these days

[avad]

staying in pjs,with tissues, garlic, OJ, vitamin C, soup,tea,lots of sleep. Letting sickness go through and GO.
reading bits of books off my shelf. reading aloud in spanish. reading science articles aloud in fake BBC accents that feel more natural than my own. internet hours. google image searches til my eyes blur.from the excuseable (neurons) to the outright silly (rainbow brite and pink sparkly things).
B-love.:)
non-productivity guilt.
but soon, I hope, I will be back in the swing of things...
and back in the studio.

Downtime is productive. It helps refill the well of inspiration/motivation.

Argh, I know the feeling - the cold and the non-productivity guilt! But I agree with hopeevey: I bet you'll be better for the time out.

Ooh, echinacea is excellent if you have a chance to get hold of some. I am an experienced cold-sufferer and I know these things. *grin*

Hope you're feeling better soon,

Elly

thanks, hon.:)
Unfortunately the one time I took echinacea I had a severe not-pleasant reaction, throwing up and diarrhea-it's of course possible that it wasn't the echinacea but I don't want to chance going through it again- so I don't take it. I may just be allergic to it.*sigh*
But not to worry, I'm feeling a lot better today.I think the rest has been very good.:)

Much warmth and good feelings your way. You make being sick sound pretty enjoyable. If we don't rest our bodies make us.

Take care & eat some extra garlic for me! ;)

you know, I've been thinking about it- after the artshow I just felt drained and I felt I needed recup time...but then I felt I was being lazy...and then...well, there ya go. sick. I think I am just going to flow with my general feelings. Luckily I have that option to really listen to my body...I didn't have to run around for any reason, so I just took it easy and let myself heal. Much better, thanks. *chews on garlic and winks*

space-trooping... it's a hard life, but someone's gotta do it.

have you installed the zsplasm-card into the bottom of your blaster? if that doesn't work, i think i heard something about a manufacturer's recall.

hmmm, no, this one says 'xsplatablaster' on the card, did yours come with two cards?
oh well, it scared the germs away anyhow.:)
