Sick again, yay.

osarabaOkay, so AnimeNEXT was really great. I feel bad that I didn't stay to help with breakdown on Sunday night, but I was sick. I slept with the a/c on too cold on Thursday and Friday nights and caught a cold. It's been more annoying than debilitating, but it's more than I want to deal with in any case. Stuffed AND running nose, sore throat, coughing up icky-looking things... it was good that I went home relatively early on Sunday, or I seriously wouldn't have been able to go into work on Monday.
As it was, Monday and yesterday were very difficult for me. I moved to the spot near the window so that I wouldn't be in the path of the a/c which was making me cough even more. And I've had the most difficult time focusing on work as all I really wanted to do was lay down and go to sleep.
But today I woke up feeling a bit better, and although I'm still stuffy/runny/achy, I can feel that I'm getting better. I wasn't as mentally dead today. Even if I'm coughing more -- I think it's on its death throes.
On a related note, yesterday I took out my nostril screw because it was annoying me 'cause I was blowing my nose so much (I seriously went through several boxes of Puffs). That was a bad idea. I'd already mistakenly bought an 18g screw instead of a 16g, and forgot to worry about my piercing closing up. So I forgot to put the screw back in until I came home tonight. I tried to get my old one (16g L-shaped stud, rather than the screw-shaped one) back in... but I couldn't find the hole on the inside of my nose! I thought that the hole must have gotten smaller because of wearing the 18g screw, but when I tried to get the 18g screw in, I also couldn't find the hole on the inside. =(
I switched back to trying the 16g stud (which is a lot easier to get into my nose because it's longer and not curved) and figured that whatever the pain, it would be worth it to just poke it through (unless I ended up doing some serious damage) rather than having to pay for it to be re-pierced ($30-50).
Well, so I got it back in. And it wasn't very painful at all, so all is well.
