So I'm still sick. Coughing and snuffly and whatnot. But the strangest thing happened while I was making myself breakfast: I realized that I had energy. Not just the energy that I've been without since I came down with this cold a couple days ago, but the energy that I've been without since at least the beginning of this semester in January. I feel more clear-headed, and more motivated, and not quite my old self but a lot closer to it.

Now I'm afraid that this feeling is going to go away as quickly as it came, or that it's just a function of my drugs kicking in and not real. But I'm going to enjoy it for as long as its here. I'm going to go take a shower, and then straighten up around the house, and then work on my fic (because I swear to God, sjhw_tolerance, I have been working on it and its nearly finished) and then go to my hair appointment and then go to work tonight.

I feel like I haven't even been able to think that many steps ahead in forever.
