kinder surprise
April 19th, 2005
I’m feeling a bit under the weather just now. A cold seems to have taken hold which has left me not feeling up to much. I find it difficult not to panic when I feel ill - I’m always scared I’m having a downturn that will go on for months. On the bright side though, feeling this grotty does make me realise that I’ve actually been feeling pretty well for the last few months. Hopefully I will again soon, once this bug has passed over.
In the meantime I’m reading through the pile of books I bought in Hay on Saturday, drinking tea (of course), indulging in hot buttered toast (some honey would be nice too), and amusing myself by scribbling the figures that came in my pile of Kinder Surprise eggs kindly donated by N at Easter. They were bloody hard to put together, but maybe that was just my foggy brain…

Hmm… I think I’ve got what you’ve got! Hot tea and honeyed toast has definitely been my mainstay the past few days. I’m sure it’ll blow over for both of us in a few days. This has happened before and it was just a normal bug thing. In fact, I’ve heard that’s a good thing when people with CFS/ME get a normal cold-type thing as it shows that their immune system wasn’t constantly fighting–that it was just being normal and then got a bug and so now you’re sick–just like normal people can be!

Ha ha ha! Your difficult-to-put-together Kinder prizes amused me. Where’s a child when you need one for things like that?
In all seriousness though, hope you get well soon. I’m going to run home to put together some hot tea and honeyed toast - you made it sound so good!
