"What? Still alive?!"

Just a quick update on the state of my universe. In spite of my much improved mood of late, I have been totally lacking in energy or ambition thanks to a very nasty cold. This thing has been hanging on for about a week now, and just won't ease up. A couple of days ago I purchased a store brand version of Nyquil with the hope that it would help me sleep through the hacking cough and plegm-flood. The usual cherry flavoured goop usually makes me gag, so I picked up the green stuff instead, figuring it to have a mint taste. Wrong. It turns out that this vile concoction has a strong flavour of anise/black licorice. Goddam but I HATE that flavour! So every night I toss down a shot of this hell-brew and spend the next half hour trying to get the taste out of my mouth. Problem is, every tiny puff of air that manages to crawl up my esophagus carries with it the hideous taint of that foul ichor! It's worse than the illness! However it did seem to be at least a little effective.

I had an interview last Thursday for a job at the ol' atom mill. I thought it went pretty well, but we shall see. I won't hold my breath, as they don't seem to move too fast. I have another interview for a different position there tomorrow.

Spousal unit made up a batch of chocolate cupcake for a thing she went to yesterday, and there were quite a few left over. Unfortunately they are absolutely amazing, and I've been inhaling them a little faster than is good for me.

All for now.
