Got my second of two Shingrix shots yesterday. I didn't have a very strong reaction to the first one -- but this second one OMG -- I was so feverish and dizzy at work today that my supervisor told me to go home.

{{{hugs}}} I've heard it can be tough.

[ride_4ever]

*hugs moar*

Good for you for pro-active prevention. And kudos to your supervisor for letting you go rest. Best wishes to feel better soon.

[ride_4ever]

Thank you kindly!

My cold is still dragging on nearly a week later and I am just fed up with the snot production. I'm not feeling too badly (no fever or malaise or anything) and I know that it always takes about this long, but it is aggravating.

[adafrog]

Ugh. Snot is so not nice.

[ratcreature]

Yeah. It has a useful function, but it's not any less annoying for that. I guess it's slightly better than a totally blocked nose.

[kathmandu]

You have my sympathies.

[ratcreature]

Thanks.

Trying to do NaNo has not been going especially well. I'm too busy doing everything ELSE that needs doing in the day. I like to joke that I really need another girlfriend (or boyfriend!) to come in and help out, but it's not really a joke.

And in other news, found out today that some utter stain on humanity released a *pet rabbit* into the wilds around here that one of our neighbors found and took in because PET rabbit, not wild type! It is soft and fluffy and I reminder of why I hate most people.

[adafrog]

Well, shit. {{{hugs}}}

I, too, have thought about getting a ___friend to help me. But then I realize that's not exactly the best reason to have one, and change my mind. lol

[ratcreature]

That's so cruel with the rabbit. And afaik the wild rabbits native to the US are different species than the one the domestic rabbits comes from, so it's releasing a non-native rabbit kind too.

Still making progress on my map project.

[kathmandu]

Good for you!

Changing my response and making a new comment as my PC just had a power cord short and now won't turn on at all. I'm about to have a complete meltdown over this - I need my computer! I can't function like this! Especially during NaNo! I can't even shop for a replacement (not that I can afford one either) like this!

Going to breathe into a paper bag and/or cry a lot now.

[ratcreature]

Yikes. Fingers crossed it'll be fixable somehow, with maybe a fuse having caught the damage or such.
