Well, I'm finally ill. :P But not the fun 'lie in bed and get loved' part. Mainly the 'oh shit' and *run for the WC* part.
I am actually somewhat amused by the situation. The poetic justice of it is just beautiful. I've been whingeing about how I so dearly want to get ill for the last couple of months, and now I'm whingeing (with a wicked pleasure, yes, but assuredly still whingeing) about how I want to feel better. Mum has me on a diet of bread and water.
Oooh, and I just love having a Mum who's a nurse. It's so amusing. Because I'll say, 'I'm feeling such-and-such a way', and she'll be all, 'ha ha! I dig into my sooper-handy nursing bag and pull out Product Number ONE! BUT WAIT! You say you have This-More-Specific-Symptom? Why, then, I'll pull out Product Number TWO! And if you need anything else, I have Products THREE THROUGH EIGHT! Merely name your symptoms, and I know exactly what's wrong with you, AND THE CURE!'
And in the meantime, Soujin's sitting there with her mouth open, staring at SuperNurseMum and her sooper-handy nursing bag and filling in with the appropriate oooohs and aaaahs. And taking the Products, because she needs them.
In other news, reading Of Mice and Men. Can already tell that it is going to make me cry. But Tortilla Flat was very good, and I am very in awe of the ending. I think it was Just Right, and very Dignified but awfully Sad.
Working on several fics. The snow was inspiring, but the near unceasing illness is not.

Date: 2005-02-25 04:45 am (UTC)Give me a Tylenol, water (if she's in a good mood, chocolate milk), and if I whine too much, Death Glare Version 4.2.
Somehow, it works.
