*sigh* As happy as I can get, all things considered

Yeah, I'm quite happy, or as 'quite happy' as I can get with a horrible cold. I was feeling awful, so I decided to have a bath instead of a shower, and I stayed there for an hour and a half, reading my Karen Traviss book, breathing the steam... with a box of tissues handy, of course XD But yeah! Cleared out my nose very nicely. I gotta remember that for next time I get a cold, even though I totally vow never to get another one again.... I mean seriously, want to know how much sleep I've had in the past 36 hours? 2. Yeah. Two hours of sleep total, if even that. I can't lay down 'cause then my nose plugs up and I can't breathe, but I can't sleep sitting up, 'cause... I just can't. Sitting only helps for a little while, then I gotta stand up, and I can breathe for about two minutes, but then I'm stuffed up again. *sigh*

What I wouldn't give for some chicken soup right now...

Except maybe chickenless.... 'cause typing out "Chicken soup" made me think about the actual living chicken.... okay that's odd. *shiver* I blame the monologue. Drama Teacher gave me a monologue to memorize, and it's about dead birds (from the play The Woolgatherer by William something or other... Type it in at Ask.com, it's smart, it knows his name.). So, like, now I'm thinking about these birds all squawking and dying and.... okay, that's not pleasant! Lets think of something happier. Like baths with steam and tissues and a KT book. That's happy.

I still gotta edit that monologue down to a minute, AND memorize it by next Wednesday. Gee! I don't even have the last one memorized!! *sigh* Plus I'm going to have to play an insane candy counter girl that saw a species become extinct when she was young. Huh... so, a little Maddie Fitzpatrick, a little Gollum... but then she's kinda... Southern-ish, so add a touch of Clarice Starling, and there it is!

On another note, I positively ADORE the auto-save function of this blog. I was browsing IMDB (to make sure Clarice's last name really is Starling XD) and Firefox crashed, and my blog was gone.... but when I came back, hit CTRL+D, it opens up my drafts, and there it is!! Right where I left it :D Blogger rules the world. Now, maybe it can come up with a cure for the common cold...
