  • Sunday Musings


    I'm supposed to be "being good."  Tim and the boys have gone off to the mall to see a movie (I think they are planning to catch Spy Kids 3D so I'm almost glad I'm too sick to go.)  There are few things more dreary or repulsive than listening to a sick person talk about symptoms - so I won't do that.  But I will thank you very much for your prayers and your well-wishes as I'm in the process of recovery from what has turned out to be a medically interesting condition.  If only this were a reality show on TLC instead of my life, I'd be fascinated by all the chemistry and bacteriology I've been learning over the weekend. 


    I wonder what it is they envision that I'll be doing while they are gone.  I have a long list of things I'm supposed to NOT do.  I'm not supposed to do laundry, dishes, vacuum, or clean the bathroom.  (All of which need to be done and it's driving me crazy.)   I'm not supposed to be outside getting hot, or heaven forbid I should bend down to pull a weed.  We aren't even going to discuss the yard and how much I want it to be mowed.  No, I'm supposed to be "being good." 


    I've had enough of lying in bed during daylight hours to last me through until at least next month.  I don't want to watch tv.  (OH, and let me tell you there's a story there.  I've lost another battle over the television.  For the past four years we've had only the five or six local channels that can be picked up with a regular antenna.  As of last week, we now have over 100 channels because of this little dish ... )  I don't want to read.  I'm bored and restless, and I really, really want to vacuum. 


      I hate being sick

  • you'd better behave, missy.  i do NOT want to see you on TLC.

    you can't do chores and you're complaining?  you really are sick....!!!

  • guess I better get cracking on those (overdue) stories so there will be something you WANT to read, que no?

  • Isn't that an awful combination: sick, bored and restless? Hang in there. You're a trooper.

  • GUH!, restless it horrible.  I hope you find something that amuses you soon!!!! 

  • please take time and recooperate...we dont want you having a set back now do we??

    Sending you loads of hugs from me!!!!

  • Sorry about the sickies and the tv. HOpe you find something restful to do!!

  • Sadly, I too have moments where I'm so bored that I actually enjoy cleaning. That is just really scary for me.

    I hope you start feeling better. My prayers are with you. -Kate

  • every healing energy i have to send is directed towards you.

    hello, complete stranger in god.

  • I know how you feel. But I am sure you will be up and around real soon. .

    Take good care of yourself,

    Rich

  • Get well. Altho You are a Goddess- You are just a part the Universe and it is saying rest.

    Love and Light

  • just two things:

    1.  the fact that you want to vacuum suggests that you have an illness much greater than that for which you're being treated, and

    2.  nobody who takes on 14 hour labor is a coward or a wuss.

  • hmmm ... take care & rest ... having a health problem so challenging enough to be on dateline or 20/20 or tlc is not good ... so take care! aloha

  • LOL sounds like me... I can't just lay sick - something will bug me and I will have to get up and fix it and then something else... LOL  Just take care and heal quickly!!

  • I definitely can relate to hating to be sick... it's so hard to do "nothing" ... but sometimes being stuck in that situation gives us a chance to be still and listen, and hear things that we may have missed in the mayhem of everyday.  Get well soon! 

  • Feel better soon and be good. Your body really does need rest in order to heal!

  • I hope you are feeling much better soon!  You are in my thoughts!!

  • Oh... I'm so sorry you're ill.  I have just been mentally ill and that is bad enough!

  • Yeah, being sick sucks...especially when it's hot outside...when its cold out you can always go outside and even for a few minutes the brisk air feels good...but suck in some hot air when you dont feel well and it seems to make you feel worse... at least it does me...

    Hope you recover soon

  • I hope you start to feel better soon.  Being sick stinks.

  • Oh....I hate being sick too!!  I know the feeling...too sick to do anything...but not sick enough to die!  LOL..I am praying for a speedy recovery!!  Hugs...

  • Honey, you are either REALLY sick, or really, really weird.  You WANT to vaccuum.  Girl.  (runs away in horror, thinking to self:  she SLEPT in my house.  She has the bravery of a hero!!)

    I am so sorry you've been flattened by something so unusual.  A phone call coming up today, okay?  (you and Natasha both.  I feel so guilty I haven't called either of you!  )

  • Maybe by the time I post this you'll be well again.  Get some rest. Take care of yourself.

  • hope you feel better..

  • If you want to get up and do house work then I would say you are well on the road to recovery
    Yat being said. I do hope you are felling so much better now. Just enjoy yourself with fun things other than housework. Gardening or at least enjoying the garden could be good too. ( a weed or two would not hurt) (((HUGS)))
