thanateI made it all the way down to teaism in DC for a doll meet on Saturday, which is the first time in months that I've actively gone out for the express purpose of being social with a group of non-family, and managed to come home with a cold. These two events may not be related (in fact, the person I interviewed with at the aquarium last week was out sick today, so that may be where I got it-- and if so I trust I didn't pass anything on to any doll people) but the connection between be social=get sick is not a helpful one for my future mental health.
However, despite feeling cold-like and icky most of the day (except for 15-20 minute periods of lucidity after eating) I did manage to do everything I set out to do except for starting a batch of marmalade, which I think can wait a day or two. I've thought of another use for the white light maggots in yoga-- I practiced visualizing an army of white blood cells with spears running about and attacking the invading army of cold germs.![[personal profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
grauwulf, who has been bouncing off the walls recently, told me that we were well suited, which I think was a particularly unfair response coming from someone who was at the time looking at me as if my head were actually sprouting a spear-wielding immune system.
I've also obtained more free-for-using-Discover Borders cards, and spent them already ordering expensive books, including Cooking for Geeks, which I'm currently working through cover to cover out of the library. I highly recommend it to anyone with intellectual curiosity about how food works. It is entirely possible that I will be spending the next day or two curled up on the couch under an afghan reading it, but for the moment I will be going to sleep.
