sick day

I've been sick all day today, zonked-out can't even read sick, so I didn't go anywhere or do anything. I probably left my bed about three times.

I had forgotten how unpleasant the flu is when you're hot.

So while I can say I spent most of the day with my eyes closed, the few times they were open, I saw either this:


Or this:


Which I guess makes me more fortunate than many. Still, a nice view almost makes it worse for being stuck inside. I honestly would rather have gone to work, being that I have plenty to do. It's pretty much a certainty, though, that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything.

It was nice to get a visit from Jala earlier in the evening. It felt very Victorian to be receiving guests in my sick bed.
