Sick = resting on my butt...but only mostly

[threadwalker]

I am home sick... tummy-throat stuff. feh. Nothing has tasted right since yesterday and I spent all yesterday feeling like I had heartburn. Perhaps I was already getting sick. Symptoms: can't swallow, queasy tummy, nothing tastes right and throat raw all the way up to roof of mouth. Woe unto me... yah, whatever... who cares...

Nicholas has bronchitus, so he's home getting breathing treatments every 4 hrs. I'd rather be home sick alone so I could lay around in peace, but since he's sick, at least he's not bouncing off the walls too much. The new Fantastic 4 DVD is helping a lot, too. And, unknown to him, we are going out to lunch. But our first stop will be to pick up his school work so he can start that after lunch. I can't wait to hear, "Gee, thanks for turning off the cartoons and giving me some super-exciting homework to do, Mommy"... I will probably be waiting a LOOOOOONG time to hear that. lol.

I've been up since 5:30 and spent about 3 hrs working on the mural between getting kids ready and giving Nicholas breathing treatments. I think I've reached a new level of obsessive compulsive anal retentiveness. Or maybe it's the same old level coming out in a new art form. First - I SUCK at painting. I took art in college and I can do black and white fairly decently .. but color confuses my math-brain. I think there are too many variables and I can't "see" what I'm supposed to do. However, NOW the hull of Captain Hooks' ship has 3 layers of color ranging from medium brown to black and I carefully made the part of the ship below the water line a darker color since water would have aged it differently... and I spent a lot of time making it look textured like wood. It looks cool. It takes up most of the wall over the twin bed so it's a sizable project.

Farin gave the thumbs up along with a sanity check. This morning his words were, "That's cool. (me: preen) But I thought you said you were just going to slap some color up there and be done? (me: scowl) By the way, you don't look like a sick person." (me: glare)

My words, "Want a kiss? I can give you this if you really want it. And.. um... the ship looks better this way. I think Captain Hooks' ship deserves this attention. I'll cut back when I get to the London skyline." (It's a flying ship over London skyline)

And the dryer is humming along. I have a pile of laundry I might stir myself to do.. although as I sit here I'm starting to feel my "mural buzz" fade and my "must lay down to really seriously rest" impulse is becoming nagging. And I've upset the owie-shoulder.

which happy bunny are you?

congratulations. you are the kiss my ass happy bunny. You don't care about anyone or anything. You must be so proud

So far I count three folks sick from the event. I'm getting the feeling I should knock on wood. I felt terrible Sunday afternoon, but I blamed it on a stealth hangover.

Feel better soon!

[light-hands.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear you're sick! Get better soon!

As d_salie said...what mural?

[ermine-rat.livejournal.com]

at least you had fun getting sick!

[joycebre.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. Just bummed that I can't do the Happy Bunny quiz at work. Stupid proxy servers.

I once made the mistake of giving my wall-bouncer Benedryl for a stuffy nose. Oops. It sped him up, so not only was his sick, but he was ricocheting all over the house!

oh noes! the sickness spreads. I am just now, within the past hour or so, starting to feel better. I hope it doesn't last as long for you, feel better soon
