lurgy

Am sick :(

This is not good, but as it only seems to be affecting my digestive system, it means that I can still think, and therefore, write and read (and surf).

I'm considering taking out a subscription to Interzone magazine. (and maybe black static too). I can't afford it, but when has that ever stopped me.

poor thing! :-(

Get yerself comfy, construct a mighty hot toddy, dial up some neilhimself on last.fm, and perhaps the muse will pay you a visit & pour some good ol' lurgy melancholia into your WIP for ya....

Is it a kinda tummy lurginess that hits the bowels hard enough to worry, but not enough to prevent movement more than 6 feet from a loo? If it is, I'm on the same bug and have been for 2 days. It is getting worse. More to be posted on my own bit of LJ soon.

Sounds similar. I woke up yesterday wanting to throw up, and probably would have if I'd eaten anything during the proceeding couple of hours. Then yesterday afternoon the bowels got involved.

Now it's stomach cramps too. Lovely. Oh, and I can't seem to get warm.

Am curled up in bed with a hot water bottle against my stomach which seems to be helping the pain.

The worst thing is being hungry though. I can't eat because I'll just throw it up and make the cramps worse, but I still want to. Am managing to drink plenty though, so no danger of dehydration yet.

There's two other people at work who also have it.

I hope you start to feel better soon.

"dial up some neilhimself on last.fm"

I might do that actually. It's only going to be on there for another couple of days isn't it?

And Vlad seems to be quite happy with me at the moment, for some reason. Maybe he's taking pity on me. :)
