Ah:

[desperance]

I appear to be sick. I have Symptoms; I am Not Myself. That might explain yesterday (for the culmination of which, I forgot to go to the theatre. Patrick Stewart in The Tempest, and I forgot). Also today, wherein I have struggled to write one page (one! and that a short one) and to read forty pages of proofs.

I really can't afford this; I have three urgent things to do simultaneously (the proofs, the proposal for what in shoddy shorthand we will call the dragon books, and a swift rewrite of the new novel to make it all pretty for publishers to see), and a fourth pending (ghost story, for Phantoms - book now!).

However, it's not offering much of a choice. I am going to lie on the sofa and read about jade, which I can pretend is still work, of a sort; maybe I will be better later. Maybe Barry will come and lie on top of me, in a healing sort of way. If not, he is a very silly boy, but we know that already. We have seen him chase his tail in the bath. If I only had a vid-cam, you - and YouTube - would see it too.

I'm sending vibes, for what they're worth.

Get better soon!

I hope you are feeling like yourself again soon.

Love and Light!

Patrick Stewart.
In The Tempest.
You forgot.

You forgot?

This is clearly a serious and tragic illness, and I hope you recover very soon! Go lie down, now.

*sends virtual tea and muffins to aid in your recovery*

That was sort of my reaction, but I couldn't put it in words. :)

Right there with ya. Turns out the Latin's making less sense because of a horrible sinus infection. Will be better soon, but damn test is on 30th Nov.

Feel better, you!

And forgettting Patrick Stewart in The Tempest? That's gotta be a sign of the End Times.
