Ugh

Woke up with a sore throat, slight fever, etc. I've been downing chicken broth with cayenne, which is helping my throat and giving my tummy something to hang onto because my appetite is shitty, of course. I fucking hate summer colds.

I'm working on putting together a timeline for my C/Z fics. There aren't many of them, but I realized the other day that they're scattered around in both posts and comments, so I think I'll pull them together in a list, so anyone interested can follow the (somewhat) story. I'll also be posting them over at jacked_up.

Anybody interested in that? I think I may even have another one cooking on the back burner, as the last fic I did is begging for a partner. With luck...

I remember a commercial for Contact Cold Capsules from the 70s that said, "A summer cold is an ugly animal." So true! I hope it eases very soon.

I never thought about soup with cayenne. I'll keep that in mind.

Cayenne is fantastic for this sort of thing. I love the stuff and use it in cooking all the time, but it also has medicinal properties. It's great as an immune booster, which is why I sprinkle it on a lot of my foods. Emeril's Essence, a creole spice blend, is the best for that, as it tastes so good you can get your daily cayenne dose without even feeling it. :)

Gosh, I hope you get over your cold soon. It's miserable to be sick anytime, but it seems worse in the summer.

I'd be interested in your stories. I haven't written much for a long time, but I still like to read.

I'm putting the post together now, and I'm going to put the ones I did in comments into their own posts, so it should be up by this afternoon.

Moving around and having soup has made me feel better. I'm just glad it's not worse than this, one of those lay-you-out-flat colds. This is turning out to be just a nasty annoyance, thank the Goddess. :)

Hope the cold feels better hun.

The answer is, a thousand times YES. I'll take all the C/Z you can dream of, forever, thanks very much. You and Gabi are kick-starting my own stuttering musings back into life. Slow, but I'm getting back on the bike, please god.

It's actually gotten worse. I now have a hacking cough, concrete sinuses which are giving me a massive headache, and of course, I'm having real trouble sleeping because of all this. It's times like this I'm thankful I don't have a job to have to force myself to go to, as I can try to take care of my body and sleep whenever I have to crash.

I'm happy to hear my stuff is kick-starting you. This is all an enormous surprise to me, let me tell you. I am in utter shock. I wrote Josh off years ago, after that horrible Wicker Park thing. (I don't know if you ever read my post about seeing it in the theater. I titled it "Josh Hartnett owes me $14", so you can imagine how it reads.) (And yes, I went back and watched it again, and it's still awful, for the same reasons.) It was a idle decision to re-watch The Faculty a couple of weeks ago that did it - Zeke just leaped out of the screen at me and took me by the throat. That led to me poking around on Josh's imdb page. I saw the entry for Penny Dreadful, thought hmm, that sounds interesting, went and downloaded the series and that was all she wrote. DAMN. It's my fucking Muse, you know. He loves to show up dressed in a new form to drive me crazy, the bastard.
