afunaI appear to have caught a bit of a cold, and have spent today slightly out of it (in the best way possible: relaxed and not feeling too horrible, but am feeling drifty and detached from myself)
I have discovered via Google that coughs can be worse when lying down; I thought I was just imagining it, but no :D Couldn't sleep last night because every time I tried to go to bed, I'd be jolted up awake again by coughing, so I spent it playing with the code for my Chrome extension to copy link text: have added JS tests (qunit is awesome!) and also added options for formatting. Basically, worked myself until I was so worn out, no amount of coughing could jolt me awake again, and fell asleep as the sky was lightening.
I am not sure whether my detachment today is caused by my cold, or whether it's caused by my lack of sleep. Either way, it's a good enough way to spend a Saturday while ill (better than feeling every moment of being ill while ill).
Other things I should remember to search on Google: what it's called when you have a low fever or just about to start a fever, and you can tell because your skin is super sensitive and the hair on your head hurts. I mean if I can find out about information about how lying down can aggravate coughing, maybe I can find out information about this, too?
I will probably miss the weekly family get-together this Sunday :( Don't want to get worse (honestly I'm okay; just taking advantage of the weekend to sleep in), and also don't want to spread my cold to my grandpa. I shall send over the brownies I baked though :D Maybe they'll enjoy it still.
I owe people comments! I will respond, but maybe not today, maybe tomorrow. Going to turn the lights down low so I'm not squinting against the glare of the monitor <3

Hope you feel better soon!
