Excuse me? What was that? Huh?

My ears are clogged. Is this what old age feels like? (Achey, deaf, wanna sleep all the time. And my jaws ache too. Weird.)

Thera-flu is my friend.


Getting some good conversation on the (new) Marinus Cook's Guild List about what to buy to restore our supplies to something useful. Man, I can't believe how bad everything went down between when I stopped cooking and when I started again. Oh my Gawd. But it'll bounce back. Especially with four or five eagle-eyed shoppers looking around. I got a kitchen-supply catalogue in the mail a couple of days ago courtesy of a non-cooking baronial member with a nice network of friends. :) I haven't opened it yet - anything requiring thought is not happening in my world until after the worse of this cold passes. I have such a teeny brain, you see, that any kind of sinus pressure just squeezes out all cognizance.

I've been eating, eating, eating. Finally figured out why - chewing helps relieve the pain in my face and ears. I need to convince Arni that he's healthy enough to make a store run so we can get supplies and I can get some gum - else I'm going to be too fat to fit through the door!
