Deathhhh....
I feel like Death. We're entering Day 4 of Lydia vs. the Flu, and the Flu seems to be winning. I can't sleep well, random parts of my body ache, my sinus cavities should be cordoned off as a disaster area, and I've developed the annoying petulant tone of the invalid ("Ooooh..My water is all gone. Ooooohhh, my hands ache. Ohhhhhh, I feel bad.").
I spent all day yesterday lying down and reading or watching tv. And yet I feel only marginally (VERY marginally) better today. If I don't feel significantly better tomorrow I'll have to go to a clinic so they can tell me to have beddrest (and hopefully reassure me that I don't have some really deathly non-flu disease).
Watching "Dead Like Me" is, ironically, my only real joy right now.

Ooh, poor bento-chan. I was wondering what the radio-silence was about. I'm sorry that I can't be there to supply water, fluff pillows and blend mango smoothies. :(

aw, thanks. and don't worry about not being here to help -- since water tastes funny right now, I've been enjoying your lemon-molasses water quite a bit.
(and listening to your inside-my-head-voice by not going to classes. gasp!)

I've also discovered that adding a bit of ginger (ground or minced) a) makes it taste kinda like weak gingerale and b) is v. good for nausea (since it's like flat watery gingerale). Plus ginger is full of essential vitamins (pronounced vhit-a-mins).

my deepest sympathies, and also, assurances that the other side of the tunnel is beautiful. I just hit my turnaround point in health yesterday.
