Still coughing and wheezing, but the sinus congestion has gone down and I feel a lot more with it today. Did some more tweaking on the solar eclipse essay this morning, adding another 200 words to take it to 2000 total, and left it to sit for a few hours. I've just gone through it again to check for stupidities, and emailed it to Storyhouse. So that's one thing crossed off the list of "submissions to deal with when I get home". My brain seems to be functioning well enough to deal with fiction revision now, so I'd better do the promised revision/submission of something for sacchig next, as that's one with a deadline.

Other stuff from yesterday: Received my royalty cheque from Torquere Press for Myths (or possibly Monsters, I now can't remember which one my story ended up in when the anthology was split in two). It will buy a whole burger at the pub tonight, though it won't buy the Coke to go with it... Went out intending to buy the Samsung LCD monitor which was on special offer at Fry's, and ended up deciding that I liked another model better, so took notes of a couple of model numbers to research before going back to get one at the weekend. So I'm still staring at horrible fuzzy screen that came with the machine. I need to get a new one quickly, before I forget exactly why I sat in front of my computer the day I got back from several weeks of using Real Monitors, and said, "Argh, my eyes!"
