Hiding in the hobbit hole.

So I'm at that stage in my cold where I am too energetic to sit around vegging and attempting to feel better, but not quite well so that minor exertion flattens me pretty quickly.

I hate the fact that from a social perspective, I pretty much find myself hiding out from the world and continuing to let this thing take its course. But I find that I don't have the patience for that. :-D

I'm working, inasmuch as I can. What I mean by that is that I'm well enough to show up, keeping in mind the throat clearing and occasional coughing I'm sure drives people nuts. But not always very comfortable and my head feels foggy a lot of the time. I struggle to concentrate and were my job to require intense concentration, I would have given up and stayed home just on that basis. Fortunately, for most days, this is not the case.

My continuing goal is to keep my schedule as free as possible since the chest-cold hermit stage is in full force, and breaking with it tends to leave me feeling worse.

That.. and I'm sure somewhere along the line, I'm still contagious. And you guys don't need this crap.
