Stuff What I Am Doing Currently:

1. Coughing coughing coughing. SCREW YOU, BRONCHITIS. Really and truly not what is needed at the moment.

2. Stressing just a wee bit. Movers come on Sunday. Nothing has been packed. It's a damn good thing I got rid of most of my stuff when I moved out to WA.

3. Dreaming, wildly. Probably due in part to cough medicine (bless ya, Nyquil). Last night I had, of all things, a very hot, very vivid, Mulder/Krycek dream, which -- golly. I haven't even read any M/K in aeons. But it was most pleasant.

4. Painting painting painting. Choosing a paint for the kitchen cabinets came down to a tie between a) a product called Cabinet Coat, highly recommended by a contractor friend, and b) a product from Benjamin Moore, also highly recommended, but which drew me because of its name, which is --

[wait for it . . . . ]

. . . . Impervo.

OH yeah.

You have to say it in a sort of low, throaty growl: Im - PERRRRRRRRRRVVV - o.

See, I'm convinced this is actually one of the leads in DC comics/Adult Version -- IMPERVO! His costume is a pair of assless leather chaps that are actually bulletproof steel! His superpowers are invulnerability to harm, and hot hot kinky sexin'! He is -- Im-PERRRRRVV-o!

(Oh, hell, I ended up going with Cabinet Coat, because it had a higher luster and cost less, and it's worked beautifully and I'm very happy with it. But still, from time to time, as I race through my days, coughing and painting, I pause and murmur softly to myself -- Imperrrrrrrrvo. And it makes everything better.)

I hope you feel much better, very soon!

I feel compelled to tell you that if you really have bronchitis, Nyquil is about the worst thing you can do for it. I was lectured by an ER intern, years ago, about the evils of cough suppressants when you have a chest cold. You need to *expel* the phlegm, not suppress. However, if you have seen your doctor and they are cool with you taking the Nyquil, completely ignore this. :)

You realize that now I'm going to be saying, "Imperrrrrrrrrrvo" on and off all day long?

::Zen cracks up::

Tons of luck with the move! I hope it's smooth sailing all the way.

Huh, how wrong is it that I don't have a Krycek icon? SO WRONG!
