Ugh. Hope that's finally over.

Spent the last two days sick, again. With my immune system weakened by fighting with last weeks Con-Crud, it was apparently all too easy for me to pick something else up that I got to fight with this week. This time it was the second-worst-sort-of-ick(TM), at least for me. I woke up feeling feverish and headachy on Monday, but had a ton of work to get through, and no real fever, so I bucked up, took some medecine and headed off to work. Mistake! I did manage to get through what needed doing, but by noon I was in no shape to concentrate and much warmer, so I went home for chicken soup and comfort.

Sadly, a single afternoon of this did not prove to be enough, and I wasn't feeling any better on Tuesday. Here's what elevates it to second-worst-sort-of-ick(TM), at least in my book. This nasty little bug was the kind that kept me alert enough that I couldn't sleep, and listless enough that I couldn't concentrate on anything. So my day went mostly like this:

( A Conversation between Laura's Brain and The Ick. )

Okay, so maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic, but by about five I was bored with a capital BORED, but felt better. My accomplishments for the day totalled washing sheets and making the bed, reading The Nocturnals "Black Halloween", and kicking The Ick. By seven-thirty I was ravenous, and the fried rice I made for the teenagers dinner just didn't cut it. I ate tacos. They stayed where they belonged. I still have a sinus headache, but that's nothing.

This morning started with a little A.M. sexy-sexy. I'm not sick. Or bored. Things are looking up.

In other news...

I'm eating Turkish Delight and you're not. Okay, maybe you are and I just don't know because I can't see you...but mine's from Turkey! And it has hazelnuts in it. One of my student employees went to Turkey for Spring Break with her religious studies class (for their study of Soufi women and how religion functions in an officially secular state, pretty interesting stuff) and she brought back candy. As you do. I've had a fascination with turkish delight ever since grade school and my first reading of "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", as I always thought that it had to be some really good candy to get Edmund to betray his brother and sisters like that.

Final Assessment:
It is pretty yummy stuff, but not worth betraying anybody.

Hey berkie and malinear
