suppose updates are good

otherwise, you'll all three of you (maybe only both) think i've gone and died. or something. anyway, the update is this. i've got the sources, i've been working steadily, and what's left is typing the annotations and writing a reflection.

and emailing the beowulf prof to apologize for the absence tomorrow. sorry sr, [family name] or not, i've got to call it quits at some point. the fever has dropped to a fairly steady 101, though the point fluctuates a bit. the cough has gotten significantly worse, and i'd be more burden than anything else in class. the voice has evened out to a nice low croak, but it isn't going away or anything. i'm glad. one thing i'll give this sucker, though: the sleep is nice. i could get used to all the sleep. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a restful weekend so i can stay in bed except for lukewarm showers, water, and small meals. though i'm not thirsty, i know better than to get dehydrated. the last thing i want is a UTI of doom on top of this.

i did buy some chicken at the store, and i ate a teeny tiny bit of it. i thought i could finish a whole thigh, i really did. but i guess the appetite isn't back yet, though i do get hungry. hungry's a plus. i also bought another spaghetti squash. it's better each time i eat it, no matter what i pair with it. it might just become my new pasta. this time i'm going to cut it in half the short way instead of the long way. theoretically, that should be easier. [note to sr: no, i won't come home picky. if you guys would like to do the spaghetti squash thing just to see, that's fine. if not, also fine.]

but now i'm going to draft an email, type out my annotations, and see where i am. maybe bed after that, and maybe reflection.

love and peace
