Finally feeling better ^_^
There is no better feeling than waking up after a day where you have felt incredibly ill and have been fighting with an ever increasing temperature, and touch your forehead and it is nice and cool and realize that not only is your stomach nice and calm, but it is also demanding food ^_^ Go stomach! So, yes. Yesterday was horrible as my illness took a turn for the worse rather unexpectedly (I personally thought that I was recovering :-S) Now I am much better though - just left with a sore throat and my voice still sounds slightly funny. I am still planning to take things easy today, just to make sure that this doesn't happen again. I will go shopping though and stock up on juice and lemons, so I can keep my vitamin levels where they are meant to be. Also I think that I am going to scratch all the complicated recipes I wanted to do and just plunder my Wok cookbook for something full of fresh veg and easy. I really do need "easy Japanese recipes". My normal "easy" cookbooks, don't do the trick, as they imply having a European supermarket somewhere about and all my Asian cookbooks are full of wondrous dishes which take ages to cook. Chances are that once you have done them a couple of times, they stop being difficult (the same way that I cut my bento box cooking down from an hour and a half to about 45 minutes) and won't take that long. I don't know...
Before my temperature spiked though and I was glad that I made it to bed (poor Garry was really worried :-( ), I did a bit of drawing in the intervals of coughing and feeling sick. I am quite pleased with the result. I changed the colour scheme of my catlady and gave her dragon wings in honour of Tom's nickname for me (he is convinced that I turn into a dragon when I get angry). She still needs a tail though and without a decent scanner I don't really want to upload any pictures, as the ones I took for Garry yesterday with my camera completely messed up the colours and made everything seem grey on grey :-( I am tempted to open an account on furaffinity, just because I seem to have so many artists from there on my favourite list by now, but at the same time feel slightly weirded out by the concept, because a lot of the people on there are actually furries. I don't object to that in the least, it is just a case that I am not. A bit like a straight person signing up for a gay side I guess *lol* But then two of the artists I keep an eye on distinctly state that they are actually not furries either, they just like the way the art looks (like me) and then a far bigger part of me is asking why the hell this is actually an issue... *lol* Anyway, as you can see, I am much better - even my slight emoness from yesterday has disappeared after Garry took care of me over the phone yesterday rather lovely.
Oh... Someone in one of the neighbouring apartments is cooking something that smells REALLY nice *purrrrrrrrrrs* I think I need to get up now to wash up and then make some food - and go through my Wok cookbook (I love going through cookbooks *happy*)
I'll give you my points tomorrow - mainly as I was actually so ill yesterday that I don't see the point in depressing myself with how little I got done. I managed to get better, so I think I deserve a 20/20 anyway :-P
