Back in the wars

[hnpcc]

I've been home sick all day.



It started yesterday, with the strange feeling that usually heralds the onset of cramps. I managed to mostly stave them off during the working day, but by 7pm they were so bad I actually paid the money to use CityLink and get home faster. I spent all of last evening crashed on the couch, with occasional mad dashes to the loo.

At 10pm I realised I could no longer stand up and fell into bed.

Some time this morning (I think 1amish) I began the cycle of cramps, sweating, dash to loo, back to bed. This has continued for most of the day. I looked so bad this morning that Dean actually took a flex day to look after me. I wasn't actually as bad as I looked (I think) but it was a nice gesture. And he cleaned the bumper marks off the car.

On the up side I have managed to finally see Spinal Tap (with frequent loo breaks) and almost finish my cross-stitch Christmas Angel decoration. I have never managed to finish a cross-stitch anything before in my life, so I'm pretty chuffed.

Now if my tummy would just decide that it's happy and leave me alone all would be well. And we so need softer toilet paper for these occasions.. *sigh*

poor you :-( Sympathy flying your way...and the usual advice...lots of water, ginger and if you're doubled over with cramps that feel better with pressure there's a homeopathic remedy called 'arg.nit' [which I think stands for argent nitriculum??] that works wonders fer me when I'm like that, if you give it a go, get it in a 30 potency [or rather get someone else to get it for you]
sorry, illness brings out the voice of experience in me and I tend to start wittering advice! Hope you feel better soon.

I trust you're feeling better now? I hope so as whatever it was didn't sound the slightest bit of fun. Watching Spinal Tao does sound like a rather extreme cure though. Imagine being confronted with all those armadillos in satin when you have a dodgy tummy! And lyrics like the following:

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitchfork
And poking your hay

I feel a bit weak thinking about it now and I'm perfectly healthy.

On the other hand you can drop in and out of it without losing the flow of the film too much.

And my fave bit would still have to be 'Stonehenge'.

Feeling better although not 100% today, fortunately.

Now I'm just staggering around like a newborn foal trying to work out what my legs do, not having done much other than dash up the hallway for the past 2 days.

Soccer tonight's going to be.. interesting.

This is a good point, it's not as though narritive flow is critical.

The whole damn mockumentary is worth it for the Stonehenge sequence. It encapulates everything which can possibly go wrong with an elaborate show. Actually every time I watched some bit of the Osbornes my mind kept going back to Stonehenge.
