Midnight Pub


the wretchedness of being sick


~tetris


Tears of the feeble
Throats of the frayed
Skin of the fevered
Mouths of the flayed
Building a folly
So high in the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down
Don't ask me why

My SO had flu last week, and for some reason I thought - as I think every year (barring Corona) - that I'm somehow stronger or more immune to it. I wasn't keeping my distance from her, sharing the same food she'd dipped her spoon in, and in general acting like I was an untouchable god.


Well well well, how the tables have turned. My throat feels like a cheese grater. It looks like I won't be going anywhere today.


Worst part is that our work group was planning to go on a christmas market outing this week, which I was looking forward to. Plus there's the christmas party next week.


Oh I hate being sick. Mumble, grumble.
