Well, the Stilnox worked. I would say like a dream but there was no dreaming and instead of the 8 hours uninterrupted sleep my shrink said this slow release version would give, I slept for over 12. I do remember taking my 06h00 treatment meds, my 08h00 other meds and getting up to feed the cat but beyond that, nothing. Even when I did wake, I was left with a fuzzy "skin and world feel so very touchable" feeling that lasted the rest of the day.

As expected no blogging took place, the website was not upgraded and nothing else productive happened either. Well, I lie. In bonding with my couch, I managed to add about 20 rows to the left front of the baby wrap I'm knitting so that must count towards a day not entirely wasted.

Short hot night for me. Not long after I'd finally drifted off in the combined heat of an overly warm night and an unwanted fever, the alarm rang waking me for my morning treatment pills. It rings at 06h00 and there are some nights/mornings when I wonder if I have reached that insomniacs threshold where it would actually better to continue to not sleep than it would be to actually fall asleep. Nevertheless, my sleeping patterns are falling more and even more out of whack with the heat, the meds, the side-effects and my own stubborn nature. I took the pills and this time fell straight back asleep.

Seriously?! Nice new linen, aired comforter and everything smelling super great, and I have to run another fever. My body hates me!

After sleeping off another, thankfully midler fever, mom and I went to do the weekly shop. We were back at Pick n Pay Tableview as it is convienent, even if the fresh stuff isn't that great. A stop at Paddocks Spar and Woolies showed that we should be doing more shopping at Woolies for fresh food, even if we don't get our SmartShopper points there.

Damn! Yesterday's scratchy throat morphed into 38C fever overnight. I self medicated and went back to sleep, only thinking of panicing the folks if it persisted more than a few hours or went up any further.

Three cheers for Tramacet! The fever broken and my temperature dropped back to a normal 36.5C. I was also feeling more human then with the scratchy throat almost gone.

I battled to drag myself off Facebook this morning. I had things to do but somehow got stuck into WABing. I seriously needed to get on with adding content (read: blog posts) to my website and also get started on knitting the dragon-skin baby kimono I'd picked out as perfect for part of a baby set for my preggy friends.

I lost my phone at one point today. We've all seen the photos of cats sleeping on laptops. Well, mine was asleep on my phone. Small phone, big cat. Perhaps it was more like a warm water bottle for her than a heated bed. I don't know. And then of course, nothing quite says "thank you mom for the new cat litter" than frantic digging that results in a new layer of litter being deposited outside the box. Cats!
