Day four of the flu

[clevermanka]

I'm definitely on the upswing, but wow what a slog. I wore myself out this morning washing my hair. I mean I have a lot of hair, no doubt, but by the time I was done I was so weak and tired I was trembling. I couldn't even dry myself off right away. I had to wrap my wet self up in a towel and sit on the toilet to catch my breath for a few minutes. Then I almost fell over trying to put on my pajama bottoms because of a dizzy spell.

Afterward, once I was finally dry and dressed (which took a lot longer than you'd think, with several rests in between because putting on a sports bra is exhausting when one is perfectly healthy but fuck if I'm wearing an underwire while lying in bed most of the day), I ate my banana/strawberry smoothie (solid food is still not an option) on the god damn kitchen floor because I couldn't make it up the stairs yet.

This flu, you guys. What a nightmare.

I was thinking maybe I could do some low-energy stuff like make up a pair of commissioned bloomers today but HA HA HA HA HA HA NOPE. Looks like another day in bed with a book and the internet. I love my bed, don't get me wrong, but I'm looking forward to not spending 20 out of 24 hours a day in it.

Off to go see what Tumblr's got for me today.

Oh, bb. *hugs* Hope your upswing continues, and you can take as long as you need to get back on your feet.

The man picks the strangest roles and yet.

I wish I had something to offer other than sympathy.

Man. I'm terrified of people who come back to work sick so I totally get you wanting to be well first.

Here's a new twangy song to cheer you up! (If I'm forgetting that you don't like Dwight, I'm sorry)

Hear Dwight Yoakam's New Song 'Second Hand Heart' | Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-dwight-yoakams-serendipitous-second-hand-heart-20150204)
