A bit of pain for some gain

I know I know, look at me...several months of not writing anything at all then bam, several all at the same time. Hey ho.

And excuse the random title...I've just blown my nose which means I've made both my ears block up completely which means I can't think straight.
Marvellous

Firstly, the cold which I've been battling since the end of time, refusing it entry to my nasal passages has finally rugby tackled me and tripped me up in the most unceremonious manner, landing me neatly in my dressing gown (whilst fully clothed), sitting/lying on the sofa, dousing my throat in hot ribena and cold pills. Yesterday and the day before I felt so down I found myself feeling irrationally sad at the most random things and yesterday when in bed, reading, I was feeling so forlorn, I ended up crying because I couldn't open a bottle of water, and couldn't stop myself from saying the most abstract things. I wasn't feverish...I just felt extremely down and my head and sinuses felt three times the size.
The cold really hit yesterday when I entered comatose bunny state at bed time and Tom had to carry me to bed, fireman style.

However, by some wondrous miracle, I now feel like I've been resurrected from the dead. I woke up today and leapt out of bed to continue with the daily routine before going to the dentist (to have a print of my teeth taken and a mouth guard made...apparently I've modified my canines and molars ever so slightly through grinding my teeth so my dentist jumped into action to save them) and I actually feel human again. I nearly made the mistake of taking a shower and washing my hair before leaving the house today, which would have been a baaaad move as it's a very chilly morning, my hair never dries all the way and I'm only just recovering this damned cold. I can't stand up for too long as I'm still a little weak, but I can think as clearly as a blue day sky.

Which is terrific as that now gives me a week to recover fully for the interview I have on Thursday next week.
Ooooh yes, I have an interview with a publishing company next week. I can't remember all the details, but if it's the one I think it is, it's very good.
However, I'm still going to keep job hunting in case this one turns out to be a dud...but fingers crossed.
I aimed to have a job before the year was out and looks like I'm a tiny step closer to that!
