The Evil Sinus Infection thingy has taken on a new twist, namely a roaring temperature with a truly crippling headache - this latest one woke me up at 4am on Monday morning and caused me to take Advil on an empty stomach in sheer desperation, thus adding nausea to the list of symptoms. I dozed off from 6am until about until 8.30, staggered to the phone to tell work I wouldn't be in, fell back into bed and slept until half past two. This is weird, I never sleep in the day. And the wretched headache is only marginally dulled by painkillers, too - when not actually passed out I had it full force until yesterday evening, upon which it started tapering off, possibly because of the soothing application of hot rum toddies.

Still very shaky today and with a sort of a vague headache in the middle distance, ambled around the house doing nothing much apart from, yet again, dismally failing to sort out the bloody Windows install on my Dad's computer. (Got further this time. Now the screen blues out instead of blacking out while it's refusing to log me into Windows until I'm activated. Also, have conceived passionate loathing for the very Zen process of flashing through five different shades of black while it's rebooting. It's been rebooting a lot, entirely futilely).

And, speaking of shades of black, my copy of the new Torchwood series, Children of Earth, arrived, and I watched it over the last two evenings. It was mostly very good, intense and chilling in parts, but I'm incubating a fresh new Russell Davies rant. Watch this space.

There are stronger things than over-the-counter painkillers; it sounds like you need to get a doctor to prescribe some of those, otherwise the pain gets loose. Breakthrough pain happens with sinusitis too I have found. Holding thumbs for you.

thank you! shall probably chat to doc about it as you suggest, it's now the second time in a row the headache has shrugged off the painkillers and This Cannot Continue. I'm used to being functional with a sinus headache, dammit!

Do you want Children of Earth now that I've finished it? :> Can also return your super-ex-girlfriend, watched it last night as a sort of fluffy antidote to the Torchwood dramas. Was it just me, or was it particularly rampantly sexist?

I would love Children of Earth, thanks. Super-Ex Girlfriend is sexist and silly, but I had to have it because of the shark.
