Bother

Don't you hate it when you're sitting on the toilet and you hear the garbage truck go by (and of course you haven't put your garbage out yet)?

You will ascertain from this that I'm working at home today, which seems to be a Good Thing, as I feel distinctly as if I am Coming Down With Something, if I haven't Come Down already, as last night I was so absolutely deathly tired that I fell asleep at 8:00 pm five minutes into an episode of Angel and didn't wake up until it was over (I'll watch it again, because it was the first episode of season 4 and I want to be sure that Angel gets de-submerged and Cordie returns from whatever ethereal state she seems to have disappeared to). This morning I feel as if I have weights tied to all my limbs and I ache all over and my face feels about three times its size... yes, I think I'm SICK. Perhaps this explains at least in part my shaky emotional state of the past week as I always seem to get pitiful and teary when I'm under the weather. Sigh. Oh well, at least it's the weekend, but in some ways it would have been nicer to be able to take a legitimate sick day and not waste my only days off being unwell. At least the term is nearly over.

It is a little known fact...

that if I stay in bed, or at least more or less on top of it, so do the dogs. They have been flaked out peacefully in their beds all morning, snoozing, while I marked papers and slothed (I have determined that sloth should be a verb: I sloth, you sloth, we spend the day slothing). As soon as I pull out socks and underwear and start making moves like I'm going to do something other than sloth, the younger beardie, at least, leaps up and starts bouncing up and down and barking and occasionally hurling himself at me in the hopes of pushing me along faster. The trick, therefore, is to stay on my bed ALL DAY and keep the dogs fooled. Now if I could somehow arrange for the delivery of soup and hot tea and apples and gin without having to move... where are those super powers when you really need them?

Shock and surprise

Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.
