Short Like Your Mom

[rinue]

Whenever I get really sick, I have the creeping suspicion I'm actually faking. I imagine this hearkens to the old days of skipping school by "feeling bad" - that, or too many hypnotists in the family. In any case, it astounds me - I mean really floors me - any time I actually have a fever or, for example, vomit non-stop for 48 hours.


I sort of try and get silly about it to show everybody I'm just joking and all, kind of horsing around and being funny, but then it turns out that I am in fact in the bathroom again, or still, and the water isn't usually that color. I feel like a wuss, I really do. It's hard to persuade someone you control an army of pirate-ninjas when you can't confront red jello.

Incidentally, doing better now. First day in five out of bed - dressed even. Thirsty. Moving soon.

I attempted to call you tonight at 9:21 PST under the assumption that you might be well AND awake.
You appear to be neither.
I am sorry if I had disturbed you. We shall speak sooooooon.
soooooooooooon.

I am (or at least used to be) a complete hypochondriac, so the rare occasions when I'd get sick were perfect comedy genius moments. Especially the bits where I thought I was strong enough to answer the phone/have a bath/whatever and then people would come home to find me lying exhausted, naked, on the kitchen floor complaining that my legs wouldn't work.

::hugs:: Hope you get over the rhino incident soon enough. Oh, and move to Michigan.

Yarr. Perhaps you should cut some throats. The only good cutlass is a gory cutlass me old pappy used to say.

Yarrrrrrrr.
