end-of-the-week blogging: March 22nd

► Pictures from adventures with mindsplinters and pictishmouse! The top ones are from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and the bottom two are from a small historical car exhibit during downtown Tucson’s Second Saturday festivities.

► Pixie did an excellently thorough write-up of the trip here. I don’t have much to add to that, because while it was wonderful just to spend time with them, and while some of the trip was truly enjoyable, I developed a sinus infection the day they arrived and became progressively sicker for the duration.

► I’ve never had a sinus infection before! Even though my sinuses are almost always inflamed, and the condition runs in the family, and my mother and sister get them all the time, this is a first for me. IT’S TERRIBLE. I couldn’t make it through a full day of work Thursday or Friday because my body felt so wrecked.

► I was hesitant about antibiotics, but when I finally went to the clinic yesterday, the NP said the extreme fatigue on top of the other symptoms was a pretty sure sign that the infection is bacterial and not viral, so, you know, go for it. And I did. THANK GOODNESS. Finally starting to feel a modicum of improvement.

► And that is why all I’ve done this week is lie in bed watching Attack on Titan and Steven Universe, even though I STILL need to do my taxes, and renew my auto insurance, and get the belts on my car inspected, and give the landlord legal incentive to turn on the goddamn a/c. But I will continue (mostly) ignoring those things until I am (mostly) better, for my own good.
