Another ride on the bedroom-go-round

Bear with me here. The respiratory blarghh that's making the rounds landed somewhere behind my sternum last week, and the cold medicine isn't helping with the putting of words together. (You would not believe how much editing I'm doing on this post right now.) I really wish I knew why my equilibrium gets so easily banjaxed by medication. For drugs with predictable drowsiness/head-loopiness reactions (Benadryl, NyQuil), I can only partake if I'm prepared to be completely useless for the entire next day. That doesn't much surprise me, but the only thing I took was a hit of Mucinex when the fire alarms randomly went off at 4 a.m. last night. Mucinex does list dizziness as a fine-print side effect, but it's wayyyy down in the "uncommon-to-rare" range, and here I am unable to comfortably stand up all day without bumping into door frame. Fun, except when it's not.
rain_herself is off visiting her sister in Portland while I'm trying to maintain oxygen intake (although she's dealing with her own illness out there, poor girl), and since I'm at leisure and wanting to connect with people I thought I'd do one of the LJ posts I keep insisting I'm going to do eventually—the adventures of Murder Ballads, events over the holidays, future plans, Arisia, the flaming nightmare my job has recently turned into, a few random exciting bits, and so on. But focus is at a premium, and these are longer-form items, i.e. longer than my attention span. So I'll just say that I finally have a fully-functional computer at long last and I really want some Chipotle right now but have NO desire to force my flesh into pants and down the elevator to fetch it, and we'll get to the bigger stuff later and call it a night. Deal?
