being sick always brings any plans i have to a screeching halt.

all my creative projects get sidelined because i just can’t THINK when i feel like this. the symptom i always end up being most intrigued by (and when you’re sick there’s little else to do besides think about your symptoms, right?) is the way my skin feels.

i don’t have the strongest sense of ‘connectedness’ to my body on the best of days and being sick just heightens that sense. except for my skin. it feels weird. kinda numb, kinda sensitive, most definitely ‘fuzzy’. it’s always the most major sign that yes i am most definitely under the grip of some virus.

yes, i’m taking vitamins. yes, i’m drinking plenty of fluids. yes, i’ve broken down and taken some generic dayquil stuff. the latter only emphasises my lack of ability to think. so i’m kinda just sitting here at work, doing stuff as it comes across my path, but unable to be productive in any other way.

it stinks and makes me cranky.
