It’s amazing how quickly your house goes downhill when you're sick. It’s surprising how your body, when it is not in the best of shape – be it illness or decay - can make a simple task like moving a dish from the table to the sink and from the sink to the dishwasher impossible. It’s astonishing how quickly every table top and counter top and desk will become covered in random paperwork and mail and tissues, dishes, trash and general crap that shouldn’t live there but does when you’re not well. And it is utterly astounding how dog hair and dust and rug fuzz can multiply until it drifts into corners and under tables and behind doors, growing into stuffed animal sized balls of gross. All this is disappointing to see the morning after your body stops burning with temp, the room stops spinning when you move and you start to feel human again. All of this, while overwhelming at first look, will be tackled today. The tabletops will be cleaned, papers will be recycled or filed, tissues will be trashed, vacuum will be brought out to chase dust bunnies. I might even attempt a load of laundry or two. Yeah, I just remembered there are no stairs to the basement so that’s not happening. But the other stuff, that will get done today, slowly and steadily. But the number one item on the list will be the toilet. Because, when your body gives you not choice and demands that you crouch at it’s feet, it is quite horrifying to not remember when the last time it - and I'm speaking about the toilet here - was cleaned. Heck, I can't remember the last time the bathroom in general was cleaned. Ick. Thank goodness for blurry vision while dying. The end.

Thanks Mary. Still not well. Might actually have to stop WebMDing myself and go to one of those people who actually went to school to make people well... ugh.
