The World Chortles In My General Direction

Posted by Moose on October 14th, 2009. Filed under: My Brain Needs a Drink.

My ability to be charming and coherent is probably significantly impeded by the wasting plague I’ve contracted, but here I am anyway. For reference, the wasting plague is more commonly known as the average head cold, but what’s the fun in a head cold? Nothing like a little light melodrama and combing Facebook for a page on Lingering Victorian Ailments to add entertainment value to the ingestion of yet more alka seltzer.

My illness pattern is either weirdly psychosomatic or just plain bad timing. Every time something life shifting has happened in the past six months I’ve gotten sick. New love interest? Get sick. New job? Get sick. Finally decide to start searching for a new apartment? Get sick. I think my physiology is a little too attached to the status quo. Stop that, physiology. You’re impeding my ability to get shit done.

I did manage to see one apartment and have lunch with the cutest baby in the world (and his parents) on Sunday before I finally succumbed to the Sore Throat of Evil and fell face down on the bed. Where I’ve remained ever since. I formally request the world to stop rotating for a few days so I won’t be drastically behind when my head stops thumping. Thank you.

    GET BETTER. That’s an order, not a request!

    I formally request the world to stop rotating as well and I’m not even sick :) It would help for everyone, I think. Should we have a vote?

    I just hurt my neck somehow, like turning to answer the phone, and would like to just be able to spend the rest of the day in bed or on my couch.

    The wasting plague….interesting…very! I’m sorry, I’m only capable of dots today.

    Take care, and hope you’re up and about real soon.

    Isn’t it interesting when our life throws stress our way how our immune systems can buck under the pressure? I’m fascinated by it.

    I hope you feel better!

    I used to like to say I had consumption whenever I got sick. Mostly in hopes that someone would send me to a resort in the Alps to recover. Unfortunately my mom never fell for it.

    At least you had a solid excuse not to leave the house on Tuesday (I assume). Because that rain wind combo was bananas.
