"You Should be Ashamed, Jane..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Iller to-day--cannot eat anything without feeling sick.

Mum thinks I should eat chicken soup and toast. I think I am not allowed starches and carbohydrates. Mum thinks that ill overrides diet. I think that it does not either.

In any event, I miss the blessing of the animals because I must stay home... but she said she'd bring me back a pinwheel! ^___^ A red and silver pinwheel. So I'm smiling.

But I can't get warm.

Does not. *clings* Are you better?

*coughs* After sleeping tweleve hours straight, yes. *snuggles* And it does. Because you won't get better if you don't eat to have the energy to get better, and that means whatever you can keep down. *pokes more*

*clings* Well, good. Was worried...! Sent you postcards. *hugsmuch* It's not so much keeping things down as everything leaves a horrible acidic taste in my mouth as though I were being poisoned. I can't bear to eat more than a bite of anything. But anyway, I don't want to eat. I want to stay on diet.

*pets* Whee! I'm going to try to do mail today - haven't all week. I got your package! :D There was much squeeing. Mom and my friend Kim squeed too.

*nods* Right. Well, food is still important, especially when it's been difficult to eat for more than one day. Health darling. You have to take care of yourself. Witness my need to sleep half a day, instead of being up doing work, like I wanted to.

^_________^!!! Oh, I'm so glad! ^_______^ Did you like the envelope? I thought the mailing envelope was so bright and happy and eee I didn't even know they made those! ^__^

All right. But I don't want to be healthy, I want to be beautiful. >_< --Oh, God, did I just say that?

It's darling! It's right by my computer right now, all bright and cheerful. :D I love the ready post counters at post offices so much! So many neat things there!

*huuuuuuugs* Yes, you did honey. It's okay, really. It'll be all right, especially since you get that that's what's going on. But you still have to take proper care of yourself. When you don't is when it goes from being a perfectly normal neurosis in a culture as messed up as ours to being an actual danger to your health and therefore to the rest of you.

*cuddles!*

Oh, yay. ^___^ I'm so glad. And it's true! They really are quite wonderful! ^____^

I know. I know. It's still a neurosis, isn't it? After everything? Can I blame it on our culture? That might be nice. I don't think I'm endangering my physical health yet; just my mental.

*feels warmer*
