In non-Leochi celebrating news ...

Woke up a bit late this morning, staggered into the bathroom feeling quite horrible. It was 8am. At 8.30am I had managed to wee, wash my hands and brush my teeth in the correct order and without mishaps, but that was all and I  had a fairly clear idea that  anything more complicated than that would probably be beyond me. I called into work and went back to bed. And woke up at 5pm. The cats were sitting on J's pillow quietly looking at me, with mildly worried expressions ("If she never wakes up, who will feed us when the man is playing internet spaceships?")

Since then, I have had two naps.

This whole sickness thing is not funny. I think I have not had enough sunlight this winter and need more Vitamin D in my diet. Though I eat loads of eggs and vegies. Still, some sunning tomorrow, and a giant garlic sandwich.

I have friends coming to stay tomorrow night, I will warn them and let them decide whether or not they wish to risk the plague.

Actually, have a spot more [personal profile] leochi celebration, go and check out her Snape tarot card here. It's beautiful!

God, that sucks. I hope you feel better soon. Do you have zinc lozenges? They really do help take the edge off a cold.

I do, and they have at least helped the old throat. Alas, it's an old-fashioned dose of actual influenza, with the attendant aches and lethargy. Boo and hiss, I say! I would like to get properly well so that I can have a chance of fighting off sickness, but it's just one thing after another!

*sends you hugs and chocolate*

I'm so sorry, Brampton. Flus are the devil. :(

Cheers, dear. At least I am basically healthy underneath all the mank, so it shouldn't last too long.
