wiseheartAfter four days, my condition improved so far that the high fever is finally down and I'm no longer feeling dizzy all the time. I'm still barking at the moon like a depressed werwolf and therefore unable to sleep more than two hours in a row, but improvement is improvement nonetheless.
In the meantime Mum managed to get her own cold by way of nancing around in the flat in just a nightgown after taking a shower. She never feels cold and is incredibly angry with me whenever I tell you that wearing such light clothing is not good for her - well, I hate to be right in this, but she's been coughing for two days already, and it doesn't seem to go away any time soon. Old people can be frustratingly stubborn.
I had to bake some buns today because we ran out of bread and neither of us is up to do any shopping. Milk promises to last for another two days perhaps; then we'll switch to instant cappuccino, most likely. But when we run out of potatoes, too, I'll have to go down anyway.
I was in a really bad shape in the recent days. The only thing I managed to do was dozing in front of the telly - well, at least I managed to re-watch the complete first season of Sanctuary, which I've been planning to do for quite some time. It is one of the better shows, but what I like most is the fact that so many Stargate actors have leading, recurring or guest roles in it: Amanda Tapping and Christopher Heyerdahl, of course, then Paul McGillion, Ryan Robbins, Jonathon Young, Peter Wingfield, Kavan Smith, Chuck Campbell and so on. I particularly like Jonathon Young as Nikola Tesla; he had such a tiny guest role in SGA, but in this he's fantastically creepy. Although, I must ruefully admit that I didn't recognize David Nykl in his one short appearance. *g*
In any case, I'm seriously considering to try and order Seasons 3 and 4, just to have the whole thing. I don't like doing things by halves.
The one good thing that happened to me in these four days is that - after a very long time - I finally managed to write something new. It is for my Primeval/Torchwood/Sherlock BBC crossover; at first I thought the idea fairly insignificant, just interesting, but as I started to write it down, I realized it might give the entire story a really hard twist - I hope I'll be able to pull it off.
