Feeling slow

Am dealing with a cold---seems I'm the last to get it---and that in itself is pretty amazing. I rarely get sick (the mother's usual situation, to not catch what's going around), so it's odd to be all stuffed up and feeling in a muzzy haze.

I'm trying to just go with the flow. The house is getting a bit worn-looking with me neglecting it, but that's OK. It's almost restful to feel this way. My head's all stuffed up, I'm sneezing and dealing with a runny nose and my brain is on hold. Not a bad place to be. Keeps me from deep thinking, being that I can't seem to focus on one thing for very long.

I figure that sometimes illness is a way for us to recharge our batteries. It can be a blessing in disguise, sort of like shock treatment. If not for occasionally feeling under the weather, I'd work way too hard around here. This gives me a break and a real excuse to relax.

Off to sit and stare. That's about all I'm good for. ;)
