Fred? I will be late getting to the Yard today. Please let me know when you read this so I can ink it out. I am sick and Bell is threatening to tie me to the bed if I go to work, so I have to wait until he has------- [There's a streak of ink as the journal is taken away from him.]

Yanno, sick is like bein' injured. Ya gotta rest or you're gonna make it worse.

[spandexisyouth]

But at least when you are injured you did something! And then there is a risk of reopening wounds. You do not reopen something with sickness.

[redhead_rabbit]

Ya end up gettin' sick again instead. Ya don't seem like the type to wanna keep gettin' sick from the same thing over 'n over again, yeah?

[spandexisyouth]

I do not like being sick, no.

[redhead_rabbit]

Then be sure to get plenty of rest!

[spandexisyouth]

I will rest.

Is there a sign when I can stop resting?

[redhead_rabbit]

You'll start feelin' like your old self again.

[spandexisyouth]

I take it by start you do not mean the minute I start.

[redhead_rabbit]

Nope. Give it a day or two. You'll start feelin' better if you do rest and not overdo it.

[spandexisyouth]

One or two. I can do one or two.

[redhead_rabbit]

There ya go! ♥

[spandexisyouth]

Where? I am going nowhere if I am resting.

[redhead_rabbit]

That means [ pause and scribbles out the words. ]
Nevermind, just get some rest, yeah?

[spandexisyouth]

I will. I do not have any other options.

[redhead_rabbit]

Rest up then!

[spandexisyouth]

I will.
