So. I didn't.

I ended up not staying up working all last night. Instead I sent my editor an email explaining that I simply couldn't hit the deadline and went to bed. This morning I received an email from him saying that they were planning to work through the weekend on the book anyway and not to worry about it. I am SO lucky to have such an understanding person supervising one of my projects.

The injection site of my flu shot is a little red and swollen and aches something fierce. I also woke up with a touch of a sore throat this morning. Bleah. Other than that, not much to report -- except that I desperately need at least another two cups of coffee.

*groan* (and, "All I want for Christmas is...")

Headache. Body aches. Soreness and swelling at the injection site. Yep, my flu shot reaction is proceeding nicely. >.< The good news is that it will probably be over by tomorrow afternoon.

I had to crawl back into bed around mid-afternoon and catch a few more hours of sleep; hopefully this will improve my productivity today overall, even with those few hours knocked out of the schedule.

Oh, and if anyone is wondering what I'd really like for Christmas, a renewal of my paid LiveJournal account would make me a very happy person. (I still have to get an illustration to nightdog_barks in exchange for last year's renewal. Bad artist...)

Time to make a fresh pot of coffee and get down to work.
