Okay (except NOT), now it's official. I'm suffering from nasal rebound congestion. Well, the package said not to use it for longer than 3 days. I had some relief on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And, then, last night, it was time for vengeance. I had to give up trying to sleep and stayed up until 3-ish, at which time I fell into a weird sleep, waking up at the first hint of noise around 6. Grrrrrrrrr.
Is it any wonder I had a good brekkie (aka ham and cheese and lettuce and pickles on a bagel). Lunch was special for Valentine's day. Yes, it was chocolate cake. When I went down to get the mail, I nearly shrieked (well, back inside after I'd opened the envelope). Not wanting to risk being charged with slander (as if someone will snoop around here), so all I will say is "You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!!" Just wait until I tell Brian. I also commented on SLOG. No guesses as to the topic. Okay, I'll spill. It appears that when same-sex parents raise adopted children in red states, there is a direct corelation between how accepting the state and its people are and the mental health of the children in their first year of adoption. I also worked on my latest McShep, but wasn't finished yet. And I finally made a McDex icon for my two (and possibly future) McDex fics. Yay!
Dinner was a bagel with tomato and melted cheese. Yummy, of course. And some popcorn. Because I am silly. And so very tired. In cute news, John's sister called from overseas and we had a wee bit of a chat. In the evening, I just happened to catch the special edition of Jeopardy where two of the highest-earning players (::waves a fond hi to Ken Jennings::) were pitted against a super-computer (named Watson). It was fascinating to see the way the developpers had worked with the computer and also silly to see how it could misunderstand a question. Also its top three answers as well as a probabiility factor which, when it wasn't reached, prevented the computer from - uh - pressing the buzzer.
After that, it was Little Mosque on the Prairie. And, finally, a very sleepy watch of Castle. You'd think I would have learned by now that watching something at 10 p.m. while lying down is dangerous. You'd think. And, now, I'm dreading lying down without any relief for my nose, except for the exhortations of my two piggies. Unfortunately, "You go, mum" has yet to be patented as a decongestant! ::scratches head:: Not sure why.
