In which Seanan is essentially a corpse, and the cats are fluffy.

So my "little cold" turned quickly into "my big cold," and from there turned into my "oh sweet Great Pumpkin, let me die" cold. Isn't the human body awesome? I have treated it, thus far, with chicken soup and television, including a multi-hour House marathon. No matter what I've got, they've got something worse!

The cats, self-centered beasts that they are, love-love-love it when I have a cold that requires me to stay at home, crumbled under fluffy blankets and yearning for death. Why? Because it means I don't move much, and am, instead, available for endless petting of the cats. This is exactly how the world is meant to be...at least if you're asking the cats. I do love my cats. That's why they are not yet mittens.

(I'm getting my revenge, actually. I'm making them eat their Science Diet. They hate Science Diet. Mwahahahahahaha.)

The nice thing about a cold, for me, is that I get to spend the night sleeping the deep sleep of the Q-dosed heart, with its attendant, incredibly vivid dreams. I went to the premiere of the Feed movie last night in my sleep, you guys, and it was totally awesome. So hey, there's something to be said for viral amplification, right? Right?

Okay, writing this has exhausted me. I'm going to go watch more House.

Don't watch HOUSE, for pete's sake - you'll have yourself second-guessing and extrapolating your symptoms and you'll wind up convincing yourself you are suffering from some rare autoimmune syndrome you contacted from the bite of a South American spider which you didn't know you had and which you brought into your house inadvertently with that last bunch of bananas you bought - probably coupled with four other unrelated diseases and a handful of environmental toxin adverse reactions to that new cleaning stuff you bought last week which says it's nice and organic but have you LOOKED at the list of ingredients and what is that poisonous something listed in small print at the bottom of the label...?

(Get better soon..)

Nah, I found it pretty soothing. Again, no matter what's wrong with me, they're all worse.
