Paracetamol

[raven]

I am so tired, and headachey, and cold, and just generally blah. I have spent the last couple of hours online, watching M*A*S*H, watching VH1's 100 Greatest Videos, and reading Prozac Nation because that's just what I do. I persuaded Thomas to relinquish his computer, sent him running for Becca, and so we have agreed to go into town tomorrow, presuming I am still alive. Somehow, the prospect of sitting in Starbuck's all afternoon is endlessly appealing. I think maybe I will have to bite down my pride and ask my mother for some money. I'm broke, but I loathe asking for money. C'est la vie.

Huh. Bored now. I need to go out in a moment (into driving rain, which will do my state of health so much good) and check the road outside. This morning, it was covered in water. There's a leak in the outside pipes which United Utilities have decided to ignore. Another example of life being life.

Strangely, on a day on which I have begun to exhibit distinctly flu-like symptoms, I'm noticed that it's getting warmer. It's no longer uncomfortable to spend time outside, presuming you are wrapped up in coat, scarf, and gloves, but previously even that wasn't something you wanted to do. To celebrate it, Pedar and I went for a long and meaningless walk down the shore this morning. Haven't done that for a while.

That's all, I guess. I hate taking paracetamol, but I guess I'm going to have to, if I want to successfully get out of bed tomorrow morning. This always happens when I don't have to go to school!

Oooh! I hope you feel better soon.

Paracetemol sucks :( M*A*S*H and music videos sound like a good idea, tho!

Thanks. I hope I do too.

Hey, you know what paracetamol is! So many of my online friends need it explained...

Bleah. Don't know what paracetamol is, but I'll take y'all's word that it sucks. :P And, yeah, why is it that illness always seems to come on just in time for a holiday, a weekend, or a day off?

I hope you're feeling better very soon, Raven dear!
*good wishes*

Ah, thank you. Paracetamol is an analgesic for people who can't take aspirin. Has a lot of bad press for being the easiest over-the-counter drug with which to kill yourself.

I'm going to bed now. *waves* Good night!
