I'm home sick today and it's frustrating. I don't like to be sick and I'm not often available to the assuage of viruses and what-not, in fact I'm extremely surprised that my pre-dominantly vegetarian diet did not save me from the onslaught, but I was hanging with my husband's family last weekend and in came a sick baby... I was like, "No big deal" In my head I thought that, and then another part of my head thought, "Wanna bet..." So, I had a feeling I was in for it...
Isn't that funny how a mind can say so many different things and think so many thoughts? And we call it "mind." Singular. And really, we are ascribed to pay heed too many minds most of the time. All in one head. Who knows what to believe? We are damned lucky most of the time we are not walking out into oncoming traffic or into light poles.
Anyhow, I'm not working and I'm home. I had to cancel an important appointment this afternoon and sit here in front of my laptop in my wifebeater and underwear trying to remember what I wanted to write down on the blog and I'll be goddammed if I can remember...

I hope you are back in perfect health very soon, Karen.
I used to hate coming down with viruses too, until I read the Tao of Immunology. It changed my way of thinking about pesky minor illnesses. The author's theory is that they help to keep the immune system running at peak performance so that the body is protected from more serious illnesses.
Oh I like that idea, and it really makes sense. Thanks for letting me know that.
Also, this is strange, but I was lightly complaining to my husband the other day how much I needed to be away from things, I was craving solitude and quiet naps. And all day I've had that.
Well, it may be a cliche, but that doesn't mean that it's not true: we may not always get what we want, but we get what we need often enough. And sometimes what we need is not what we want, but we get it anyway.
There's a storm brewing here; not what I expected either, but it's good to be outside in the cool wind for a while. Get well soon, Karen.
Meh. :( Hope you're feeling better soon... In time for a walk next week?
