I'm sick right now, that sort of raw illness that draws you slightly away from the world, that shrinks your skin but expands everything else. No fever, but stuffed sinuses and a marked difficultly concentrating on things. My sinuses clear up when I'm standing, but I feel sort of silly just standing in the middle of the room. Not that I'm good for much else right now.
I don't know where this came from - I felt fine yesterday. I went out for The Delightful Jeni Garber's going away party. I got to see some of her friends again (the cool local ones) and meet a few others (also cool) for the first time. I was up a little late, but not unreasonably so (I was up until 2, but since I'm usually up until 1...). I didn't drink a lot (hardly anything - one beer at the start of the night, half a vodka and tonic at the end). And yet here I am feeling sort of worn around the edges.
I hope this goes away soon; I've got a lot of shit to do, and I'm no good when I'm like this.

That's what happens when you get older. Your tolerance for alcahol becomes piss poor.
It's also the season, if you're succeptable to it, alergies. I had my first day of the sinus stuff and itchy eyes. Yucky.
Feel better soon!

Oh, this is sooo not a tolerance issue. I wasn't even buzzed last night; which was sort of my point. I do not feel sick today due to my alcohol consumption last night. No hangover for me. Just being sick.

I'm with you, Gus. I think people are entirely too over-medicated. The only time I take meds when I'm generally sick is a few minutes before I go to sleep - otherwise, the act of laying down does funky things in my head and I sort of drown in my own juices. Not a pretty image.

You had a vodka tonic on Saturday? Where was I?

Directly across the table from me, debating your own alcohol - that praerie fire shot thing.
