we had a bit of an adventure, but eventually we found the missing meower in the closet
(my 1st guess was the ensuite. 2nd guess was the library. then spouse was like "did i shut him in the guest room??" and when we'd both circled the house twice i came back to the bedroom and heard the door rattle)

Miss was illegally on the counters again so I went out, shone my phone light on her, and yelled, "Ma'am!! Get down!"
Came back to bed and spouse was like "ma'am?????"

ok here's a conundrum
while i thought i couldn't start the study drugs until January I was like "okay the cold can take another couple weeks to resolve it's fine"
but they added webinar things so now I could take the study drugs next week
I mean I guess there's a CHANCE my cold could clear up

my spouse, who caught the cold from me, is over it. like they bounced back
the thing that drives me the most nuts about being sick is i'm generally fatigued ANYWAY so i literally cannot tell if i am also back to 'normal' except for the ongoing snot or if i need to lay in bed all day to recover

I am apparently feeling somewhat better this evening and I'm like 90% sure this is because I canceled everything this week decisively. it's like,
you know how people with a headache wait forever to take the pain med and then they take it and then like 20 minutes after they take it...

supposedly i'm supposed to get an email to download the app for the propane tank monitor and tho the monitor is physically in place this hasn't happened yet and as previously discussed the company is terrible at communication (i seem to have dropped off their email list again in september. hmm)

ok the propane tank is refilled, the line is inspected and cleared of air, I think he put on a monitor but he's still parked out front—there he goes yay
as i have used all my spoons for the foreseeable future I have moved all this week's appts to feb or next week (miss's labwork is time dependent)

when we moved in last year the propane company put a shiny new gauge on the tank that was supposed to remotely tell them when our tank was below 30% and they would come fill it
and i prepaid for 300gal of propane this year
so why am i figuring out the tank is at 0% at 5 in the AM

i am the wrong level of awake. I am reasonably sure i got to sleep listening to my podcast for that but i woke up due to the need to expel mucus and now my brain won't be quiet and wants new and different media to gently ignore myself to sleep to

i feel better today but i am still sick and my primary responsibility is to rest to get better. (I say primary not only bc I also have complementary social responsibilities, like not going out spreading my germs no matter how bored I am, and some small but important things like medicating the cat)

i took an expectorant/cough suppressant and slept through the night!
I was reading a post last night on Tumblr about amazing American cold medicines that knock you out and realized most of them are combo drugs I have never taken because I take too much regularly and serotonin overload is a thing
