Home sick today, blargh. And, of course, this is the day before I planned to go shopping for the last ingredients necessary for my attempt at making lentil soup (which is great sick food).
Honestly, I probably could have made it through work today, but I just would have been hosed for tomorrow and possibly the rest of the weekend. And when it's a choice between one more day of work while uncomfortable, and a date with
shadawyn + Warmakers adventure?
Yeah.
So! Today is not so bad. Here are my happy things:
1. Since I'm not incapacitated, I should be able to be productive today. I don't want to push myself, but I want to get most of the way done with The Macho Paradox when my brain is feeling functional. When it's not, I'll break out my markers on drawings that have been inked and waiting around for coloring.
2. I'm not quite out of sick leave yet. Which is impressive, considering I've been accumulating it for less than a year, and I have a -2 CON penalty. XD;;
3. Payday!
4. I got approval from the big boss for my vacation time for the NWSA conference. I was pretty sure it would be okay, especially this far in advance, but it's nice to get the final word.
5. Wearing "Aeval" this morning. Too early for a final verdict, but right now it's gorgeous.

Oooh. Aeval keeps going on and off my wishlist. Will need to sniff yours ;)

Aeval is ... interesting. It starts out as a striking, herby/evergreen dominated floral, then an hour later the tonka bean comes out and it's an almost entirely different vanilla floral. (The faint undertone of musk ties the two together for me.) Oddly, it ends up smelling just like Fae does on me (and Fae is a weird one, because from the description it doesn't seem like it should be vanilla-like at all.)
I'll bring it to game, and we can have a little sniff-fest. :D

Hope you feel better soon, though.
Re: zinjadu
I am feeling better, thanks - a day of resting and guzzling tea helped.
