Monday meanderings

Morning is supposed to be my clear-headed, active time, dammit.

But I have a cold and so I'm feeling slow, muddled, uninspired. It came on last night, and emmett_the_sane realized that I had it before I did. I'd been sniffling all day, but feeling fine otherwise, and I didn't really think much of it. My colds usually announce themselves with a sore throat, not a sniffle. But after I sneezed a bunch of times, Emmett pointed it out, and an hour later I was definitely feeling it. I woke up this morning feeling distinctly bleah.

I hope I don't give him my cold. He picks up colds so easily. And he just began this new job, which he is liking pretty well, and he can't really afford any sick time right now.

Am contemplating whether to keep my noon dentist appointment. In fairness to the dentist, who is a nice man, I shouldn't... the last thing he needs is sniffly me breathing in his face for half an hour. But if I cancel, it'll be a month before there is another opening, and I'm concerned about some ongoing gum tenderness beneath this one tooth.

Played some online Settlers of Catan with my friend Riley last night. He asked me how I was doing around the Columbia loss, and I spoke of regretting in retrospect that I didn't get up at 6am to see it pass over California (Emmett and I had talked about doing so but decided that we needed the sleep). Riley said that he did get up, and watched it from his rooftop... and he wished them safe landing as they flew overhead. Sigh...
