Slowly emerging

I was sick, first with fever, chills, aches and then a day later with other nasty stuff (don't ask) until about 1:00 a.m. last night/this morning. So there was no question of going back to work today. I am doing better now, though. Only symptoms left today were headache and incredible weakness. I finally managed to totter out of bed this afternoon and started a few desultory swipes at stuff that had been bugging me. I managed a load of dishes, I caught up on Quicken bookkeeping on two accounts, I helped sort laundry (but couldn't manage to carry the basket down to the basement so Rob put it in). I also scrubbed down the bathroom, finishing up with bleach wipes. I had to. It was a hazmat zone after my illness. I will spare you the details.

I read somewhere between sixteen and twenty books over the last three and a half days, I think, all checked out from the library on my Nook. What a blessing that was. I am so glad I got it.

Anyway, I should be back in the land of the living tomorrow.

Thanks to Rob for ferrying meals, tea, Aleve, water, etc. It hasn't been good; he's been thrown off his momentum entirely on fighting entropy/job hunting. He says he'll get back to it tomorrow.

He hasn't heard back yet on the Microsoft job. The legal temporary agency gig has clearly entirely disappeared in a puff of smoke. I tell him not to waste his time believing anything those people tell him anymore.
