Fevered Genius

Thursday and Friday of last week I stayed home from work with a low-grade fever and sinus infection. I stayed in bed most of the day on Thursday because… well, I felt like crap and if I ventured more than a few feet from the vaporizor on my nightstand my nose slammed shut. Molly stayed in her hiding spot between the bed and the wall all day because there were thunderstorms and a tornado warning all day.

I’d like to say that I napped most of the day but I can’t because my sleep schedule is still a little bit out of whack. Instead I read the last book in my stack with pauses to listen to the windchimes outside the window, the bubbling of the vaporizer, and Molly’s steady breathing.

I also thought some (what I thought at the time) profound thoughts. I felt like I had experienced moments of genius. I composed though-provoking blog posts in my head but the computer in the den seemed so far away. Eventually, I dozed a little bit. Of course, now I can’t remember a single, darn, profound thought or blog post.

Nuts.

Friday I went to the doctor and got anitbiotics for the green goblins hiding in my sinuses. Afterwards, I went to the Goodwill Bookstore and picked out four books. The bookstore just happens to be across the street from Chick-fil-a. I love, nay I covet Chick-fil-a’s waffle fries and sweet tea. Since I was feeling lousy, short on sleep, and I needed to take the antibiotics with food, I stopped. Mmmm.

Saturday my Sweetie, Mr. A and I went to the Borders store that’s closing and we came away with a dozen books – four of them mine. Then we went to Best Buy and got me my very own laptop. Either I’m one very lucky girl or I must have looked pitiful the two days I was sick and sans computer.

Now I have enough reading material for the next couple of months and I can blog from ANYWHERE! Watch out internet. Next time I’m running a fever and feel that stroke of genius I can blog about it.
