Too sick to die.

[cadhla]

I am seriously too sick to die. Seriously. I've hit the stage of viral incubation where anything more strenuous than lying very still, occasionally breathing, and hitting 'play' to start the next episode of NCIS is just too damn much trouble to deal with. The cats are totally capitalizing on my condition, because the cats are bastards. I wound

I'm sorry you're feeling so ill.

Where is my horrible viral mutation? Where is my zombie apocalypse? Dammit, WHERE ARE MY BUBOES?!

If I'm too sick to go to the store for more DDP, I want buboes.

I will sulk now.

And what's worse? your name doesn't scan the same way "Michelle" does, so we can't even filk "Oh, Michelle" back at you. I guess we'll have to do something to "Pretty Little Dead Girl" or something....

It's the nasty-case-of-con-crud-after-Baycon blues.

(Of course, that's by no means a blues tune, but hey, I'm just That Fuzzy Man, you're the one with the statues. :)

I may be dead, but I'm still pretty.

Be careful what you wish for... :-)

Get well soon!

Hoping so!

I don't know, Seanan. The flu or the creeping crud might only be boring to you because you know what it is and that it's unlikely to be fatal. I mean, look at chicken pox: it breaks you out in spots, it itches, it's just plain miserable. As a disease goes, it ought to be "cool" or at least "interesting" by the standards you mention, but it's boring because we know what it is and that it will pass. Imagine a society where the Red Blotchy plague has been conquered, where its inevitable progress of turning your spit into a yellowish resin is known to be simply a sign that you're on the mend. That society might say, "Well, at least it's just the Blotchies. Gods help me, I was worried I was getting that terrifying, invisible thing that cuts off your airways with plugs of your own mucus! When will our doctors find a solution!?"

I hope you get well soon.
(And congrats on your agent! She's cool. (Yes, I have exchanged all of a handful of emails with her, and came to that conclusion. She's that cool.))

(Hee. Isn't she just plain awesome? She's really great to work with, and she's definitely cool.)

You can't blame me on this one, hon. I'm sweetness, light, and was mostly nowhere near you on Sunday and Monday.
Of course, I think, given your symptoms, it's perfectly fair for me to blame you for my ick...:)
Lemme know if you need a flyby.
