no, no. go on without me.
February 22, 2010
After a week with the Diva home on a week's "spring"* break, I was looking forward to my own "spring" break, which is this week. I'll lounge, I thought. I'll watch the Olympics and knit. I'll catch up on all of my reading. It'll be fabulous.
You know how this ends, right?
My body took one look at my week of relatively little that absolutely had to be done and celebrated by picking up the dread snotty lurgy that the kids have been swapping back and forth. Hoo-ray.
It could be worse. I know. Still, so much for getting things done.
I'll be over here with my tissues and my tea. No, no. I'm fine. No need to go get me some toast. I'll be OK.
----------------------------------------
* Spring won't be here for another six months, at least. At which point it won't so much be "spring" as "warmish mud" season. I'm a big fan of Upstate New York's summers, falls and winters but spring can suck it.
I always used to get sick on school holidays. My mother would say that my body was just waiting for me to have time to be sick. You would have thought I'd have left school a lot earlier than I did. Feel better. I hope there's some mindless stitching in your bag.

I agree with Anna. This often happens to me.

Yep, used to happen to me all the time.

I used to have the ability to always spike a temp right before something fun hapened. Did it for yrs and missed out on alot of fn. Finally told my body to eff off. But I feel your pain babe. Can you read from bed?

Hope you feel better quickly. My Korean dry cleaner recommends ginger tea. Fresh sliced ginger steeped in boiling water.

I would offer you some of my Nyquil but I AM STRUNG OUT ON IT and can't spare any.
Hope you're on on the mend soon. And wishing you at least some ice dancing tonight. It's getting so delightfully weird that I can't even guess what they'll be wearing tonight.
