"I don't get why we're having a war. I mean, if Bush owns Texas, that means he owns all that oil they farm there, right? So why do we need the oil in Arabia? I mean, it probably costs a fortune just to drive the stuff over here, what with the price of gas and all." -- from a post on Usenet quoting a Dilbert newsletter ... actual speaker attribution missing.

Okay, I pushed myself way too hard yesterday. So today I spent most of the day in bed, despite having better things to do. (I even kept nodding off during the football game; I think I saw about two minutes of each quarter.) I woke up with a sore throat. :-( And all four limbs hurt. ( babbling details of my day -- nothing gross, not sure whether it's whiny or not )

There's a rantlet about perceptions of fibromyalgia percolating, but I'm not awake enough to phrase it well right now. (It's nothing others haven't already said over and over, but I feel a particular need to get it off my chest. If I still feel that way when I have the attention span to write it well, it'll get written. If not, not.)

Tomorrow I'll have to try to get out to the grocery store for chili peppers, frozen pizza, and lots of orange juice concentrate, to help me through this cold. And I have to look in the various places that throat lozenges and cough drops migrate to, to see whether I've got as many of those on hand as I think I do. Let's she how quickly I can make this annoying discomfort go away. I'm going to smell like garlic and Earl Grey tea (decaf) for the next few days.

Fortunately I have a cute furball to cheer me up. Unfortunately she can't run downstairs to fetch me a hot mug of tea.
