I ache all over, and I'm shivering. Struggling to stay awake. No interest in eating anything today. 9 in the evening and I'm going to drag my poor unco-operative body to bed, and hope tomorrow will be a better day.
Argh moan mope.
Moan mope argh.
Writing this is a triumph of the mind over the dumb insolence of the body.
Garghhhh! maybe I've got zombie-itis for halloween.
Not flu, can't be, I've been jabbed by a pointy needle against that.
Sleeping sickness? Malaria?
Wash hands after visiting blog, it might be contagious.
Urk.
I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThe pointy needle is no guarantee
ReplyDeleteGet well soon
My uncle Jack had had.
ReplyDeleteHow I miss him......
Man flu.
ReplyDeleteThank you, well wishers, I have tooken your advice and gotten well soon.
ReplyDeleteBut.... Adullamite? What? "had had"? que?
And Sheila? Man Flu? O cruel woman. How could you?
I was truly desperately ill.
Being a man, however, I was able to shrug off a bout of malaria/dengue fever/or otherwise a disease not yet fully recorded.... in 48 hours, yes, a malaise which in some populations would kill thousands, and I fought it off, bravely, apart from a little whimpering and moaning when the voices from the other end of the tunnel were calling upon me to let go, to relax, fall into the thundering torrent and be dashed upon the rocks toward the light.
I survived.
That?
Oh, it's just a scratch.
I hope it's not from that frozen supermarket pizza you ate. I'm guessing Adullamite meant "had that". He's a furriner and needs translating, you know. I do hope you get well, or at least can still type if you don't.
