Random thoughts on being slightly sick

[taylweaver]

So I have a cold. It began on Sunday with a throat thing, and the throat thing is finally starting to go away, but it has since moved into my nose. Of course.

Anyway, I realized that it is rather ironic that while my body needs more sleep when I am sick, it seems I am more likely to wake up in the middle of the night and thus not get said sleep. Of course, it would also help, I suppose, to go to bed a bit earlier... (silly taxes... but at least they are getting done.)

I also don't know how many of you have an internal voice - i.e. "hear" yourself thinking inside your head in your own voice - but I do. And I am finding it somewhat strange that my mental voice is sounding about as hoarse as my actual voice. So when I hear myself think, I sound as sick as when I speak.

At least my mental voice is not slowed down by coughing fits. That's gotta count for something...

Incidentally- I have some frozen chicken soup over here (homemade). If you decide you want/need any, just let me know.

Thank you for the offer, but I think I am already on the mend. Now, had I known you had chicken soup back on Sunday night, that would have been a different story.

Sorry I didn't hear about this earlier. Feel better!

Most of us just don't let our inner voices out to play that often :P


Feel better!

(BTW- what's going on for shabbos? you around?)
