A Lesser kind of SICK.

Here is a list of things that were put off because I got sick:

Dishes
Housecleaning
Abbie's snowman project
Christmas card writing
Taiko
Everything else...

I have done a small amount of cooking, and a small amount of laundry, for which I deserve a reward, considering that I also haven't really slept or eaten since Sunday afternoon.  Today, since I've been able to get out of bed, I decided that I might as well dust and vacuum, and maybe start some Christmas cards.

Turns out I'm not quite that healthy yet.  But I'll get there.  We all know that I try to declare myself healthy prematurely.

I wish I had been keeping an actual list of the books I was reading this year.  I would like to see it.  The Canterville Ghost, Northanger Abbey, The Mysteries of Udolpho, In The Woods, Vilette, Green Tea and Other Ghost Stories, Her Fearful Symmetry, The Hound of the Baskervilles (plus the rest of the collected Sherlock Holmes works).  I know I read Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility and Emma this year.  Did I also read Jane Eyre this year?  Lets say not.  I did read Penrod, The Gibson Upright, Daddy Long Legs, Riki-Tiki-Tavi, lots of Agatha Christie novels, The Wind in the Willows, and Poor Richard's Almanac, but I can't remember if The Peach Keeper, Orchid House, and The Night Circus were this year or last....

Not reading anything this week.  You'd think that I'd be dying to, stuck in bed all the time, but I was too sick to read.  I was too sick to watch movies, too, until last night. 

Still looking for jobs, just in case you know of one.  No philosophy or solving the world's problems today.  I'm calling in sick.  Except, don't you think that it's funny that that scientists are under attack these days for manipulating genes that were already present in plants to help them grow in third world countries by the same people who would by complaining about world hunger if they didn't?  I find that ironic.

Also, this:

Take your vitamins.  There is more illness than what I've got going around.  I hear there has been an unusual amount of pneumonia, plus some wicked intestinal viruses.

p.s.  I still think it's funny that my spell check suggests I change Baskervilles to bisexuals.  Hee!
p.p.s.  Happy 12-12-12!!
