My cold is still kicking my ass, though I actually felt okay for a few hours today, except for my throat, which feels like I mistook shards of glass for Grape Nuts and had a big heaping bowl for breakfast. Only the perfect combination of Theraflu, ibuprofen, and cough drops can come anywhere close to taming it.  Without, I cough and hack like I'm trying to barf up an alien parasite.

Apparently I missed a boring chemistry class and another day of work. Tomorrow, I can skip my chemistry lab and go to Thursday's lab instead.  I have to go to at least part of photography to mount my prints for the current project.  I don't think I can swing weight lifting.  My one big problem is my weather and climate test.  I have to be there and I have to ace it.  My odds are not good.

So I spent most of my sickness making icons (new iconomicon post!) and playing Dragon Age: Origins, which is pretty fantastic.  It is literally the best parts of Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate, all mixed into one game.  I will almost be sad when I have to go back to a regular schedule and I won't have time for it.

I also took some photos of the cats.  So, yeah, if that's your thing, you may want to click the cut.

Also, No Shave Novembeard (which is competing apparently with Mustache Movember) is going well.  I haven't shaved, actually, since the middle of October so I have quite the thick mess going.  This, plus my sickeness has resulted in a general unkempt, pile-of-death feeling.  I am going to curl up on the couch and pray for the sweet, sweet, oblivion of sleep.
