Tonight finds me sick. It's been sneaking up on me since Wednesday. I've been laying about most of the day, dozing a little. Right now, I'm a nose-blowin', soup-eatin', lozenge-suckin', mucus-spittin' (and oh, so sexy *arowr*) curmudgeoness.
I know who to blame for this. I caught this from Amy, who brought it in here when she wrote this. She went around touching everything, and you know how bad the closed ventilation system is in the blogosphere. Somebody comes on board with a cold, everyone's going to get it. At least Caroline was considerate enough to keep her hands clean while she hung out here. God knows, I don't want a norovirus. I want to keep my soup down, dammit.
Oh, no. I just realized that I'm doing the same thing. Okay, I want everyone to wipe down your cache with rubbing alcohol or a disinfectant, take some vitamin C, and don't eat any cookies off your hard drive. So sorry! Haaaaackk! Ptui.

I was looking forward to your next post. Not at all what I expected, but I love it! So nice to see you in such good humor, even while in the clutches of a nasty virus!
ReplyDeleteNot quite fair to blame Amy, even though her three kids probably have her smeared in snot throughout most of the winter months. Most computers have anti-viral protection, so you will probably have to look closer to home for the vector of your current affliction.
Any little wretches with runny noses, scampering about the homestead?

Who, me sick? *looks around nervously* It was a cover-up for what I really have. I have something called GID. If I remember right, it stands for gender identity disease. Y'see, because of this, I'm really... gasp... a girl! Inside!!! Holy crap! Shhh shhh, we have to keep our voices down. Please don't let the feds know if they come knocking on your door. I think one of them wanted a date with me! I just hope you didn't catch it from me, Leslie. Nobody deserves to go through this malarkie.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that, pet... But this the time of year, and all that. "Season of mists and mellow wossmames, and colds and flu", as the poet said. Hope yuo recover soon... :-)
ReplyDelete@ Amy K... D for "Disorder", rather than "Disease", I hope, Amy K. Otherwise everyone would be catching it!! :-)
love

My own home remedy is a pousse cafe in a tiny liquer glass : carefully poured measures of Cointreau, Baileys and grape flavored Dimatap. They organize in nice horizontal layers and will help you forget much. Including brushing your teeth for a least a few hours.
ReplyDeleteNearby loved ones will be repelled by this behavior, and will save themselves the likelihood of falling ill too.
I am not a Doctor, but dammit, I have my health....
Get well soon.
Side effects may include dizziness, ditziness, loss of consortium, show-tunes and melancholia. Do not operate heavy machinery or mascara applicators.
At least being ill allows you to partake of your favorite home brew cures... (You know it's bad when you don't want to even do that)
ReplyDeleteMine is a toddy made in an average size mug:
Mix a large table spoon of honey, the juice of one lemen and three capfuls of cheap scotch (don't waste the single malts in this!)
Once mixed fill the mug with hot water
Reallys helps sort you out if drunk instead of your normal night cap...
Anyway, get well soon!
You can always try Benjamin Franklin's suggested remedy for a cold:
ReplyDeleteNail a hat to the wall at the foot of your bed, then get into bed and drink spirits, until you see two hats.
Get well soon!

I wasn't well enough to try these remedies!

Sorry its taken a while for me to post but I had to go out to the chemists and buy gloves, face mask and full body suit, before I dare risk writing anything.
ReplyDeleteThose germs on your side of the pond are so strong!
Hope you feel better soon.
I hope today finds you feeling better Leslie.
ReplyDelete@Petra - Ooh! Can't wait to get sick. Wait, according to Amy, I am sick. Gonna try it tonight!
ReplyDelete@Stace - Yeah, I'll try that too. If I drink both, will I turn into 100% boy again?
@Leslie - Love your humor, girlfriend! Now get your ass in gear and get better! Foundation and drippy noses don't go good together....but how would I know?
