I have the best friends in the world. *beam* Jai just dropped by on her way to lunch to bring me a mug of hot chocolate (*with* a shot of mint, just the way I like it!) as a Valentine’s day present ’cause she knew I was sick. *beam* Best friends EVAH! I’m actually feeling quite a lot better today. Still sick, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve got enough cold medicine in my system or if I’m on the mend, but…
not bad
Not bad. 5 chapters edited and 1100 words added. I’ll be very pleased indeed if I keep that up over the course of the book; it’ll come out to a just about perfect wordcount. And there’s more to add, too, but this is the first pass for adding stuff and I’ll have to do the second pass while attached to the internet, for ease in research. Nrgh. I have no brain.

Been pretty nice, all around, I’d say. Oh. And I tried on my red flapper dress…
entropy & illness
I not only defeated entropy this morning, but also a burgeoning head cold, and walked. I’m not really sick yet. I’m just getting there, and feel light-headed and bloorgy. Guess I’ll keep up with the vitamin C and hope I don’t get hit as hard as Ted did. He’s been out all week, poor guy. We went to see the new Will Smith movie, “Hitch”, last night.
