Let’s see… muscle aches? Yup.
Runny nose? Ya huu.
Headache? You betcha.
Sore throat? Quite.
Heavy fatigue? Zzzz… uh, wha?
Flop sweat making me feel vaguely glazed? You bet your honey dipped ass.
General half dead feeling of swampy malaise? Oh lord yes.
It’s official : that flu I had last week is back.
Yaaay. Did not miss it.
And like last time, it snuck up on me while I was taking an early afternoon nap. Felt reasonably okay when I lay down to sleep.
Woke up feeling like used shit.
Is this the same bug? Feels like it. Symptoms match. Kind of scary to imagine it lying dormant for a week then attacking again though.
Hopefully, the Gabapentin and naproxen I just took will kick the symptoms’ ass again \.
Because this shit is harsh, man.
At least now I know why I have been so dang tired for a while now.
In fact, I wish I could go back to bed right now. My head and my limbs both feel quite heavy and I long to surrender to gravity and get some more sleep.
But I have promises to keep
And 58 words to go before I sleep
So I guess I will have to muddle through
After all, I always do.
Can’t imagine I will order in tonight, like I had planned to do.
Now is not the time to be making the perilous journey from this computer to the apartment door and back.
Not when I feel like I feel right now.
More after the break.
My wander lust
See, the thing about my penis is that….nah, just kidding!
This is not going to be one of my discomforting screeds where I go into serious TMI mode and give a detailed account of just how “lonely” I am.
Though one of those may be coming soon.
I’m so lonely I could pole vault.
No, tonight I am going to talk about my deeply suppressed and rarely expressed desire to wander the world in search of the things I treasure the most : good conversation, se situations, and above all else, good vibrations.
Vibes are real, folks, at least to an empathic spoge like me, and I would go damned near anywhere for those happy, wholesome, hearty life-affirming vibrations.
Heck, I might even hang out with dull, repressed, tiny minded people I would normally assiduously avoid like a pleasant but annoying cousin at a family reunion.
If the vibe is good, I’m good.
I call them vibes because that gets the idea across in the vernacular, butbI don’t think they are some kind of mystical harmonies on the astral plane or any of that kind of New Age bullcrap suitable for those with minds so open you can hear the wind if yoi press your ear against theirs.
My best bet is that it’s pheromones . They affect us both powerfully and unconsciously and so it would make sense if one of their jobs was to help us dancing monkeys know what is going on emotionally around us.
All I know is I think a good long stay somewhere with excellent vibes would do me one hell of a lot of good.
Anyone got any recommendations?
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
