dear viruses i hate you

[kalmn]

i have a cold. there is stress and anguish and drama to various greater and lesser degrees going on in not one, not two, but three different of my social circles. i currently cannot write an sql query without having it throw up on my syntax three times before i correct it enough so it will run, and i can't write a coherent and clear email unless i spend half an hour on it and rewrite it four times which is doable in many cases but sometimes a person likes dashing off notes to friends and not having them come back with a perfectly valid point that i seem to have forgotten my brain at home that morning. also, i want to do things that i have promised myself that i won't do, but my usual distraction methods take more brains than i currently have.

and last but not least i have a cold and there is not a line of people bringing soup and warm blankets to my house. waa waa waa waa. the juggler did bring me diet coke, though, which is a goodness.

Important - cover the keyboard BEFORE throwing the soup at the monitor.

Ready? It's a genuine chicken stock, with rice noodles and chicken and cilantro and sesame oil (you can adjust the chili oil to your nasal congestion):

Go away, viruses! You are ugly and your protein coat dresses you funny!

I hate that level of being sick where my brain's not working but I'm not so sick that I can just lie in bed and let my brain not work. Hope you feel better soon.

Seems likely that somewhere not too far from your house is a Chinese restaurant that delivers, and has soup. Hot and sour is good for frightening viruses, egg drop is soothing. Just a thought. Also, ignore your troublesome social circles, and curl up with a Discworld book (or preferred comfort reading of your choice).

Ooh, I like this. I might do it even though I'm not sick!

[elizabethth.livejournal.com]

Think of it as honing your self-care skills, so you'll be better prepared in case of an actual illness. ;D

I'm having a similarly slow-brained phase of life. Also writing SQL queries and forgetting small details. I hope that for you it is only tied to the cold and goes away soon.

May soup have the healing power for you!

Hope you're in bed and asleep by now. Sweet dreams.
