Christmas Flu

Song of the flu:
Soundgarden - Fell on black days

On a normal Thursday I'd only be up at this time if I really felt like taking a long day in the office; usually I'd get up in about an hour and slowly transform from a just-gotten-up zombie-like state of mind to something a bit more human.
Unfortunately, I've been down with no voice, fever spikes and coughing out my lungs for 3 days now, and despite heavy-duty cough syrup (63.5% alcohol, 3.5% codeine), paracetamol and gallons of tea, I'm still no better and that's why I'm up this early. Doc's gonna get a call in 20 minutes when they open up and then I'll hopefully get an appointment for just after lunchtime, just so I can hope to grab at least a few hours of sleep; for some reason, the cough is worst during the night and gets slightly better during daytime...

Since my last post, S has been visiting me twice, I went to see her once more and we're pretty much constantly missing each other. I don't think I've ever been more thankful for the wonderful technology of instant messengers, voice over IP and webcams.
We've had a few small fights, mostly over misunderstandings when we were still tuning into each others frequencies and learning to know and understand each other, but for the past 3 weeks, we've been getting along just great.
I can't wait to see her again on Friday, when she comes to pick me up at the Airport and comes along to my parents' place. It has been a while that I missed someone this much ... but it feels good. :)

Work has been the same old, same old: too much to do, too little time to do it. We're slowly getting a hang of the every-day business and organisation of things, and it's starting to go smoother. I think that within the first two weeks in January we'll have things straightened out so far that it'll be least stress for everyone. A, L and me are doing pretty good I think, considering that we haven't really been doing any team leading as jobs before.

My PC arrived some odd 2 or so weeks ago, and I've slowly been getting a knack for EVE again. It's beautiful to be able to use my own machine again, and access all my files when I want to. Not to mention that it performs really nicely when running multiple EVE accounts. ;)
I'm slowly getting a nicely working and healthy balance established, with enough gaming to get my mind clear and free while not overdoing it like I did in my addict times. I guess I'm growing up or something... :)

Time flies, I'll give the doc a call and see about that appointment. Just hoping the damn cough gets better really quickly, the rings under my eyes are kind of scary...

Ta-taa.
