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.

I'm also having a case of thickness currently. The other day I was paying for something at the deli and found that for a few moments, I had forgotten how to count.

It's going around.

I quite agree. I was sitting here, drawing, and the phone rings. For a minute I sit, and stare stupidly at my SLR which is sitting on top of the scanner beside me...wondering how to answer it.

My big black camera in no way resembles my small, white phone. In no way.

It looks like a camera.

None of my phones have cameras, I could be forgiven otherwise I suppose.

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

Oh no! You poor thing. I hope you feel better soon. *sends you hot soup and snuggles*

Please get well soon. My mom is ill, too, although her case is more serious, so there's a lot of illness going around and I'm trying my best to keep healthy.

I fear my fanfair fic is doomed.

Ditto. ^^;;

Even full of snot you're still brighter and more intelligently amusing than pretty much anyone I know, honey.

*sends you lemon tea and single malt*

OH NOES! Mr B's evil flu has eaten your brain! I'm sure your fan_fair fic will be fine and snork-inducingly funny!

*dons hazmat suit and hugs you*

If I was closer, I would bring you chicken soup.

Yes timing really is everything. Hope you feel better soon Kitten.

"Sending you virtual chicken noodle soup and hugs".

Peace,
Bubba

No worries, I am sure your wits will return when you are feeling better! Which I hope you will soon. I myself have developed a distressing tendency to run upstairs to do something then stand about staring blankly at my room trying to remember why I came there for.

I thought I no longer was sick but my brain remains permaclogged, you're too funny AND confirmed my ongoing thickness! Just imagine how smart and funny you are and will be again when less ill or even completely well, it's scary.

ETA: see also eta to my post you so kindly replied to. Running up stairs is nothing compared to my ... dropsy. Or mayo.

*snuggles and sends you nice, hot, healing, herb-y soup!*

I think the thickness bug is going around. The other day, I went to work on a national holiday... well, nearly.

Not entirely a comedy vacuum! You just fail to appreciate your own wit at this point due to the evil scum inhabiting your head. I'm sure it's of alien origin. Die, evil scum, die!

Feel better soon :-)

Classic. I still snort whenever I remember this line.
