I love how my body knows just when to give out. I have been running like a crazy person since April knowing that September will bring me some time off to relax. In order to force me to be still and stop my madness, my body decided to get sick on me this week. Clever creature.
Since Thursday I have been on my back with a sore throat and fever. (I personally love having a fever, especially with the wild fever-induced dreams. I spent the night churning goat's milk into Darth Vadar-shaped butter paddies that I then hand-fed to raccoons.) The past two days, I was so ill, I didn't even go on-line. Rather I sat and read like they used to do in the old days. (Also, a fever gives me that glazed-over ruddy look of a crazed mystic that some say suits me.)
I should really be back in Hartford, but with feeling ill and the weather being so fine in the mountains where my dad lives, and it being the week of my mom's passing, I decided to hang out here a little longer.
Guess I will make the journey tomorrow. I should be back in Hartford? I forget my mother's wise words, "Don't should on yourself! (say it out loud with a husky NY accent for the full effect).

Heal well, okay?
*hugs* (But not too close so that I end up catching whatever virus you have currently -- can't be catching a cold during only the second week of school, now can I?)
Feel better. I'll talk to you soon, I hope, yeah?
Glad you had a productive few months leading up to this, though. Sounds like you really hit it out of the park at GB.
Love your mom's saying!
If were to stay in bed for a couple of days I would choose completely different reasons. But that just is me. I'm not judging anyone. We are all adults and free to make our own decisions.
I have a sick daughter here with her head in my lap. She is playing with a little wooden box snake toy thingie a nice uncle left here this spring.
Get well so you can enjoy the trip home. If you ever get so spoiled that you don't enjoy it just suck it up and do it for me.
elliot: Now she's sound asleep and seem as calm as can be. She have had pain in the right side of her stomach and I was a bit worried about her appendix for a while and hope that it is something else. I don't like the idea of my little baby and knifes...
I hope you're well otherwise, my friend.
Feeling less horrible, but have to get healed up soon, I have a TV thing on Thursday. Will give you all details when I have them.
On the other hand, sometimes a fever is just a fever. smile

You probably won't feel completely better until you do another interview, media whore.
Love always,
