It seems such an unusual thing to say, normal sick, but indeed I am. I have the flu. This is in addition to all the other stuff of aching bones and roiled entrails. I'm coughing up yuck business and having to blow my nose every five minutes. And of course I'm all head-stuffed as well.
I am writing this from the end room bed. The fan I use for white noise is still on and the only real light in the room is from the glow of the tablet screen and the furnace orange of the heater with three of the four bars lit. My throat aches, guts are aflame and my limbs are reporting ouchies.
Yay!
Normal sick. It's the icing on the crap cake.
UPDATE: Oh, I forgot, I massively exacerbated this. Well, the guts side. Woolworths had a special on Sara Lee ice-cream. I'm only human. I got two tubs. Before I knew it I'd consumed half a litre of vanilla and done some serious damage to the butterscotch tub. Cramping and gas pain fired up by early afternoon and when theWife came home we chucked the remnants. It was either that or one or both of us eat it.
I guess I rationalised that as I was sick I could have comfort foods. And that the dairy firing up on my guts doesn't always happen and therefore it might not happen this time. Only it did happen. It happened big time.
Ice-cream; it truly is my electrified cupcake.

I've been off sick all this week as well. I figured you must be down with something 'cause I sent you some emails at work and hadn't heard back (no rush, obviously). Feel better, compadre.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry. I will get to them!
ReplyDeleteHey, no, no pressure. That's what I said. *checks* Actually, I said no rush. Same thing.
ReplyDeleteGet better. No more ice cream!
