Missing Day
I knew I was coming down with something Thursday when I just felt uncomfortable, but by Friday morning, I knew I was sick. You know how it feels when all you want to do is sleep? Your head is thick and your innards are gurgling? I think I must have had the flu. Or food poisoning. I’m still not entirely well, but it feels good enough just to feel normal again.
I slept most of the whole day yesterday, while AdventureMan unpacked his boxes and got things put away, tiptoeing in now and then to ask if he could bring me something. The Qatteri Cat kept close by, cuddling up, comforting me while I slept. If I hadn’t felt so rotten, it would have been a nice day.
In one of those management tests that enjoy a flurry of popularity and then drop into obscurity, I once learned that I am primarily motivated by achievement. It’s probably true. The thing I hate about being sick, apart from the being sick part, which was/is pretty awful, is that I haven’t gotten anything done. Today AdventureMan got the cat scratching post and the cat furniture put together. I ate a banana. Even just writing a post is stretching my limits today.
It feels like some kind of flu, but I don’t think I have a fever, and I seem to be recovering fairly quickly. Insh’allah . . . I think I’ll go back to bed now. π
We had such grand plans for this weekend, the first one in a long time where AdventureMan is home for two days. Happy Fourth of July!

I hope so too, Little Diamond. I actually started unpacking boxes today and just got overwhelmed. That isn’t like me at all. I hope I am better by tomorrow. π¦

I was already in bed when you wrote your note to me, Daggero, but AdventureMan hollered it out to me from the next room and made me laugh. Funny – it made me feel so much better!
I just openned your blog, I hope that you are much better,
Take Care of yourself, was it the food? Do you want me to

Ooops, never mind what I just said to Daggero about feeling better (cough cough) *weakly* I think your coming to unpack my boxes is just the thing! LLLOOOLLL! Actually, I’m almost done except for the quilt room and the office, Wooo HOOOO and thanks to the prayers of strangers for my good health! You can come anytime, you can come today, tomorrow, anytime, and we will play! π AND drink wine! Wooo HOOOO! Oops! Did I sound too healthy? No, no, I think I am fading fast.
