Ugh, being sick sucks. The sneezing fits I can handle, but I could seriously live without the excessive light-headedness and the tendency to walk into things (more so than usual).
On the other hand, as times to get sick go, this is about the least incovenient of the next few weeks, so I suppose there's that.
Sadly, it's done nothing for my ability to concentrate for more than five minutes, so 14 valentines are going... slowly. Current tally is:
1. Jennifer Keller back-story (surprisingly not needing much revision in light of last week's episode, and no, that's not a spoiler)
2. Teyla/Sora Sora's point of view from Noble Form
3. Rodney on Earth telling Cameron what will happen if he does anything to hurt John
4. John/Cameron/Lorne during The Return
5. More of the John in SG1 without the gene au.
Plus...
1. About two thirds of a future Atlantis story in which the Wraith have just been defeated
2. A few lines of Laura Cadman backstory with Major Lorne.
But here's my question: when did I lose my ability to write happy cheerful stuff? I mean, okay, I've never written much of the skipping through a field of daisies and singing style things, but everything I'm writing for this is angsty and moderately unhappy. And the worst thing is, I'm not sure it's going to get any better, since the list of stuff still to be written includes Ronon/Lorne during Doppelganger (in which episode, Lorne nearly shoots his CO and then Ronon zaps him unconscious) and something about Heightmeyer and her fear of heights which I strongly suspect is going to involve someone (not her) falling from a great height.
That said, maybe Laura and Lorne can be cheerful and happy and chaos causing. To make up for the fact that the future Atlantis story involves the death of a large number of people. :(
