The early hours

March 23, 2008 by Jen

After three days of feeling like death warmed up I’m lying in bed trying to sleep and can’t, so I get up to get the red kidney beans soaking so we can have nachos for dinner tonight. This will be the one night that JJ doesn’t wake me up with his coughing, or he will as soon as I can finally get to sleep.

Anyway, it’s just after midnight, the beans are soaking, I’ll go and read yet a bit more of The Bonesetter’s Daughter before I try for the third time to get some sleep. How I wish I’d had the energy to put clean sheets on my bed today as I’m sure that would have made a huge difference, but it took me two days to put clean sheets on JJ’s bed – he’s had to make do.

When I finally do get to sleep tonight I hope my dreams aren’t as vivid and totally weird as they have been the last two nights.

    Soldier on! If you’re thinking about nachos then the end is in sight.

    (Of the disease, I mean, not your life…)

    Thinking of you and hoping each day brings a return to health!

    I got up this morning and eventually decided not to go to work and went to the doctor instead. Of course he said I’ve got some sort of virus. He gave me a certificate for today and tomorrow so I’m resting! Frogdancer – the nachos was great but I couldn’t eat it all. I reckon I’ve lost a couple of kilos over the last few days. Now – to keep it off!
