Getting better

I’m afraid today’s post is not riveting. I’m merely — finally — getting over whatever this was.

I hate this sort of illness that is an undefined… malaise. Give me something that I can point to and say “this is flu” or “this is an ear infection.”

This was more generalized malaise with hints of stomach flu. (This is very hard to diagnose in me at any rate, since the weird design of my stomach prevents the most obvious of symptoms.) Tiredness, so I could barely do anything and certainly didn’t want to was the most evident symptom, but it went well beyond the “well it was a tough weekend” type of tiredness. More like that pathological state where they tell you the house is on fire and you don’t muster the strength to get up.

Halfway through the morning, I realized yeah, I was ill when I saw myself in the mirror. Let’s just say that I know what I’ll look like at ninety.

I am feeling better now. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be myself.
