It's finally landed on me. The gunk that has been making the rounds through my staff and co-workers. Pounding head, aching sinuses, and a very upset stomach tossed in for good measure. I felt like a shmuck calling in sick today, but I could barely stay upright long enough for my shower. I knew it would be ridiculous to think that I could accomplish anything at work. In one of my favourite series of novels the characters refer to it as 'the crud'.
On a completely different note, American Idol is driving me nuts. They are all grating on me tonight. Maybe it's the headache, but really they need to stop.
Maybe this crud explains my foul mood the last couple of days.
Maybe.
Maybe I'm just a grouch.
PS - It's STILL snowing!
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
It's nice to know that if I'm ever feeling down and I just can't see the good in anything, I can always flip the internet open to your blog, and find myself heartened, couraged, and illusioned.

ReplyDeleteYuk - I hope you feel better soon. I'm hoping to avoid the bug myself - everyone here at work is sick too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog - yeah I'm sure your system isn't perfect either but, ours REALLY sucks! :-)
Hope you feel better soon. We've been dealing with the crud around here and it is NOT fun.
