In which she's pretty much recovered

zeborahSince I whined so much about being sick I suppose I ought to let everyone know that I went back to work Monday and didn't fall down. Actually I felt pretty darn good. So I must be better!
Of course I've still got a snuffly nose and occasional empty cough (this is a technical term I invented just now for a cough that erupts despite the fact that there's nothing in your lungs but air, because your diaphragm is manifesting a sudden and intense desire to rupture itself). Also my brother informs me that, statistically speaking, what I had was probably swine flu, and as I was only off work for four working days instead of the recommended five, I may now have infected all my family, colleagues and library users with it, so that's quite exciting.
But, the most exciting thing of all is that last night I could breathe through my nose again! It may have had something to do with drowning my pillow in eucalyptus oil. It was great: I got to sleep and everything. (By "everything" I mean "continue breathing".)
I've decided that there's a mistranslation in the Bible. Apart from all the other ones, I mean. What it should say is that "On the seventh day, God created sleep. And first he tested it out on the cats, and they slept, and God died of teh cuteness. But when he resurrected himself he gave sleep to everything, and there was evening, and there was morning, and everything woke up and agreed that it was good but did it really have to be Monday morning now?"
