Bleargh

That about describes how I feel. Dizzy, no energy, unable to focus... I have spent the past few days trying to work at home, attempting to navigate without bumping into walls, sucking down orange juice by the gallon, and forcing myself to consume what are probably the worst-tasting zinc drops ever invented.

My only comforts are these:

  1. A lack of stimuli for my overstressed brain (my brain on Monday: "People talking? Keyboards clattering? Noooooooo!!!!")
  2. A fireplace
  3. My ducky slippers
  4. The fact that Wikipedia is featuring an article on Alison Krauss
  5. The fact that I have five Alison Brown CDs in at the library, thus satisfying my jazz/newgrass craving
  6. The fact that my geekiness remains undaunted by my current state of ill health
Despite my lack of energy, I feel kind of antsy. I miss being at work and seeing my prayer room team. I am going to work tomorrow no matter how I feel. Two and a half days at home is more than enough.

Readers, what do you do to avoid boredom when you get sick?

Honey, I didn't know that you were sick! This must mean that when you called on Mon. and said that you were tired, that was the beginning of the downward spiral. As for I do when I get sick, I almost never get so sick that I have to stay in bed. When I do, I luxuriate in that. I read, watch movies, and sometimes talk to Aunt Brenda. Get better soon!!!!

i don't remember last time i was really sick enough not to go to work... or have to stay in bed for more than a day.

however. when i do. i like to climb into my daddys bed and he brings me powerade with sugar stirred in so its not fizzy. and he's my hotwater bottle. and i sleep all the time. and somehow daddy never picks up my germs even when i'm powerchucking.

of course, that hasn't happened since i was about 8.

i guess i'd bed down and try to sleep... or else i just don't go out, i work with the waves. feel good, do stuff, feel bad, overdose on drugs and play computer.
