I hate flu

I am so ill, I have become thick. Which is a shame, because I had the perfect straight line handed to me yesterday.

One of the nice lesbians next door was introducing me to her cats and dog (I already know the other dog. Of course, we're yet to learn any of the actual human names, but there is a proper order to these things!) She pointed to my front window, where Cookie was sitting watching the world and said 'Is that your cat?'

I completely failed to say 'OH MY GOD! HOW DID THAT GET THERE?!' or even 'It is now!'

Absolute comedy vacuum.

I fear my fanfair fic is doomed.

Oh dear - I hope you feel better soon. Here - have an english lit joke to cheer you up:

That cracked me up. I staggered in to work today, and by 4pm was hoping for the apocalypse to call a dignified end to things, but then xkcd and Sven's return in Questionable Content did wonders for my will to live :-)

And made me want to write Emily Dickinson: Texas Ranger.

YAY SVEN. I also approved massively! Sorry, I have to comment when other people know and love QC.

Good luck. *sends you tea and a duvet*

Sven is exactly like so many of my favourite bad ex boyfriends, but unlike Faye, I knew they were bad at the time and was unsurprised. I'm so glad he's back!

And QC rocks. Marten's mum reminds me so much of my own, as does his dad. Cross the two and you have her!

Thank you for the tea and duvet! A weekend spent mostly in bed has helped, I think I have turned the corner and am on the road to recovery now, thank goodness!
