Sickness weighs heavy
body aches as if it is encased in cement
limbs do not want to move,
throat scratches,
eyes droop,
incision throbs,
skin shivers.
Every part of me weighed down
and longing to fall into sleep.

I’m definitely coming down with something! Yesterday I was falling asleep at 8 p.m. Tonight it wasn’t even 6 p.m. Good night!

It’s our lizard brains taking over. I find myself yawning and look at the clock and it’s 7:23. I can’t go to bed at 7:23. I’d be up by 4. Next weekend we fall back and it’ll be dark a little after 5. Maybe I’ll just give up and go to bed with the chickens. Feel better soon.
When we fall back, it’s dark when I drive home from school, before 5. 😦 I’m so chilled right now, I’m having difficulty concentrating on my monster essay.
I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Me, too! Thanks, David! I haven’t been to your blog in ages. I must get over there and catch up on your news!
Flu. Take care of you.
No nausea, thankfully. Just the general aching and exhaustion.
Rest well and heal quickly. X
Thank you!
And likewise, only the sleep bit is missing. Flu it is. Very beautifully written as always. Get well soonest.
Thank you.
Yep, fall push.. Hope you feel better in the morning. Know you will “do it” anyway… No time to find a sub! Yep, teacher:)
Lots of sleep and fluids this weekend!
