naps are good, but also exhausting
It's just after 3pm, and it's getting dark outside. Mostly because it's getting cloudy (quelle surprise), but still, it's gone from bright and sunshiny to dank and depressing within the space of an hour. BUT. WE HAVE HEAT AGAIN. The heating dudes put in new copper pipes and a new boiler over on the landlord's side of the house, and now we all have proper heat controls in our rooms, so we can regulate how warm things are. YAY. We were without heat yesterday and last night, which I'm thinking did not do my cold/flu/plague any favors, because I'm still feeling like crap. I though the exhaustion that made me go to sleep at like 8pm last Saturday was stress, but it must have been an early sign of the oncoming plague, because I've been sick pretty much since Sunday. I haven't been to the doctor, because I don't have a fever and it's been mostly coughing and a runny nose, and I don't want to get put on antibiotics again. So I've been trying to kill this with LemSip and Sudafed and painkillers. Granted, that course of treatment hasn't been entirely effective, but enh.
I'm supposed to go to London on Saturday for an ash-scattering ceremony for a friend of my mom's, but if I'm still feeling this crappy tomorrow afternoon/evening, I might just not go. Sightseeing when one is sick is no fun, and a trip like that probably wouldn't do my system any favors.
Today, Marta and I went to an Evidence of Identity interview to get our national insurance numbers, in case we want to try and find part-time jobs to pick up some extra cash. The interview went smoothly, we should hear about the decision in about 10 days. The landscapes - gently rolling grass-covered hills, sheep grazing here and there, and tiny adorable towns along the route - as seen from the train did nothing to change our impression that we live in Middle Earth. One of these days I'll actually get around to doing that picspam I've been planning for the last month, and then you'll all see. IT'S SO PRETTY EVEN WHEN IT RAINS (which is pretty much ALL THE TIME).
No doubt you've heard about the latest round of LJ fuckwittery, what with implementing one style of Tumblr/Facebook-like friends feed for everyone (it's in beta right now, but it's going to apply to everyone eventually), and the plans of doing away with paid accounts (features will be available in packages, paid and permanent accounts will remain and be considered "premium" with extra features available - at least that's what I got out of the information posted). More and more people are switching to DW - or at least crossposting from DW, which is what I've been doing. If you have a DW account or are considering switching, come and see me! I'mastro_noms over there. Also ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)

Also, if anyone needs an AO3 invite, I have a few spare ones, so drop me a line and I'll hook you up.
