Hey there,
Wow, there is nothing really like being sick. Pushed to the brink of sanity it is only here where a person wonders if it actually all is worth it. This is the one time that a person can be completely narcissistic. Your only concern is you. Liberating as this may be there are those who don't see it that way. Namely your roommates. Although as far as Im concerned I don't understand why an exfoliating rub down is that out of common practice. I mean I'm sick, and I need some help. Obviously my pours aren't going to exfoliate themselves.
That all being said, I've always been a mind over matter sickness adherent. For better or for worse i try and out think the disease. After all if existence is perception, perhaps I can block out hemorrhoids goes the ethos. However, this current bout is testing the ardent nature of the philosophy. Rarely have I been this shook. It's difficult taking bedrock and making it bedpan. More difficult still to swallow (sorry for the gross-out) the bed-pan, but it seems every once in a while your personal foundations shift and it appears that I may be dangerously close to losing some philosophic footing. I guess i really should have bought those mental hiking boots and to think, before now i thought QVC was a scam...
To me being sick always underscores pretty deep thought, I mean what else have you to do? In fact , its almost like old hat at this point. I lay there, prostrate, wearing lipstick, wondering what I did to deserve the headache and the only thought that seems to run through up there is "what did I think about last time?" An interesting point Andrew. What did you think about last time? Was it something of note?, was it something tangible? Although the answer to both those questions is probably not, it still merits some consideration. I like to define intelligence as the capacity for abstract though, therefore, it's difficult for me to render one person stupid and one person smart seeing as how the abstraction for two people are inherently different. In fact from a third party perspective (which is how much SHOULD be analyzed it seems to me ) many things have been accomplished by people all across the intelligence spectrum not rendering any of the acheivements more important than any other one. In fact one might go as far to say as the propensity for simplistic abstract thought might produce a more benignly beneficial product. Although the pet rock took no stroke of genius it has less potential for evil than does cold fusion.
Befuddled logic yes, but it believe it was Yoda who said "try? think?....do or do not there is no try." Action is not a consequence of intelligence. Lobbying for greater social equity or more toilet paper in the dorm bathrooms requires no higher logic. Only action, and in some cases, higher logic would be bad. Emphasize the action and not the thought, the Henry David and not the not the Ralph Waldo. I mean Yoda lifted a fucking X-Wing out of the mud. Deal 'wit dat.
Back to being sick though, the first thing to go is your tolerance of anything other than the easiest possible way to do anything. Being as how you have minimal energy to expend in the first place to see or be made to, expend energy in a less than efficient manner can make one furious. "Just freaking pick a channel and stick with it," one might be heard to say.
Hostility is not a suit that I particularly wear well and knowing that I try and reconcile my noticeably shorter fuse with the fact that I am sick. No one really cares if you are or not, but you are and you must cope. Personal tests,outside of the timed variety, can prove to be difficult.
Well that about raps it up for me. As for advice for the day I guess recommending washing your hands frequently to avoid getting sick would be a bit preachy, but then you probably read Dear Abbie so your used to it. Wash those hands.
