Yes, this damned illness continues to cling. I picked up some bug before the flight back from the USofA. Normally when I am getting illl my body “shuts down and reboots”, meaning I sleep for 20 or so hours, then get up and all is well. But I could not do that while on the trip, so I kept myself going with caffine and pain killers. Now I pay the price. This is not a completely debilitating illness, rather an annoying one that robs me of strength and wits, and lingers on and on and on.

It makes me grumpy.

Thankfully Tam had the wisdom this morning to make me sleep. My body happily said “okay!” and conked out for another 4 hours. I can only assume that is a good thing.

There is so much to do, both around the farm and writing-wise, that I will be very glad when I am fully recovered. This is probably the most lingering illness I have had in 5 to 10 years. Grump, grump.
