I've been sick with a bad cold for five days now. It's getting better, but I'm still congested, still on the edge of feverish, and still on cold meds and keeping the kleenex by my side. My mental capacity is significantly impaired, so I've been doing a lot of light reading. (I'm devouring The Percheron Saga, by Fiona McIntosh -- although why anyone would name their fantasy country after a breed of draft horse is beyond me!)
What's been the most frustrating (besides burning up more sick leave than I want to) is that the combination of fatigue, head cold, and cold meds have made it pretty much impossible to do any of my routine spiritual practices. . . and I'm feeling kind of bereft.
The only thing I've been able to do is light my Ereshkigal candle in the evening and pray for a while.
I tried to do more last night -- and while it started out well, I ended up getting nauseus. Memo to self: don't push it.
I'm also way behind on LJ, especially on any posts that require any actual mental concentration to appreciate.
If anyone would like to offer prayers, or send healing energy, or do something else to help someone who's ill, my immune system and I would really appreciate the assistance!
