I slept a lot again, woke up in the afternoon and woke up my mother, then went back to bed. I still feel pretty nonspecifically ill. Feverish and achy with an irritable lower back. Limbs too prone to cracking. No energy.

(Autumn said to me, not too long ago, that if she caves to her ill feelings and spends a day in bed, it usually turns into three days, but if she makes herself go on with the day and do things, she's usually fine. This sounds like reasonable advice to me, except that the way I got this way was through months of not caving or paying much attention to my illness. No, years. So I don't know.)

So I knitted a few rows on that thing for my grandmother, who is ready to change her power of attorney and give it to my mom or one of my uncles, and who will be living in a nursing home for at least a little while doing physical therapy. I read more in TMM, which I will finish tonight... only 20pp or so to go. I ordered my new desk chair so that my mom can have the one I'm sitting in. When it comes I'll probably finally get around to setting up the New Desk I bought a few months ago. Progress!

Cats have taken over my bed, so I'm going to have to shoo them away soon. it's time to rest.

oh my!

Poor wee guys! I am afraid I am not a talented-enough knitter to help out. I wish I were. I'm such a sap when it comes to animals.

I've been up being achy. Got a pic of B-cat and D-cat being yin/yang on my bed earlier (that is, they were curled up together in little curves, and one is dark and the other is light, but their positions were quite off).

I made them move for a while, snuggled in my bed, and fin.a.lly. finished The Magic Mountain. The ending irritated me, primarily because the book just stops. However, I did enjoy the book, all things considered, and much more than I initially expected to; I think I'd been under the impression that it was a much darker tale. Now I need to start posting some things about it, here and in ReadingRoom.

Now to go clean up my soup detritus (that is, wash some dishes and so on), take a nice shower, and lie down with intent to sleep.
