I hate being ill...

[elisi]

Not that I'm really ill, just... unwell. Darcy came home from work early yesterday feeling sick, and guess who felt the same this morning! *sigh* I very, very rarely get this stuff - I always carry on in excellent health looking after everyone! Anyway, Darcy was a wonder this morning! I got the children ready (more or less) including lunches etc. but then he took them to school/playgroup (which meant that he was late for work) and picked up Impish Girl at lunchtime! While I spent the entire morning in bed, asleep. ::loves husband::

Someone just delivered a largeish parcel - I wonder what he's bought this time?

Oh - and the marvelous s-i-l (that I'm sure I've mentioned before) is picking up Little Miss M from school! Which is especially wonderful since it's cold and raining. Thank God for family!

Feeling very lazy and lethargic - have done the absolute minimum of housework, just making sure that the floors are walkable on. Trying to remind myself, that I *have* done something recently: Finished my summer_of_spike fic the other day (8000 words - why can't I do short? ::bangs head on desk::) which now only needs a lot of editing and finally - finally - finished Chapter 14 of 'Maybe Someday'. Which will need even more editing. But at least it's there.

Last night was rather enjoyable though. There was nothing on TV, so Darcy said: "Let's watch a Buffy episode. One where she's naked a lot!" Which isn't really that easy a brief. So instead we watched 'First Date' which has to be one of my all time favourite episodes ("A bidet of evil!" - so many wonderful lines) and then, because it wasn't all that late and Darcy was feeling generous what with being ill and all, we also watched LMPTM since it's the episode that ties up all the stuff brought up in 'First Date' re. Spike and Wood. If I wasn't feeling so bad I'd try to write something interesting, as it is I'll just re-state my love for S7! All the Spuffiness made my little shippy heart very happy!

Must go spend some time with Impish Girl - or at least attempt to. Hugs to all of you - sorry to fill up your flist with my whining.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling poorly! ::makes you cocoa:: Is it runny nose sick? Upset tummy sick? Aches and fever sick?

And this is a dumb question, but isn't it summer where you live? What's with the crappy weather? ::is offended on your behalf::

PS Your whining filled up exactly one screen, and one line besides. Still well within the LJ legal limits for whines. Now come give me a hug.

Sorry to hear that you're feeling sick. I hope you're all better soon!

But yay for getting your summer_of_spike fic finished! I'm getting more and more worried that I won't have enough done by the time my posting date rolls around.

Feel better!

A few strategically chosen Buffy episodes will surely help. ;)

[kathyh]

Sorry you don't feel well. Hope you feel better soon and maybe you can pamper yourself with another Buffy episode tonight.

[molly_may]

I hope you feel better soon! Watching Spuffy episodes should cure all ills.;)

[elisi]

I'm 'achy tummy and feeling sick' sick. I'm OK when I'm lying down and even sorta alright when sitting (hence this post) - it's when I start walking about that things get really bad.

It's very much summer and we've had loads and loads of beautiful sunshine - this is the worst weather for weeks. But the rain is good for the garden!

::squishes you tightly:: How come you always make things better? (Chooses icon v. carefully!)

[elisi]

Thank you!

And 'finished' is such a relative term... it still needs a lot of work! I'm a teensy bit worried since we might be going away on my posting date and I'll have to swap - but we're only in the planning stages so far, so hopefully I'll be able to persuade Darcy that the 8th of August is not a good day for traveling! ;)

[elisi]

Thanks! :)

I'm sure they will - although I'm tempted by 'Romeo+Juliet' which we haven't watched for ages.

[cindergal.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon!

[elisi]

Pampering is the name of the game! And re. your last e-mail - you really should check out cousinjean's original novel. She's posting it in her (friends-only) 'novel' LJ, writer_ceej - go friend it and she'll friend you right back. She's only posted two chapters so far, but I'm completely hooked!

[elisi]

Thank you! And Spuffy makes everything better - thankfully! :)

[elisi]

Thank you! :)

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Take it easy.

[elisi]

Thanks. I am. Having relatives who live nearby is a blessing beyond words! (When they're as nice as my in-laws that is). Oh, and good luck with the interview!

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

:( So sorry you're not feeling well. ::hugs::

[elisi]

Thank you! ::hugs you back::

[elisi]

No problem.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Hope you are already feeling a little better, and that you are back to normal tomorrow!

Thought a viking icon might gladded your Faroese heart! Photo taken by my daughter on Sunday.

Feel better soon. This is been the strangest Summer weatherwise for everyone.
Remember, Spuffy will cure far more ills than aspirin. And it's so much prettier to look at.

[elisi]

Thank you for the good wishes. Still feeling pretty lousy, but considering that Darcy was better today I'm hoping for the best for tomorrow. And if I'm still poorly at least there will be more fic from you! :)

And yes - the icon made me smile! :D

[elisi]

Thank you! :)

Hee - that almost sounds like a motto!

[shapinglight]

Hope you feel better tomorrow.

[elisi]

Thank you.

Sorry you're poorly - get well soon, and I'm glad your knight in shining armour is doing his part! I've been writing some stuff about why LMPTM bugs me, and I'd love to hear your take on it when I put it on my LJ in a couple of days.

[elisi]

Thank you - and I don't know what I'd do without my knight.

Looking forward to your post - I've read a good deal of criticism of LMPTM (much of it very valid!) but it didn't detract from my enjoyment at all! Which was nice! :)

[marsterslady.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry you're sick.

I love your entries. :) I didn't see any of it as being at all whiny.

::steals Darcy::

[kathyh]

Thanks for the link. I shall trot over there forthwith. I'm quite gorged on Buffy fic this evening but she's such a good writer... Hope your nasty bug is going away now.

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better already, or very soon.

::hugs::

"A bidet of evil!" - and it is not just the words, it is the intonation that kills me. :)

[elisi]

I'm quite gorged on Buffy fic this evening
Heh. Two new WIPs at the same time! Mmmmm.

Feeling a bit better now. Thank God for lovely husbands.

[elisi]

I love your entries. :)
Really? Well, it's nice that my rambling isn't too bothersome. ;)

::steals Darcy::
Just you try...

[elisi]

Thank you - feeling less like I'm dying now... ::hugs you back::

Oh, the intonation... I might have to re-watch it!
