* I had hoped to set up auctions tonight as it really oughtn't wait any longer, but just changing the sheets not only wore me out, but I spent an hour coughing and trying not to throw up and/or pass out as a result and I couldn't manage it. I feel like such a scrotum. I did manage most of it without Tavy managing to maul me though he tried, oh how he tried. Squirrel turned up in time to help finish it, which was a massive help, but I had already mostly done it. Unfortunately, I forgot to put the padding on until it was nearly done and no way was I going to start over at that point. My tooth is scary enough, I think I shouldn't wait, which means staying up and camping all day at emergency dentist in hopes. I am going to be exhausted and there is o guarantee of me succeeding, so if I am uncharacteristically silent Monday, that is why.
