I decided not to go to a meetup today, as I was still feeling a little bit under the weather. The soreness at the back of my throat has eased off, and I don't ache as much as I did yesterday. Part of me wants to break open a bottle of Amaretto, mix it in some Hot Chocolate and relax. Yet, this is not the time to have a drink, unless it's hot tea.

When I got up this morning, I saw a dusting of snow on the ground. Given that places further South of me would likely have more snow on the ground, I decided NOT to go to Ikea today for the nightstand I wanted to put together. Instead, I stayed in bed, in my jammies, covered by a warm blanket, trying to stay comfortable. And for the most part, I was successful.
Occasionally, I would check my email to see what was going on, and noticed that I had a delivery both from my online pharmacy and from Woot.com. So I went downstairs to pick up my packages, and found what could be the precursor of a big bill in my mailbox. AARGH!
Coming back upstairs, I opened the box from Amazon and found the dish drying rack I had ordered. Hopefully, this rack will prove more convenient to use than the old rack. After putting the new rack in place, I made some pasta for dinner, and then got back in my jammies to rest as comfortably as possible.
What I didn't mention is that I received a call from an acquaintance - which I didn't pick up. I was not in the mood to talk with anyone today, as I would be focusing more on my aches and pains than the conversation at hand. Hopefully, I'll be in the mood to call her later on in the week.
