Incidentally, my mother (because she's nice) went to the pharmacy yesterday to pick up my medication refills, because the pharmacy doesn't want anyone to come in if they have flu symptoms.
Pharmacy: Sick people, DO NOT WANT.
We were discussing this just now while I got my breakfast and that doctors' clinics have the same signs up and mum reckons they're running the risk of someone dying of meningitis or something coz they didn't go to the doctor. Which actually isn't implausible, it seems to be more common here than in the states (I've seen it used as an "omg wtf uncommon!" illness on medical shows) and I can see someone mistaking stiff neck for general muscle/joint aches, and stiff neck is the one symptom that EVERYONE knows is linked to meningitis.

how can such a teeny animal, that in and of itself doesn't actually make any noise louder than a murmur except when screaming in extreme pain, be so noisy? it's the thumping and clomping... the websites on rabbit communication say they thump when there's danger to alert the rest of the warren (/people), but holly has not read these websites. he thumps to tell me he's bored of his cage now and wants to come out. today it was at 8am, but he's done it at 4am before. and then he runs around going "clomp clomp clomp" all over the floor. i also have a fairly impressive bruise on the inside of my forearm where he was giving me lovebites.
though somehow unexpectedly expensive / unexpectedly noisy / expectedly messy / occasionally painful with affection < FUZZY AND DARLING. especially coz he is alive and able when by all rights he shouldn't be.
have been playing sims - the doctor set the kitchen on fire once already and keeps burning his food, took many days to find a job and is generally a rather incompetent father, while jenny has top marks, more friends than him and is capable of actually cooking a meal - and working through the completed fic from tardis big bang. novella-length torchwood fic for the yay! and, you know, basically guaranteed that they're going to be of decent quality, unlike some of the many-short-chaptered epics that get posted to the fic comms I'm on.
i should really be writing my own fic. have to figure out how they track their dude down for the chase scene and get into jack's headspace for the swimming bit.
