eighthphaseYesterday surprised me on two counts: firstly, that I was actually able to stay up all night to watch the eclipse, and secondly, that I was actually able to sleep soundly. (Although the Benadryl I took around midnight probably had a lot to do with the second one.)
Today I am still sick! I don't feel particularly achy or feverish, though; just congested and sleepy with a sore throat. I've been offered both Nyquil and Dayquil, but I turned them both down, because I'd rather be awake right now and both medicines will knock me out. I can breathe fine, so I'll just take tea with entirely more honey than is proper.
To keep myself awake, I'm playing more Star Ocean! I'm trying to get Nel to level 75 (which will put Fayt around 77 and Maria around 76), at which point I'll go do more IC and then go through the Ruins of Mosel. It's kind of annoying, actually, because I can't seem to keep a bonus battle going; I had a 32 chain but it broke, and I haven't been able to keep one up past five. My chains always start with increased healing after battle, which is fairly predictable given my strategy (control Maria, spam Scatter Beam cancel combos, kill enemy, repeat) but annoying because I'm really going after triple experience. I forget what the last move has to be to start with triple exp, but since I never ever start with it it's probably symbology or minor attack or something that even the AI doesn't use (not entirely true; the AI-controlled Fayt and Nel love using symbology. To the point where I had to turn off Fayt's Explosion spell so he didn't keep MP-killing himself with it).
I have a loaf of bread stuffed with cheese, pepperoni, and Italian sausage in the oven. I hope it's delicious, because if it isn't then that's an entire hour wasted and I'll still have to find something to eat. It's probably going to be delicious, though. (Unless it's missing plastic flavour, which I doubt - the directions said to leave the plastic packaging on, but plastic has this nasty tendency of melting when introduced to heat, so yeah, no plastic film in my toaster oven.)
Anyway, back to grinding and tea and cats that are sitting entirely too close for comfort.
