poorly

Been hiding out here at my mum's place feeling poorly.
Initially it was just sniffing, then throbbing brain, fever,
coughing, aching. The ludicrous amount of snot involved
is scary... There are massive piles of tissues.

(pause here to read my man's attempt to inflame my passions
with the judicious use of text....oh poor thing...
inviting love cavity? darling please, no...)

I've been eating in almost equal measures, ginger, lemon, vitamin c,
paracetamol, chili, codeine, garlic and porridge. I'm not entirely
certain that it's a plan I should patent, but I've stopped getting worse
and may been be getting better.

It's beginning to be quite isolating out here, makes me a bit sad how
few people contact me in the course of the week.
