I think I'm marginally ill again. Cannot run process "pregnancy" and process "immune system" to maximum efficiency without RAM upgrade.

Primary effect of the moment is that I need to de-Poe my right ear, for it is so congested that I cannot escape the sound of heartbeat.

(Also, y'know, fatigue, blood clots from sinuses, sore throat, and goo. But it's the Poeing that's really bugging me.)

My MW says that our immune systems lower during pregnancy so as not to reject the fetus. I know that getting over colds and the like during this has taken me FOREVER. It's really annoying, but I guess if I want le Babe I'm going to just have to suck it up :/

My immune system takes a while to shake things even under normal circumsstances -- I tend not to get very sick, but it takes me a long time to clear things. So this is just ... infinite vague illness. Bah.

Baby's kicking me solidly, though. So I know why I'm doing it all.

OK, this is totally useless but I just had to say that I love the concept of "Poe-ing". I'd never thought to coin a term for it before.

I have, at this point, remarkable sympathy for why so many of Poe's characters are batshit insane.

Roderick Usher might be another one. That whole hypseresthesia thing.

I'm not really helping, am I?

I'm hoping you get better. Sick and Pregnant is not a fun state.
