Thursday 13 #10

Well its not stellar writing but all things considered Im glad I got it down! I already linked up my usual suspects whose TTs are up.

Thirteen Random Musings From My Fever-Addled Mind this week 1. I really like C-Span. I don’t know if this is because of my illness or I just happened to find it during my illness. I don’t care. I like hearing the debates. When I am too tired to listen, I find their voices soothing. I like the classical music during the breaks. I like noting that some of our representatives are kind of hot. I like C-Span. 2. Im not that great of a problem solver. It took seven days for it to occur to me that towels might be helpful in reducing the copious amounts of sweat puddling in my bed. It took tripping over the empty pack and play between my bed and my bathroom several times a day every day since labor day to realize I should probably ask my husband to take it back down. 3. I think my taste buds are scrambled. Everything tastes over-peppered. Like ice cream. And special-k cereal. 4. Under the guise of being nurturing, Gill is extremely passive aggressive and somewhat sadistic when im sick. He was boiling my Theraflu in the microwave to the point that the glass could not cool to be touched and insisting I drink it within fifteen minutes. I read the directions to find, you only need to add hot water. Think he was being thorough? This is the same man who was sticking ice cubes through the necks of 64 oz bottles of gator-ade and leaving them by my bed. Oh there’s more. This could be a list of its own, but he is still taking care of me and reads my blog so I must wait til I heal. 5. nancy grace is the ann coulter of legal media. 6. Lunesta makes me very boring. It also apparently empowers me to just shut down conversations I find upsetting by just saying. Ok Im tired. I cant talk anymore. (I kind of like that part) 7. I know have been sick too long when I am developing a sense of pride in my ability to predict my fever cycles. 8. Im a little alarmed to realize that our family spends a lot less money when I am sick. 9. Being ill has done nothing to weaken my pathological need to control what is happening in the world of my job. 10. Im thinking about developing a study to explore the inverse correlation between intelligence levels and the acted upon desire to call into national talk shows to loudly and proudly declare one’s opinion. 11. When you are sick and at work, stay out of controversial conversations if possible. You may realize too late that it is a REALLY BAD IDEA to refer to a non-present supervisor as stupid when you are next to his office. (sorry Madame Fabu) 12. I could win a lot of money if I could somehow cash in on the predictability of Gill Smoke and Norm becoming embroiled in a screaming match within 15 minutes of me getting into my bed to go to sleep. 13. I have this bad feeling that if I god forbid did develop encephalitis and die, Gill would be crushed and devastated yes, but he would also find my mental decline really hilarious. (ok this feeling is based on the fact that he told me so). Links to other Thursday Thirteens! Did You Ever Get The Feeling?
