I thought this cold/flu/whatever it is would be short lived. I was wrong. I’ve been mildly battling it for days and it finally came in for the kill. I’m miserable. Freezing, my skin hurts, my neck hurts, my head hurts, I have a sinus infection. My ears are threatening mutiny. My hands are shaking too much to knit (oh, the suffering).

I can’t lay in bed under my down comforter and electric blanket (I know, I’ll put it away when the weather warms up) because I need to watch Clark. So I’m wearing microwaved herbal packs around my neck and drinking chamomile tea. It would be pleasant under more favorable circumstances.

And I really am too sick to be taking pictures of teacups, but being unable to knit and unable to lay down, I have nothing else to do. Naptime, at the earliest, is in an hour. Hopefully, I can last that long.
