And it's official
Yes, I finally got tired of feeling like I was gagging all the time, and went into the doctor this morning. The diagnosis: I have a dilly of a sinus infection. He had something similar last week (in fact, it seems that EVERYBODY has gotten this at some point) so I got what he got as a cure -- 1) a cortisone shot to open up my sinuses and 2) a Z-pak (Zithromax) to get in there and clean everything out once they were open. Whee.
The cortisone shot was painless, and something is indeed happening in my sinuses -- the drainage is muy unpleasant. As a result, I currently feel like a limp dishrag and spent the bulk of the day napping or reading. As an additional result, I canceled on Aggiecon for this weekend -- a pity, alas, but to be honest I think I'd be too sick to enjoy it anyway.
At least the shot and Z-pack should fix the problem -- damn it, I'm too BUSY to be sick. Stupid Puritan work ethic, too, but there it is. At least I did get my Hugo nominations in before the deadline, and with any luck I'll start feeling a bit more sprightly tomorrow.
And in two days, a weekend. Which will be spent working on the contract doc, probably, but a weekend nonetheless. Selah.
