Seasonal Incapacitation

OK, this is day nine of viral thing, and I have really had enough.

I'm ravenously hungry, as viral thing moved onto the gastric phase insistent diarrhoea 30 mins after eating anything, with attendant stomach pains and dehydration on Christmas Eve and I haven't eaten much since then. Just had large breakfast. Regretting it.

At least the cold / flu symptoms from the weekend (sinus pain, sneezing, breathing difficulties) have gone, yay! (Managed solsticial stumble with [livejournal.com profile] ladymoonray on Saturday: we picnicced in the fog. [livejournal.com profile] major_clanger took me to see a view and some llamas on Sunday: I sneezed on 'em.) And though I'm tired, I am not as utterly shattered as I was at the end of last week.

It's getting in the way of Christmas though. Had a lovely day mostly at [livejournal.com profile] ladymoonray's and at her mum's: presents! including the marvellous and gratifying restoration of much of my lost MP3 collection in the form of a new external drive onto which [livejournal.com profile] swisstone and [livejournal.com profile] ladymoonray had copied everything they'd copied from me: Voyage of the Damned, in which all named female characters (except the Queen) met a Fiery Martyrdom: Christmas dinner with all trimmings ...

Boxing Day (in Redhill) v. somnolent. We did go for a brief walk. Then off to Tonbridge via The Golden Compass (visually stunning, though v. chilly: rather superficial because so much plot was packed into two hours that there was little space for characterisation: insufficient Lord Asriel: Pan captivating). Then I came home and to bed, where I might stay until 2008. OK, very late 2007.

Glad to hear cold has gone, but sorry to learn that it has just migrated south... :-( Here's hoping for a quick recovery.

Oh, and I can take credit for the view, but the llamas were a complete surprise!

Aargh! I'm very sorry you're still suffering. Hopefully staying in bed for a couple of days will defeat it at last.

Argh! I'm so sorry you're still feeling crummy. ::hugs::

At least is sounds as though it's nearly worked its way through. As it were.
