Creampuff is . . . Unwell

Oh my god, you guys. I am sick as a

I didn't want to believe it. At first, I was simply feeling a little dull and uninspired. Then I was a little scratchy throated and had a headache. I hit the ColdFX and hit it hard. I bought some anticipatory Dayquil - you know, just in case things went south. They did. They went south like an eager lover. I am now out of Dayquil. I just spent the last half hour lying on the bed thinking up country song titles that describe how I'm feeling.

I Feel Like Ten Kinds of Ass

If Only I Could Find The Cat That Shat In My Mouth

Thank the Good Lord for the Sweet Sweet Ice Maker in Our Fridge

Jesus, Take the Wheel and Head to the Drugstore For Me

If I Bring That Up One More Time We'll Have to Vote on It

I Feel Like Twelve Kinds of Ass, 'Cause I Thought of Two More

Oh Chicken Soup, I Wish I Could Taste You Tonight

My Woman Up and Left, Was It My Ricola Breath?

It's true - young Katr left this afternoon for a week-long biznass trip. On the one hand, I miss her tender love. On the other hand, we're not gay married yet and do I really want to let her know the extent of my potential for horkaciousness before we tie the knot? I don't think so either.

I hope you all have wonderful disease-free weekends. And I mean that. Me, I'm looking forward to some fine whine and possibly some easy knitting. Although on second thought, maybe just the whining. One more harsh sneeze while holding knitting needles and I might put out my eye.

**UPDATE** I can't believe I forgot to include "Noseminer's Daughter". Damn.

Well sister you are NOT alone in your horkaciousness...R brought it home but I didn't manage to dodge it myself...

And I can hardly tell the difference with meds...is it resistant or what??? And I had to haul my whiny ass in to work today after missing two already. And apparently I even look sick (do people think that they are being helpful when they point out how sick you look?)

[roro]

Sparkles - I hear you. How is "Heeeey - you look SICK" helpful? Shut up and get me some juice!! Hope you feel better soon!

[ers]

"Jesus take the wheel, and drive to the drugstore for me"??!?!?! FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ ALL WEEK. Oh Bose, I miss you. Feel better soon. xoxo

[Kristen]

Feel better soon! I have a sick spouse at the moment. I would rather be sick myself, more gets done around here. Thought I would add some whining of my own ;)

[kimananda]

You can become a connoisseur of fine whine. And then, get well soon! I'm sending virtual Dayquil your way.

[Aphra]

You poor poor thing.

I always deny that I'm getting sick until it's absolutely impossible to ignore. "I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, Bluurrrruuuurrggh."

[wenders]

Oh, Heavens!

I am also unwell, or well on my way. I was just walking through the kitchen and grabbed the counter since I though I was a little too dizzy to continue, and Sparky thought I was being all come-hither until she got close enough to let me know that I am radiating heat.

I would have hoped that she might have known something was off when she asked me what I was thinking earlier today and I gave her a spiel about how I might want to have a Winnebago in the yard if we ever shared property, since it could actually become my yarn studio and be called a Woolebago.

Any. I raise my glass of ginger ale to you. Maybe we both feel better soon. I don't know which is worse, being alone and ill or being ill on the weekend you promised to help your girlfriend move. Summer cold in a U-Haul. Rockin'.

And, my cold head obviously has led me to believe that this MY blog. So, over and out. Peace. Word.

[roro]

ers - I miss you toooooooooooo!! Sweet Berin.

kristen - So sorry Mark is sick! All are free to whine here.

kimananda - I'm feeling the virtual Dayquil. Thank you, my friend.

Aphra - I too believe in the power of denial. And hey, most of the time, denial and ColdFX get me through! Not this time, though. Bluuuuuuuuuuuuurggh indeed.

wenders - So sorry that you are sick too. Your comment made me laugh so hard I coughed a lot. Hope the move doesn't kill you. Can't wait to see the Woolabago.

[Flippy]

Since it's now tipped over into the 28th, I hope you're feeling better. I received a nasty bug from my nephews at our Mother's Day gathering. It started like tonsilitis or strep, but turned into Megadeath. All I wanted to do was sleep. Well, sleep AND feel sorry for myself. I'm beginning to master that, sadly.

I hope after Jesus took the wheel, he came back and did some laying of the hands to heal you.

"If I Bring That Up One More Time We'll Have to Vote on It"

noooooooooo! Why did I decide to eat my lunch whilst catching up on blogs. Yuk!

Hope you feel better soon. SBx

[HB]

God bedring! Feel better soon! I just watched "A Prairie Home Companion". If you want to see a feelgood (kind of) movie while on the mend, I recommend it!

[Melissa]

"Hey, you look sick" is a polite way of saying, "You are sick. You are going to make me sick. Get the fuck out of the office and back home because if I get sick, you actually die. From my hands. Around your neck".

Just so you know.

[Maggie]

So now's probably not the time you want to be reading "How To Speak Dog"...you don't want the dog telling you all the things he eats. You're sick enough.

Hope you're feeling better.

[Eli]

Ugh. Me too. At least I'm almost over it.

That's what I've been telling myself for the past three days, anyway.

And hey, Philip Pullman! Good stuff. (Thank you, Sean's Mom, for telling me I must read them.)

[Stales]

just came across your site... awesome stuff.. I hope you're feeling better!

[KnittingPainterWoman]

Poor baby. The trick to being sick is knowing what makes you feel better and conveying that to anyone who might otherwise be inclined to a)interfere b) disappear c)hover and be annoying. My MD actually found an antibiotic that helped clear up lung crud... but if you've got some digestive thing going, I'd stick with Vernors or Ginger Ale. Hope you feel better.

[Abi Jones]

Oh, ew. I hope you're feeling better soon. Though, perhaps you should just view this as a good excuse to stay indoors.

[The Viscount of Knockers]

Breathing that clean coastal air is asking for trouble - obviously you need some T.O. smog to smother them germs. Get Well Soon! (I stole that from a card.)

[lex]

I'm behind, or a behind I'm not sure, but in either case... I feel you. My inclination is show tunes when I'm sick. My favourite: I Feel Icky, Oh So Icky.

Feel better, (and your beaverance best not have brought that bug to MY house!!)

[roro]

Flippy - I hear you on the Megadeath. Except I couldn't sleep, 'cause I coughed uncontrollably every time I lay down. HOT. But now, five days later, I'm definitely on the mend. I'll give you and Jesus equal credit.

ScaryBez - I'm really sorry.

HB - Thanks for the tip! The only movie I watched while sick was Nell. Yeah, I don't know about that movie.

Melissa - I know.

Maggie - Hahahaaa! Yeah, tell me about it. No don't! Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg.

Eli - I'm startled too at how long it's lasted. Hope you're feeling better! And the Pullman was good stuff. I finished them last week and don't know what to do with myself.

Alicia - Thank you and welcome!! So glad my disgusting cold didn't put you off. I am indeed feeling better.

KnittingPainterWoman - Mmm. Lung crud. Delightful. It's true that communication is important when you're sick - even if that communication is "Hey. I love you and didn't mean to ugly-cough in your face."

Abi - Hahahaaaa! Oh, Abi. I AM.

Viscount - your plagiarism DISGUSTS ME.

Lex - If she DID bring that bug, it'll serve you right for getting "I Feel Icky" stuck in my head. P.S. Thanks for putting up my beaverancee! You guys are lovely.

[Jen]

Hopefully you're feeling better Roro- at least you can take comfort in the knowledge that there is a set of Denise Interchangeable Needles on their way home to you, with Katr. We enjoyed her company a lot, but sorry she wasn't there to do drugstore runs for ya.

[Lex]

Pleeeeeze, I can't stop composing I Feel Like Ten Kinds of Ass in my mind.

I feel like 10 kinds of ass, yes, 10 kinds of ass. I feel like 10 kinds of ass since you left me.
The first kind of ass is smelly, I lie here watching telly feeling that kind of ass.
Ooooh, I feel like 10 kinds of ass, yes, 10 kinds of ass since you left me.

Yup, it's ass.

[greymatters]

I hope you are on the mend, and feeling ass and not feeling like one or ten of 'em.

[roro]

Jen - very few things are keeping me going right now, but the new needles are one of them! Woooo!

Lex - damn you.

greymatters - Thanks for your kind wishes! I can't WAIT to feel ass, but not 'til Friday. Unless I feel my own . . .
