Ill

[ciphergoth]

Ill because I have a cold

Ill also because I was so fuzzy-headed with the cold I took two decongestants instead of one. 120mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride BP. WARNING: Do not exceed the stated dose. If you take too many, talk to a doctor.

I phoned NHS Direct; it's not available in my area, apparently, but they gave me the number of the NHS helpline. I phoned that; they can't give out medical advice, but they gave me the number of a pharmacist.

The pharmacist says "you'll be fine, just don't take any more today".

So I'm going to be fucked in the head while these things are coursing around me; then when they wear off, I'll be fucked because I can't breathe. And I had hoped to get some of the work done that I've been putting off. I suppose I should mail my work and say "I'm ill today", but given how delayed my work is already they'd be justified in not thinking much of that.

I'm not coming to London today. I might try and drop by on my way to Berlin if I can manage it.

I enjoy thinking. Or I used to, and probably will again when I regain the capability...

Being ill is shit. I'm sorry you are unwell and hope it's improved some for you by the time you read this.

I hope hugs and comfort are available for you wherever you are.
