Happy Valentine's Day! Or happy Wednesday!
Valentine's Day is usually pretty mellow for us.
I got Alex a plastic horse, a plushie and some candy. He got me a fancy mug I'd admired, a plushie, and a box of candy. <3
For dinner we got carryout from the Indian restaurant near us. It was delicious as always, but the butter chicken was spicier than usual! It was still very good, but hotter than I expected. (Honestly... still probably barely inching into "medium" heat; I'm just a wimp, and usually it's very mild.) We also got samosas and garlic naan.
Now we're watching a pretty average-quality Tubi-original horror movie.

I am not thrilled that my cough got quite a bit worse last night. It's been fairly steadily improving, but last night it woke me several times and kept me up. This morning also had that hint-of-hint-of infection flavor to it for the first time in a couple weeks. I don't want the original bronchitis to be having a resurgence, and I also don't want some opportunistic secondary infection. No thanks!

Yesterday I got my NaMoPaiMo model primed... which revealed seams that I missed sanding off. So tonight I tried to file those down, and if possible I'll try to get it reprimed in the bathroom tonight, so I can actually start working on it tomorrow. Only halfway through the month! It's fine!
(I'd rather prime it outside, which we were able to do yesterday, but I won't have any warm-enough daylight hours outside of work for another week, and that definitely won't leave me time to finish. So cardboard box in the bathroom it may have to be. Or maybe Alex will have a chance to do it during the day.)

Writing is still not happening. I feel like a bird hitting a window.

Dreading Saturday at work. Really terrible new class procedure that we have to do, and it'll be the first time we're closing a series with it. I DO have help, fortunately, but I am not looking forward to it.
-
Sunday night might be going over to Taylor's again. They get a lot of comp time for being on-call, so are able to take periodic time off and will sync their ability to get a three-day weekend with my regular days off. Looking forward to it!

I'm mostly not taking meds anymore, because it's not constant enough to really seem to make a difference. I was doing generic nyquil and the px cough syrup at night, and generic dayquil and generic cough syrup during the day (because the px stuff made me too dizzy for daytime use). It'd *feel* like it was doing fuck-all... and then it would wear off, and I'd realize that shit, that WAS it helping!
I often wake up on my back, but have a very hard time falling asleep on my back. Icy hot does help a very little bit, but the worst of the pain is in the lumbar disks themselves, and it just doesn't reach far enough to hit them. (It'd probably also help if the dogs weren't flopping around so much all night - I wind up adjusting to sleep around them, lol.) At least it's down to only a few fits per night that keep me awake for any length of time... Though that's still frustrating. Good sleep really is the best way to get better!
