Gurl, you burnin' up, burnin' up like ~fiyah~!


No but seriously, the previous three nights I layed on this very couch with a fever of no less than 100.1 degrees. Of course the first day is a great relief especially when its a monday and you are suddenly presented with a much needed three day version of a weekend. So I spent the first day lounging around in my wonderfully huge flannel pajama pants and an old as hell christmas sweater, which I am beyond amazed still fits me. I cannot even lie to you, I ritualistically watch Regis and Kelly and The View each and every time I'm sick, maybe its all of the drugs I'm on but they are freaking hilarious. By noon I amble out to the kitchen, but not before slipping on my glorious lady bug slippers to heat up one of those good old campbells condensed soups that can only be delicious when sickness has numbed your taste buds. I remember being particularly excited when I stumbled upon a criminal minds rerun on at 1, growing incresingly more delerious when I realized it was one I had yet to see. As any sick day should end, I closed the afternoon by falling asleep to the ever so trashy but ~honest~ lifetime movie channel. Seeing as I had a fever all day Monday, I expected to spend Tuesday at home again but I remained confident that I would make by big recovery by wednesday. Wrong. Wednesday rolls around and I'm still impaired to the point that I can't go up and down the stairs without my body retaliating with a massive headache. Great. Another day at home. By 2:00 Wednesday I have no more fever and I feel like maybe a celebratory jig is appropriate; but I stop myself when my natual klutz comes out and I manage to tangle myself in this laptop chord causing me to hit the floor before even fully standing up. Cute and quirky or dumb as hell? The World may never know.

To make a long story short, wednesday night my fever came out of hiding forcing me to stay home again TODAY. I don't think I have ever spent so many days in a row at home only taking one trip outside...to shovel. Luckily it is now...9:25 pm and I am at a cool and collected 97.3 degrees! PRAISE JAYZUS.

Dear make-up work,
Please treat me kindly.
Love,
Shannon
