Bored

[ladyofastolat]

It's very boring to be too ill to actually do anything, but not so ill that you don't want to do things. I am also fed up with being reduced to languishing on the couch just before Christmas, when there are dinners with stuffing and sausages wrapped in bacon (aka two of my Best Things Ever) to be had. That's two years in a row that I've missed a Morris dancing boozy Christmas feast. Grump!

Oh, and is anyone else not getting LJ comment notifications? I've had none since, um... Tuesday, I think?

At least I can just about cope with rereading well-loved favourite books, as long as they don't get too challenging. Sadly, I've reread (or, rather, re-re-re-reread) most of my well-loved favourite non-demanding books in the 6 months or so (my favourite Georgette Heyers, Diana Wynne Joneses, Sherwood Smiths, Elizabeth Marie Popes, Hilary McKays, Jaclyn Moriartys and so on) so am doing quite a lot of standing swayingly while staring at shelves failing to find much inspiration.

Definitely not sound advice in my case, since I'm allergic to nuts. But what can you expect from one of those dastardly grey squirrels. We're very proud of our grey-free status here on the island. Some years ago, a local DJ almost lost his job (or maybe even did lose his job; I can't remember) for joking on air that he'd seen a grey squirrel, prompting the army, coastguard and emergency services to all be mobilised to look for it.

Hopefully I'll be off the couch soon. I've got an inner ear infection, causing the world to spin, and me to lurch around drunkenly and bump into door frames and cats. I even went to the doctor (very out of character behaviour for me) and he's ordered me to rest completely until it gets better in its own time, so hopefully it's own time will hurry up and come quickly.

Yes, can't trust those grey squirrels! You're so lucky not to have any on the island and still have a native red population! First wild red squirrel I ever saw was on holiday in the IOW as a child, in the woods at Robin Hill Country Park.

Ugh, ear infections are horrible. *more hugs*

Agh! See how ill I am? I can't even fight off the ravages of the rogue apostrophe!
