Send tea, cupcakes, and distractions

Whoo, guess who came home from L.A. with the plague? I wonder if it's a different strain than the plague going around Seattle?

The Stroppy One let me sleep until past noon today, and I still feel exhausted. Like, wobbly on my feet and shaking exhausted. Plus muscle aches and a throat that feels like it's been scoured with sharpened steel wool. So my plans for today involve not moving much from the couch and probably napping. A LOT. Plus lots and lots of tea, and comfort movies.

Dammit, I had stuff I wanted (and needed) to get done today. But the Stroppy One has told me in VERY CLEAR TERMS that I am unwell, and I need to accept that instead of fretting and being cranky. I know he's right, it's just ... things! Things that Must Get Done! ::sulks::

Not goth, but adorable nonetheless.

Let's try this again now. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yItYBRyOYZA) is the video that I had tried to post before. Again, it's by Blaqk Audio and it's called "The Fear of Being Found"

I also was forced to take some down time/nap time today (fatique and seasonal nosebleeds) which I never do. So I feel it's my duty to remind you to RELAX and have some Earl Grey - the bergamot seems to help! :)

Sometimes, one must just resolve oneself to lounging about in flowing robes and coughing like a heroine from some Edgar Allan Poe story...

...Hrrm, on second thought, that probably isn't the best allegory.

So what you're saying is that I'm going to get buried alive?! I don't like this plan.

Well, you might just be buried in the sepulchre there by the sea.

Like I said, perhaps not the best allegory.

If its like what swept through our area it takes you out for 10 days. The screaming with pain throat ick and muscle aches is how it starts. I was in bad shape for about 5 days but it took the spouse down and he didn't make it to work all week. Things learned. Chloraseptic spray took the throat pain down to tolerable. A natural remedy is Throat Coat tea by Traditional Medicinals. Fred Meyer has it. It works so well we always keep a box on the shelf. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
