Look at me, I'm an illionaire!
Feb. 25th, 2016 08:36 amWritten on Wednesday night:
I haven't been this sick for a long time... five solid days of stay-at-home sick, with decreasing amounts of sleep needed and gradually decreasing symptoms. (So very gradual. Ugh.)
From my current perspective, the stuff I usually do on a daily basis is AMAZING. The miles walked! The working out! The high level brain function! I mean, today I feel better than I have in five days and I'm basically just happy that my snot is almost clear. The next couple of weeks are going to be quite the slog, getting back into the swing of things, and that's assuming the best case -- that I feel approximately normal in a couple more days. I am going to be heavy on the self-care for weeks, too, though, and when I get caught up is when I get caught up.
Being sick makes me chill out. All my usual goals seem like something from another universe, and my usual worries feel too abstract to focus on. It'd be nice if I could get this sort of break from ambition and fretfulness without the misery... maybe some drug or other would do it.
