Bad news: Am sick, having caught what
Good news: Have learned that new-formula Sudafed doesn't mess with my heart nearly as bad as old-formula Sudafed does. And spiced cider mix is wunnerful wunnerful stuff, much better for dealing with this than hot tea is, as it doesn't desiccate as is soothes.
Bad news: Can't take medicine while I'm asleep, and 4-hour doses just don't cut it, so not sleeping well and keep waking up with bad sore throat & stuffed up sinuses. Have apparently also forgotten how to use first person nominative terminology.
