Viruses 2, Deborah 0

Flu update: the worst of the symptoms have lessened, leaving sludgy lungcrud of the sort that (a) will turn into bronchitis if I am not diligent in resting; (b) requires codeine to suppress coughing at bedtime.

New virus, as in conjunctivitis. Of the viral variety, which includes copious watery discharge of the (usually single) affected eye, making (a) the wearing of contact lenses impossible as well as inadvisable; (b) postnasal drip, continuing on down to lungs -- see above -- (c) reading of any sort challenging.

Thanks, everyone, for letting me whine. At least, all this inactivity is helping my thumb tendinitis to heal.

Back to bed like a good little Deborah...
