In a fit of childish fitfulness, I stomped my feet this morning and said I don’t *care* if I’ll pay for it later, I’m Not Working Today. So I’ve been watching Smallville with Ted and reading and doing a bit of shopping. I may watch a movie in a little while here. Take *that*! I did peek at the copy-edited TQB manuscript, and it is *nothing* like the horror the HoC ms was, so even if it’s just shy of 600 pages long I’m not quite as dismayed about the…

What am I doing up? I gotta say, though, this homeopathic cold cure I was given at Pi-Con (by a shaman, no less) works goddamned miracles. He gave me a couple pills each of arnica and belladonna which are diluted to the point of having no recognizable, er, well, poison, but which for whatever obscure magical reason retain or obtain a healing quality during the reduction process. The god-awful cold I had that weekend was 90% better the next day. I’ve been taking, through the course of this one, arnica…
