In Jeannine news, still sad about not getting to AWP, but I’m getting ready to send out some submissions. My MSN horoscope today said if I was a writer, getting published was right around the corner. Got to take the good omens in whatever form they come in, right?
Only one of my two tonsils is swollen up like a grape now, which I take to mean I am getting better, though I woke up coughing and coughing like nobody’s business and I’m still fevery. Whatever this crap is, taking a lot of zinc and C and strong antibiotics and soup and a boatload of random holistic cures has barely been able to contain it. Demons out!
Oh, and Lost was good last night. I heart Hurley!
