Cursing Germs

I’m sick.

Save me your kind words of care if you had them, they would only be met with a certain distain or perhaps even a snort if I can muster the energy. Being sick takes away the few filters I have before I speak. There is no pause, or for some of you, backspacing before I unleash something quite evil.

Do you think I crawl in bed? No, in fact, it becomes a challenge to see how far I can push it before I collapse, or give up. Just how much can I take before I give in and pop a pill to reduce the fever, the headache, the chills, the ….whatever it is. Today it is a headache, the same one from yesterday, the day before - and a fever.

Sickness isn’t to be tolerated in myself. I still work, much to the chagrin of others at my office, I still exercise at 3 am in the morning, and I go out of my way to be cruel.

Rather like crossing the street to push down a girlscout, I seek and destroy. Punish you for my illness.

In the meantime, back off, I will certainly still bite.

Excellent. I’m coming over to make her cry.

I think I like it when you’re not well.

Although, I must admit a temptation to mother you about drinking liquids, getting sleep, and resting. It might be worth the annoyed look, just to see what sort of punishment you could devise whilst suffering a fever and head-ache.

Were I in N’s position, the temptation might just be too much.

Radial, it might be scary but the view is always beautiful. Plus, it’s so much better to look than to never know…

Oh, lord, people. You’re like the guy on the ledge when someone says don’t look down!

Guess the missing word?

Since the only thing that can cheer up a sadist is watching someone else suffer more than he…

Looks as though you’ll have a cranky sadist on your hands this weekend. Since the only thing that can cheer up a sadist is the watching suffer more than he, I took the liberty of compiling a list of movies which you may wish to procure for D, depending upon what ails him at the moment. I’m sure other readers can add to the list, but here are my recommendations:

For fever and body aches — The Devils directed by Ken Russell.

For toothache — Marathon Man

For indigestion — The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover

For severe abdominal pain — Mishima

For a cold accompanied by chills — A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

Well, that should do for a start. Hope this helps.

I was thinking the same thing, Yen, I was just scared to say it. *laugh*

For some reason this threat of cruelty, this warning, only makes me want to talk to you all the more.
