I had the Plague most of last week. It started with running a fever when I got home on Thursday night the 12th. Then it was up and down Friday, and then I was basically fine all weekend -- fine enough to actually run down to NYC for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jessruth's birthday dinner on Saturday night and drive back the next morning (!), and run around to a concert and another b'day party and a rehearsal... before coming home and collapsing. By which time I was running a fever again, and so it went the rest of the week: wake up, feel not quite so on the brink of death, go to work (late, mostly), go to rehearsal... and be back on the brink of death by the time I crawled home. But I couldn't stay home altogether because the Major Work Event was coming up and I had a zillion things to do on deadline.
Also, did I mention I broke not one but two thermometers? (By dropping them while trying to either clean or shake them down.) The first was mercury, of which hazards I have a rather greater appreciation now that I am married to acrack hazmat response team scientist; the second was the non-mercury replacement which I bought (after a few days of getting annoyed with J's digital one reading anywhere from 97.9 to 98.1) and then dropped immediately upon completing the first use.
But by Friday I was on the mend (physically, if still bottoming out emotionally, but that's also much improved now as PMS Day is past and my general reserves are bouncing back). Got in some R&R this weekend, thanks in part to having bagged on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lunacon -- and the Major Work Event went off successfully on Sunday night. So for this couple of days, we're doing several kinds of post-event cleanup and enjoying being able to leave at 5:30pm again.
Tonight: a mountain of laundry (literally, it's towering about 3 feet high at this point) and dinner withablock before my 9:15pm rehearsal call. And it's sunny and mild out and I am, despite the lingering low-grade hacking cough, happy.
J is going on interview #4 this week -- at Columbia! *does the dance of joy* He's going down Wednesday afternoon, interviewing Thursday and some of Friday, returning Friday evening. (Interview trip #3 was March 5-7, to IU Bloomington. No further commentary on that for now, at least in the public record.)
And Thursday is Rosh Chodesh Nisan, which means Passover is barely 2 weeks away. On the one hand: Gah! On the other: I get an honest-to-God work vacation the entire week, much of which (after getting back from having both seders in Virginia, which I'm also much looking forward to) I expect to spend on housecleaning and general life maintenance, in the best possible ways... and admixed with judicious amounts of plain goofing off. Awww yeah. *dusts off the GameCube*
April calendaring to come next week. ;-)
