shut down, reboot

Calling in sick to work today: probably the best thing I've done in weeks. For the record, I AM actually sick. It's just that I usually feel so guilty about letting other people down that even when I am sick (which fortunately isn't very often at all), I still force myself into work. But last night I felt like such crap that I couldn't sleep much, and this morning it was worse, so I bit the bullet and called in sick and then slept all fucking day. Which, productivity!fail, but oh god, I feel so much better now. Also the DayQuil has kicked in.

So basically, I am my laptop. Sometimes I just need to be shut down and allowed to reboot.

I have nothing to say about the delicious situation that hasn't been said better and in more detail elsewhere, but as someone who rarely uses her own delicious account but DOES often rely on other fannish delicious lists for recs/meta/etc, I am PISSED OFF. Bleargh.

I would really like my writer's block to go away now. Need to get started on next chapter of XMFC/Inception sequel and also produce like 5k words of Who fic by Saturday night if I don't want to default on ladiesbigbang. Dammit.

Now off to the shops for more DayQuil and orange juice and chicken soup, because I can't afford to let my body do the reboot thing again this week.
