First of all, ugh.

1. I'm sick - with either an allergy attack or a cold. I have a sore throat and just feel weird, my energy is way lower and I have a low-key headache.

2. I have a tedious project for work, due Thursday, and I am hitting roadblocks on it.

3. Fortunately I was warned that this was coming, but with my current obsession - The 100 - I saw the episode where a favorite character dies, and it was hard to take. Even though I knew it was coming. That's why I refer to this stuff as 'obsessions' as often as I say 'fandom'. I just get wound up in it.

Well, okay, here's some of the good stuff to counter it.

1. Let's be grateful again for having a job that provides paid time off

2. I think I need to table this for today and hit it again when I have more energy and no headache...I have tomorrow, Wednesday, and maybe I can even ask for 1 more day to work on it. I feel guilty at the thought of putting something off, but maybe that really is best now. I might do a lot better on this when I'm not sick, might be able to figure out how to get around the roadblocks.

3. As bad as that was with The 100, I am still loving the new OTP I'm shipping. The episode I just saw had some brief but awesome moments between them

So sorry you're not feeling well! I'm feeling kinda blah myself the last few days. I don't know if it's allergies or the weather or hormones or what.

Can you ask your boss or someone else for some help clearing the roadblocks on your project? Maybe it would help to bring someone else in if that would be feasible. I do think you're right that sometimes you just need to table something and come back to it later.

Sorry about the 100, do you think being warned about what would happen helped?

I'm sad that you're sick too! I wish I knew what it was. Doris reminded me that colds can strike any time, though I guess I always feel that if it's during summer, it's allergies. (But then again, does it matter? I mean we can't do much but take meds for the symptoms and hope it goes away fast). What do you think?

I did ask my boss a question and she provided something that'll help a bit. I am cautiously optimistic that if I feel better tomorrow, I can make a lot of headway. And if not, then it might be Plan B like asking for another day.

Yes, definitely - having been spoiled helped so much. Long story short, the character died by suicide. Last season, it'd seemed he was getting better and that he might get a redemption arc. He didn't. So I'm actually really glad that I knew that I had to 'abandon hope'.

But having a new OTP - and one that my friend tells me is STILL together 2 seasons later - is helping me a lot.
