Sorry about the lack of blogging here, peeps. I went to Pittsburgh, I had a great time, I came home and caught a cold that made my brain feel like it was swimming in lime Jello. And then, when I thought that was gone for like a week, it was time to go to Rhinebeck (and ohmygod, the amount of last-minute changes my plans for that went through is unbelievable), and I came back from Rhinebeck and started sneezing again. I have yet to decide if this is the same cold or a new and improved cold, Cold 2.0, but it’s really pissing me off. This morning, as I blew my nose for the forty-eleventh time, I was reminded that my granddad used to call the nose the “snot locker.” Totally apropos in my case. Also, Martyr seems to be coming down with Cold 2.0 as well, since she was freezing today and generally that woman is Hot Flash Central. If Martyr’s getting it, I’m getting it. I’m resigned.

Colds 1.0 and 2.0 have really diminished my multi-tasking abilities, which irritates the hell out of me. I used to be able to come to work, look productive, blog, play on Ravelry, and actually get shit done all at the same time. Perhaps that was like my superpower, pathetic as that may be. Wicked multitasking skills and the ability to goof off at work! But Colds 1.0 and 2.0 are like multitasking Kryptonite. I can no longer keep my mind on several different and totally unrelated tasks at once. I can barely keep my mind on one task. And it sucks, people. I don’t think the comic books accurately portrayed how pissed Superman probably was when he lost his powers. My superpower is lame compared to his, and I’m bitching like a fiend. He lost the ability to *fly*, and in the comics, he was not bitching.

On second thought, I think that’s because Superman was lacking my other superpower: Raging PMS. I could stop a Mac truck with these snarky hormones, baby! Wait, is rambling incoherently also a superpower? Because I seem to have tremendous aptitude for it today.

A story about how my cell phone was lost and found at the Ravelry party and details about the spinning class I took at Rhinebeck will come when my latent superpowers go away with Aunt Flo. Couldn’t get them out today to save my life. Sorry.
