Black Doggerel

I've come down with something and feel like shit. bleh.

on the other hand I coined a word today. Astroteuthid = giant spacegoing squid. IN SPACE, YO.

Also, ambersaigh just showed me this so I pass it on for added entertainment.

I sort of assumed that once the DWP shit was over with, things would be back to what passes for normal round here. It shouldn't surprise me that this is not in fact the case. Over the last few months the spoon (and cash) deficit had become so critical that everything in my life not absolutely necessary for keeping myself breathing and my dogs and cats healthy ground to a complete halt. My whole life's currently looking a bit like 1945 - I'm shaky and exhausted and have nearly no energy or resources, but there's so much I need to get done, and so much I badly want to throw away and rebuild from the ground up.

I've also come out in a horrid itchy rash all over my chest and neck. I've no idea if this is stress, a side effect of the new meds (my doctor's switched me from Seroxat to Zoloft) or something else entirely. Ibuprofen gel seems to be helping, or at least soothing it.

So bear with me please if I don't quite seem like myself for a little while yet.
