desperanceTonstant Weader fwowed up.
Well, actually not, but as near as damn it. My head hurts and is hot (it's so easy to tell, with all this shaven-headedness), my joints ache and shiver, I am moving i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y, which is always my classic viral symptom.
So: Tonstant Weader weads no more. 'Stead he swallows pills (ibuprofen and co-codamol by turns, hurrah - double meds!) and will tumble downstairs any moment. Going to bed is too much trouble, and besides, Barry wouldn't join me there (don't know what it is about that room, but he just won't). So I shall sprawl on the sofa (which is why I have a seven-footer of extraordinary comfortability) and doze, or listen to the radio, or whatever. See what comes. Be sprawled upon by His Catness, if he can be bothered. Likely he will: it's coming up his tea-time at six, and he's always very affectionate this hour. Afterwards, he will be full of vim and teeth. He thinks I'm fooled by this procedure, each and every day. Y'know what? Perhaps I am.
I shall report back at later date.

Me too
Date: 2006-07-20 07:22 pm (UTC)I struggled into work yesterday feeling yucky and discovered I couldn't string 2 thoughts together plus found a general dizziness and giddyness going on.
So I gave up and came home - which shatters my marvellous 3.5 months without being sick record.
Still felt cr*p today so went to the doctor ('cos last time I didn't and it turned out to be sinusitis). And I've got a cold.
But apparently they are officially horrible things to have in this weather and we should drink even more liquid than normal, take painkillers of choice and rest up.
So it sounds like you're doing the right thing.
Get well soon!
Get better soon
Date: 2006-07-20 07:24 pm (UTC)It's great to read about the cutting process you are doing with your current book. I've just started with your blog, and am working my way back in time. I just wanted to say hello and continue the good work!!!
Devon FINALLY asked me if I would be an advanced reader on her fantasy project... I've been waiting for that question for months... Of COURSE I will, don't be ridiculous!!! And I hereby extend that curtousy to you for "River of the World."
Feel better soon!
Love and Light!
