It's been a weird six weeks.

hawkwing_lbFirst I get the evil 'flu. It combines itself with a probable kidney infection. I recover, sort of, after three weeks. Then I go to Octocon, and on the Monday following have everything that is discomfort-like-unto-itch and fatigue and dull ache around the kidney region.
The doctor hears like an itch and decides it must be thrush, I need anti-fungals, not an antibiotic. But let's have a lab test, anyway.
It's a good thing I'm not dying, because it's taken a full week for the test results to come back and they have at last revealed the actual presence of bacteria. I am vindicated in my conviction that this was more than thrush, and greatly relieved to have an explicable reason for my unpleasant-but-consistent kidney-area discomfort and continuing fucking fatigue. Cause! Cause with foreseeable cure: this does not have to represent a new normal, thank god, because I don't think I can stand it for very much longer.
On the other hand, I got paid this weekend. And since I had to go into town anyway to return some library books before university librarians came hunting my liver, I went and bought myself a nice violent-green Polartec microfleece, some socks, a copy of An Litir, and a copy of Josephine Tey's The Man In The Queue.
I may have overspent. Still, that's a problem for later in the month. (I am still waiting on a cheque from Tor.com.)
