Ugh. There is nothing worse than the flu.
The last time I was this sick, I think I was 10 years old. My Mom couldn't leave work so she took me to stay with my sister's friend's Mom, whose daughter was also home sick. I don't really remember the events prior, but I do remember waking myself up from a nap on the bed by puking all over the place. It was terrible. I've had the flu before, but nothing like this. Nothing that lasts for 2 weeks!
I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say that the worst part was the fever & chills. The kind where you just can't get warm. Even though the heat is blasting and there are 6 blankets on you. Doesn't matter. You're teeth-chatteringly, bone-numbingly cold. And of course, 3 hours later you wake up sweating like crazy.
Wait-- I take that back. The worst part is the fact that, a week later, I still have no energy, and no appetite. And I keep forgetting to eat, so I wake up starving at like, 3 am.
Oh right, I said I wouldn't bore you with the details, didn't I? Okay fine.
The only reason any of this is really bothersome to me is that this was supposed to be the beginning of planning season. I was going to get a real head start on the plans for the cabin, and the garden, and the greenhouse! I was going to feel better about my procrastinating! But now I feel lethargic. And a little worried. There is just going to be so much to do.
It's times like these when I really have to exercise my self-awareness and meditation skills. If I don't, I'll go crazy. Stir-crazy.
So, I am going to put up another beautiful Sarah Ferguson photo sequence, to remind me of the beauty and blessedness of the here and now.
Sigh, yes, that did make me feel better. Thanks Sarah.
