*cough cough cough*
Jul. 16th, 2003 07:31 pmIf there was one word to describe me at work this afternoon it would be useless. I accomplished nothing.
I can't stop coughing. Just this dry, annoying cough that hurts my throat and makes me wish I didn't need to constantly breathe. I'm tired/sleepy, and I think I'm generally run down. I hate that part of being sick, the being so tired that you just need to sleep.
I'm supposed to do study tonight, but my bedroom light bulb's blown, so... *looks up at light fitting* So, I need to work out how to swap it with another one in the house because really, this amount of procrastination is ridiculous. I'll do it after 8.30pm. Until then, I'm on strike, and only doing fannish/wasting time things.
Ooh, there's a Buffy Ball next week. Just found out about it today. It's either cocktail or fancy/character dress. Think I'll go as a young Watcher. I could wear my lowish, sensible navy heels (that always make me think of Hornblower's shoes. They don't have buckles, or really look like them, they just make me think of them), my tan suit with a plain white shirt and my glasses. I'll tie my hair back in a bun, and wear demure makeup, and possibly have a look around op shops for a set of fake pearls or something like that (maybe a brooch).

Yeah, I've read WW fic and I've listened to Something for Kate (you know, so much of their stuff is good for a slowly falling apart breakup, but I love some of the lyrics, especially You only hide because you know I'll find you and You're not the first to think that everything has been thought before). Now, I'm watching Striptease and trying to build up the enthusiasm to get out of bed, face the cold, and change the lightbulb.
I suck.
I suck.
