My body was in revolt yesterday. NOT FUN. I ended up not buying groceries after work because I didn't think I could be away from a bathroom that long, although I had nothing in the house, so I did stop by the world's best corner store to get some necessities. And also bread and peanut butter, because toast and peanut butter was about the only thing that sounded edible (besides, of course, tinned pineapple, which my brain thinks is the cure for all ills).

This is when it would be very useful to live with someone, so that when I am sick, I could come home and throw myself in bed, and have someone buy me ginger ale. Taking care of yourself when you're sick is lame.

I think I'm mostly better today, although things still feel a little unsettled. It didn't help that my apartment was so hot last night and this morning that I couldn't really breathe properly. I had to moisturize in the living room because I thought I was going to faint if I stayed in the bathroom one more minute. I think there's something wrong if I'm sleeping with no covers and contemplating turning on the air conditioning in MARCH. When there's still SNOW ON THE GROUND.

Hi! I'm apparently grumpy today! Let's blame it on not enough sleep and the prospect of having to cover the front desk because too many people are away.

It does! Although I do appreciate having the bed to myself when I'm sick, so I can flail in peace.

Awww. The next time you're ill, we're going to pack you very carefully in styrofoam peanuts and whisk you off to Chicago to take care of you. I'm very good at puchasing crackers and all-fruit popsicles, drawing luke-warm baths, and perparing room-temperature water with a bendy straw. Carey is excellent at tucking-in and piling on blankets (in the case where you've got the chills while your body is revving up a nice fever).

Or, perhaps, we should whisk ourselves to Toronto, since your hospitals don't charge $1,000 if you should have to hit the ER for IV fluids.

I hope both of you are nicely on the mend, anyway. (Carey just slept through the night! Woo-hoo!) If it's any consolation, our apt. has been pretty warm of late, too, since the radiators are apparently on a timer, not a thermostat.

And again, I say teleportation is the answer to all things. Especially if it involves being coddled by lovely people!

I can't believe how far and wide this bug is moving. I hope you escape it. :(
