Yesterday had a mildly stuffy nose and just starting to be sore throat. Woke up today feeling awful, with everything between my neck to scalp hurting. Drank coffee on the off chance that would help and certainty that if the headache wasn't from caffeine withdrawal now, the one I'd get in an hour would be.
Headache receded, the rest did not. Wandered about on the internet sipping tea and waiting for the caffeine to wear off a bit. Investigated the active ingredients in cough syrup on Wikipedia and made a mental note to see if we had any of the fun dextromethorphan kind. Actual investigation of real-world labels would have to wait until I felt better.
Came across Alpha Dog: Slow Motion Apocalypse and started reading from the beginning because I am an idiot and did not see the logical flaws in my plan. The caffeine wore off, I finished reading, and then spent a miserable few hours of fitful half-dozing. My most coherent thought involved using zombies a bit like pelicans. It was not a pleasant concept.
Finally woke up completely after managing to strain every muscle in my body. My head is now comparatively unpainful. Also, I hate the world.
Currently, trying to eat and pondering going to sleep again.
