Things I am not good at

…include being ill.

I get bored. I don’t like sitting still. I get fed up watching TV or dinking on the internet all day. If I’m well and chose to spend a day dinking and relaxing on the internet, that’s fine. But if, like today, I’m required by my body to do so I’m gradually driven nuts.

I thought I was feeling better, so I stood up to have a shower, then decided as soon as I got in that nice warm water that actually, sitting down was more the thing.

One very rapid shower later and I’m back on the sofa.

Kindly friends have provided the last two episodes of The Americans and Elementary (both awesome). I’ve watched more MASH than you can shake a stick at and the original pink panther movie.

I didn’t at least sleep through much of today, which is what I did with yesterday.

And I ate lunch at lunch time and breakfast at breakfast time. Neither exactly went down well, but certainly they went down better’n yesterday’s food.

I’m off tomorrow anyhow (ill or no) so hopefully by the end of tomorrow I’ll be back on my feet, otherwise I’ll be driven screamingly insane I’m sure.
