age. =P
