Scraps for a sickly Monday.

seanan_mcguire1. I am sick, yes, even unto death. It's this stupid cold. I've been fighting it off since I got home from Conclave, and then yesterday, it just walked up behind me, hit me over the back of the head with a plank, rifled through my pockets, and took all my stuff. I spent all of Sunday on the couch, sniffling, drinking orange juice, and watching Criminal Minds. Oh, and sleeping. I slept a lot. I feel better today, but that's like saying I'm happier now that the lizard has been removed from my ear. Still miserable, just less lizard-y.
2. Yes, I am watching Criminal Minds. But as I have now seen the first three episodes of the first season, please don't ask me if I was crushed when character A died in season three. I haven't been able to be crushed yet, and I'd like the opportunity to mourn when I get there.
3. Assuming this cold backs the hell off, I am still going to be at OVFF this coming weekend. If you're waiting for a shirt from me, and are going to be at the convention, please let me know so that I can package your order for hand-delivery. If you don't tell me, clearly, that you'll be there, your shirt will not be coming with me. I don't have the suitcase space for guesses.
4. I am about 4,000 words from the end of Ashes of Honor, which is good, since I expect to receive my Blackout page proofs any day, and need to be able to focus on going through and writing STET a lot. ("STET" is editorial for "no, do not make this change." I use it to argue against people who don't believe in the Oxford comma, and people who try to standardize my use of "Miss" to "Ms.")
5. I am too sick for a list of ten. Now is when I fall on my face and die.
Catch you when I wake up.

Date: 2011-10-17 03:49 pm (UTC)Me? This is me staying the heck away. I've got a week in Hawaii coming up. I will BITE anyone who makes me sick ahead of that.
I also sleep nights, take vitamins daily and it's known to Coyote I'm always good for uneaten chicken nuggets, fresh fruit and other things the kid won't eat. So far, this year? It's working. *knocks wood*
Work as you must, but rest rest rest. Nothing else fixes sicks like it - I've tried. (Feel better soon.)

And I hope you feel a lot better soon.

Date: 2011-10-17 06:14 pm (UTC)I won't be at OVFF but my friend Betsey Langan (aka Jerusha) will be and has graciously agreed to serve as transport for said shirts. My real name is Angela Karash and I ordered 4 shirts.

Date: 2011-10-17 07:32 pm (UTC)And if you haven't mailed them yet, I'm fine if you'd rather deliver my posters in person at OVFF. But only if it's easier than mailing!! You can just reimburse me the shipping if we go that route.
I know you don't have a lot of time to rest and take it easy so while I hope you make it to the con, please make the decision also based on keeping your body (and sanity) where it needs to be to be okay. Whatever you need to do to stay healthy. *hugs*

Date: 2011-10-17 09:08 pm (UTC)One of my mother's pet peeves was receiving mail addressed to Ms or being asked if she was a Ms. She was a Mrs and happily let everyone know so, before she was married she was a Miss and strongly objected to being made into a Ms. I know it sounds weird and maybe I'm really old fashioned, but I like the word Miss, it has a certain ring to it, an elegance that Ms doesn't.
