I think I have a problem. It started about 3 weeks ago. Its serious, and might need medical intervention. Symptoms include, tired, unable to move, and pain in my legs.
I really thought I was fighting something off. The flu perhaps. After careful reflection it dawned on me, I am suffering from a bout of lazy. A serious case.
Add in all the junk I am eating and it's no wonder I sit here itching from head to toe, and unable to move my right leg. Sort of reminds me of this poem...
Sick.
by: Shel Silverstein
"I cannot go to school today," Said little Peggy Ann McKay. "I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I've counted sixteen chicken pox And there's one more--that's seventeen, And don't you think my face looks green? My leg is cut--my eyes are blue-- It might be instamatic flu. I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I'm sure that my left leg is broke-- My hip hurts when I move my chin, My belly button's caving in, My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained, My 'pendix pains each time it rains. My nose is cold, my toes are numb. I have a sliver in my thumb. My neck is stiff, my voice is weak, I hardly whisper when I speak. My tongue is filling up my mouth, I think my hair is falling out. My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight, My temperature is one-o-eight. My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear, There is a hole inside my ear. I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what? What's that? What's that you say? You say today is. . .Saturday? G'bye, I'm going out to play!" | |
Makes me wonder if my 10 year old self knew something even then...
I think tomorrow it might be time to hit the gym.. That is if I'm not sick!

How was the visit with your mother? Did she actually get there on time and stay for the full two weeks?
Was she suitably impressed with the incredible job you and Ian are doing raising four well-balanced children on the other side of the world?
I'm suffering from a case of the lazies too. Today was the first day I got out of the house since before Christmas. The sunlight actually hurt my eyes!
