Today I found myself thinking "Man, this is getting annoying - coughing and sneezing more than usual, stuffy nose turning into post-nasal drip that's giving me a sore throat, and ears that don't *quite* hurt but feel like they're about to, plus I've been feeling like butter-over-too-much bread, like I need to get more sleep except I can't when I try, and my appetite is gone and my digestion's feeling picky - I hope I don't get sick."

And then I stopped and thought about that list of symptoms and went, wait, what more would I have to *get* to qualify as "sick"? Basically the only symptom left is a fever, and I almost never get fevers.

(The things is, it's all just right at the level where as long as I keep busy, I don't consciously notice it - but if I stop moving for a few minutes, I realize I'm miserable. And really it's all only maybe one tick above my usual level of "damn you physical body" anyway. So I'm actually maybe even getting more done than usual, because I don't want to stop moving long enough to notice that I feel bad. So I'm not *really* sick. Right? Right.)

...of course reading kaiju drift hangover fic whenever I can't sleep probably isn't helping the weird oogy feeling. :P

ANYWAY on to important things. Like Yuletide.

The extra two request slots are screwing me up! I have, I think, five requests I know I'm asking for (the four things I nominated: paleontology RPF, Bran/Tru, Arm Joe, Lovelace and Babbage + Lucky Starr) but that leaves one slot open, and I have to *decide*! Augh.

Here's my current list of possibles for request six:

( It's less than 20 I can totally narrow it down to one! )

This is your chance to talk me into one of them. :P

And, just for fun, my extremely preliminary offers list:
( Not... not less than 20 )
