At Least My Bowels Haven't Fallen Out



After a week or so of suspecting there's a cootie lurking within, I'm sick. I should've known when I went to bed at 6:00 on Tuesday night and could barely wake up at 6:30 Wednesday morning that something was amiss. Can't get warm until I take a hot shower. Slightly achy. You know how it is. So I'm sick. Woke up with two ears aching and head pounding. I just changed from my pajamas into different pajamas with a hoodie (warmer) and brushed my teeth and I think that will be the extent of my beauty regime for the day. Tomorrow is my regular day off so I'm hoping that two days of lots of fluids and lots of rest will have me back up to speed for Saturday since I am working the weekend. On the bright side, I always have a pot of home made soup on hand during the fall and winter so I'm going to just settle in with endless bowls of that and hope for some good movies on Turner. And if there are no movies, I have a book I'm in the middle of, a historical novel. So if one has to be sick, this is an acceptable situation.
Again, I blame my subarctic office for this. Do not tell me that cold does not make a person sick. I have been cold and now I am sick. It's science.
Hope all is well on your end on this sunny Autumn day. As for me, I'm sick.

2 Chronicles 21:15 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

this sickness is unacceptable. i'll order up a prayer hankie, stat.
additionally, building a cookie tower and then consuming said tower is probably quite necessary given the circumstances.

...not telling you that cold temperatures do not make you sick (but they don't. They do, however lower your resistance...but you already know this, RN that you are....but I never said any of that.)

how do I get a cookie tower?

what good historical novel are you reading?

Deb said...

I'll send your soup supply for tomorrow if need be. The Shack, every time I leave home to get that book I forget the title. Shack, Shack, and more Shack. I'm tying a string (as I type) around my index finger. Remind me tomorrow what the string is for please ;) ... Hoping AND praying that your bowels are restored and your cold is warmed up. Hugs from the North Woods
