I'm rather proud of this post this morning.

The chest cold has come back with a vengeance, and I fear that I am going to have to concede defeat and go see a doctor. Water, vitamin C, rest, and Robitussin kept it at bay yesterday, but I spent the night trying to sleep despite feeling fluid moving in my lungs with every breath. My ears are filling with fluid, too.

I must have had a fever for part of the night, too, as my dreams had that vivid/zany quality that fever dreams often have. They were populated with some of the stranger beasties from David Brin's "Uplift" novels, which I have been reading lately. (For those who are not familiar with this series, Brin's universe is populated with aliens that are very alien, biologically and conceptually remote from life as we know it.)

Anyone who's a fan of Sid Meier's Civilization games might find this amusing:

Ah! I read Teranesia a while back. I liked the reality he was playing with, but not the gloom-&-doom aspect of his fiction. I, for one, am trying to figure out how to activate the pre-cog mutation effect within myself.

I know cash is tight. If you have an nterest, I can loan you the Othaland books. One warning -- in one of the books I have there is chapter missing due to the book being mis-bound.
