This, That AND Most Particularly The Other Thing

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

So, weirdly I managed not to get sick — or not for more than about one night of weird fever-like dreams.  Why is this weird, Sarah?  Well because my entire family has spent the week being several shades of sick.  I never quite got sick, but the week might as well have been flushed anyway.

To make things better Havey-cat has got into something that gave him diarrhea, so the evening was spent trimming er… pasted cat tail.  He’s hiding from me now of course.

I sat here and thought “I can write the next chapter.  It’s Jonathan’s perspective, anyway and he’s always drunk.”  But I can’t, so I’ll have to write it tomorrow morning… So, check back in three  hours or so.

  2. We have plague in our house, too. Teenage girl apologized for bringing it home (what she ought to apologize for is not actually getting very sick of it :) ), and most of the rest of us are just sitting/lying around in various stages of fever, coughing, and what-all.

    So, I sympathize, and I hope you all feel much better soon.

  4. I came down with two colds in January. The worst of it is that one or the other seems to have left me with a cough that will not die.

  5. Is it con crud? I’m here at LTUE symposium and Dave Farland couldn’t make it because he picked up con crud at the superstars seminar–that’s the one you went to, right?

    Maybe you should go to these things in a Darth Vader respirator …

      1. I’m really enjoying it–the panels have been great with a lot of focus on craft, and there’s a pie bar within a block of the hotel :)

        And it’s warmer than back home.

        2. It’s a great symposium, with impressive attendance for such a small gathering. Larry Correia and Brad Torgerson were there last year (Larry’s running around somewhere there, this year, as well). Tracy Hickman was there, as were Howard and Sandra Tayler (hi, guys!) and the Evanses. Steve Diamond was there. And it’s a symposium for writers and artists of all stripes, and I highly recommend it to everybody.

          2. I’m sitting in the hotel lobby, eavesdropping on a very entertaining rant by Larry Correia rather than finishing the last, very last scenes of the WIP.

              2. Not catching everything–but definitely he’s talking about SF writers, blogs, not understanding new publishing, comment-banning.

                And now he’s off to a panel.

                2. While i generally oppose comment-banning* there are some principles along that line i can endorse. Oddly, in considering what those principles might properly be and potential examples, what comes to mind are egregiously stupid and/or insane arguments “supporting” my side in an argument. Perhaps an application of “I can handle my enemies but Lord save me from my friends” or simply distrust of false flag supporters.

                  *It is acceptable for elimination of trollish commenters who have only one (invalid) argument which they repeat ad infinitum.

                    2. Your ban of s/hi/t is one of the reasons why I stopped lurking and decided to start participating.

                      It’s a nice place to read and discuss, with lots of the delightfully ‘bad’ (non-PC) and yet wonderful people I’d despaired of finding. Thank you for allowing me to visit.

                      Thanks to Foxfier and MaryCatelli for pointing me here too ^o^

  7. Urgh. I had it two weeks ago. Got it from a middle schooler (as did 2/3 of the faculty, or so I learned in the teachers’ lounge.)
