Sick!

[shesaspiral]

I am so sick. SO SICK. And I'll tell you how I caught this sickness, too.

It's been months since I've had any sort of social plans. I've spent virtually an entire season in bed. I was so excited for last night, because the Corner Laughers were playing in Sacramento, which meant good music and also Angela. These are both extremely delightful! However

Aw. May you be safely tucked up in duvet and fuffy pyjamas as I type this. *sends soup and a kitten*

Illness always picks the worst time to strike, doesn't it? What would have been a lovely holiday in Paris last year was ruined by sneezing, phlegm, and an inability to describe a chest infection in French. Oh, and I contracted swine flu a few days prior to my uni induction down in London. And need I remind you of the non-dairy creamer incident in Oregon.

My parents got me a duvet for Christmas. It's lovely and fluffy. I was a little pissed at them when I learned how much they spent on it -- it's the second most expensive thing I own, after my car. But it's so comfortable, I can't even bring myself to complain.

The creamer incident! I felt horrible! My mom's been on vacation since mid-December; she saved up a combination of vacation time and furlough days and took off for three weeks or so. And she's been sick the entire time! With this same cold, I think. But it's so much worse for her, because she's had a compromised immune system ever since her stem cell transplant in '98. Plus, it caused her blood sugar levels to hover around an extra-high level. My point is, my cold shouldn't even be half as bad as hers. I have ice cream to soothe my throat and daytime television to soothe my brain.

That's such a thoughtful present. My best investment of recent times was my cashmere cardigan, purchased with some of my savings. It cost the same as one month's rent, but it's comfortable and soft and glorious and makes me look like a starlet if I chuck some pearls around the neck.

Do you have a picture of the duvet of wonder? Has Nia wrecked it with duvet forts yet?

Send your mum some get-well-soon vibes from me, too. Is there anything from these shores she might like to cheer her up?

I retardedly, after happily discovering your new journal, forgot to actually ADD you. So I just saw this now. hehe. I was sad to miss you but completely understand! I'm sure we'll play in Sac again someday.

I'm sorry you're still feeling sick! I had a horrible bout of Angelitis last January (it was actually tonsilitis, but that sounds better) that had me in bed off and on for close to a month. Bleh! May it abandon you much sooner than that.
