Tuesdays...
4/22/03 09:01 am...can start unhappily sometimes, especially when you're sick and you know it.
(clap your hands?)
My least favorite feature of illness is the way I suddenly hate sleeping. This occurs because I am inevitably worse after taking even a small nap. Fortunately (?), I also develop the mysterious ability to sleep a very short time and be awake once I wake up. Case in point, last night I went to bed at nearly six in the morning and woke up fifteen minutes ago. I don't feel tired, and so I will go to work.
I will stop at a drug store on the way to work and purchase a big box of tissues and bag of either cough drops or some kind of hard candy to suck on so that my throat will not ache and so that I'll be able to talk today.
Tonight I will go and visit a dear friend, who I believe is also sick, possibly with the same thing as I, and we will sit and drink a lot of tea and feel miserable together. Possibly we will play amusing games to take our mind off the problematic nature of the illness(es).
Tomorrow we will, hopefully, go and see pretty flowers. I successfully delayed the dentist appointment that I was supposed to have today, which is ultra-good.
Flurgh. Time to go have another cough drop and perhaps some tea or something. I rather wish that I didn't have to think or speak today.
