48 Hours

This was some Memorial Day weekend. The weather was cloudy and grey in contrast to what are normally hot sunny days for this time of year. We even had some showers! Didn't matter much to me however. I was laid up in bed from 6:00am Sunday morning until early Tuesday morning. My stomach churned, I was cold, I was hot, my body ached. Thoughts and dreams that went through my head made very little sense... well, less so than usual anyway. The Sunday and Monday newspapers sat unread. I made sure to feed and water my boys, and quenched my thirst since I was quite parched presumably through breathing through my mouth. Monday afternoon I tried getting up and watching a bit of tele, thinking that my soreness is from too much time lying in bed; that didn't last long, as I crawled back under my covers. TV kinda sucked.

Called in sick to work today for recuperation and cleanup. Lost a few pounds from my involuntary fast, but I'm beginning to feel a bit hungry. My lovely boys sat by me through all this; so glad to have them around.
