My sleep was somewhat restless last night. I thought I was getting over<\/i> a cold, not catching<\/i> a cold. Today I feel worse than I did yesterday. The nasal passages feel phlegmy, the head swims. Cold medicine I won’t touch–it makes me wired, jittery, and vaguely loopy. Fortunately, I scheduled myself for a late shift today–I slept until ten, and it was nice<\/i>. A steady diet of orange juice may do the trick. And aspirin.<\/p>\n
I remember my dreams from last night. That’s uncommon–I usually don’t<\/i> remember my dreams. I blame my general feeling of illness and malaise. I’m reminded of Prince George in Blackadder III<\/i>‘s “Duel and Duality”–“My dreams were filled with strange omens and ill portents” or some variation thereof. Issues in the subconscious I would rather neither confront nor acknowledge coming to the fore, I think.<\/p>\n
Plans for tomorrow–sleep, the laundromat, and lunch with a colleague. He called me yesterday, said he needed a sympathetic ear, so I offered to meet with him tomorrow.<\/p>\n
