House O' Pestilence

[przed]

So, last weekend I was out from Saturday to Monday with the worst migraine I've had in at least ten years. (I actually went to the doctor and got the serious migraine drugs for it.)

This week, Ros got a truly horrendous cough on Thursday (which is weirdly okay during the day, but gets so bad at night that she's nearly thrown up), and then Friday night the Sweetie developed aches, chills and fever. (103, off and on.)

At the moment, I'm the only well one in the house.

A house, I might add, that looks like a bomb exploded in it. If there was a bomb made up entirely of doll clothes, toys and cat hair, that is.

And this just as I was hoping to watch stuff on the PVR, get some serious work done on the Batman vid, and put more words down on my UNCLE Down the Chimney story. (I got prompts that required plot! And research! And I actually have nearly 2,000 words written.)

Oh yeah, and after years of contemplating it, I signed up for Yuletide.

And also wrisomifu. A.K.A. Write Something You Miserable Fuck. Because draycevixen did. And I love the name. And I'll never do NaNoWriMo. And it may actually get me through the UNCLE and Yuletide stories.

::sigh::

We had the same cough thing going around here for most of October. I was the first one with it - got over it and got it from the kids again. The kids would be fine during the day and hacking up a lung when they went to bed.

Hope everyone is feeling well soon.

The writing projects sound good - not sure where you find the time!

Here's hoping Ros gets over the coughing thing real soon. (Not a peep from her so far tonight. Fingers crossed...)

This from a guy who's going to do NaNoWriMo? (Good luck with that, and I mean that in the most non-sarcastic way.)

The thing is I have participated in NaNoWriMo twice and both times my word count was so pathetic, I don't think it would have mattered if I was in NaNo or not.

I am hoping this year will be different.
