Sickness
Toward the end of my time back in Michigan, I started to get very stuffed up and had difficulty sleeping. I diagnosed it as allergies, because my sister has a pet rabbit that she allows to run loose throughout the house. As so often happens, however, my diagnosis of allergies kept me from properly treating a cold, and much of my weekend has accordingly been taken up with sleeping. It seems that this happens to me at least twice a year -- normally once in the spring, then again in early winter, I catch something that puts me completely out of commission for a couple days.In this case, it has completely thrown off my plans. I had made up my mind that this weekend I would "catch up" on all the lingering small stuff, in order to clear out unadulterated study time for my deconstruction exam. The biggest "small" task was writing up my notes over Hadewijch, which would bring my interminable directed reading on medieval theology to a close. I did manage to do laundry, take out the trash, go grocery shopping, and write a brief (and satisfyingly negative) book review.
I also was able to sqeeze in several hours of self-pitying IMing with whoever would listen, which mostly meant The Girl. I continue to have a lot of high ambitions for earth-shattering blog posts and for finally editing a paper of mine on Augustine and trying to send it somewhere. The actual result is likely to be a couple hours of Law and Order: Criminal Intent, followed by another nap. All I've got to say is that it had better be an episode with Goren and Eames, not Mr. Big.
