Metal Fatigue

23 Feb

I think I’ve infected the appliances

I went into the spare room at the first throat tickle and avoided all contact with the Hub and it seems to have worked: his compromised immune system didn’t cave at the first sneeze spray like it usually does.

Give me my mofackin' pot pie!!! 298/365

However, my rotten germs needed to go somewhere.  Suddenly, the TV is showing wavy lines; the fridge freezer has a blockage; the PC demanded a new power supply and the dishwasher gave up the ghost.

Coincidence?  I think not.

        It’s the winds blowing the dust and pollens everywhere. If only it would rain!

    After reading the six words, but before reading the rest of the post, I imagined all you electrical appliances coughing and sneezing everywhere 😀

    Yikes! Maybe you should stay away from the computer! 😉

    I hope you’re feeling better soon.

    I suppose appliances could be feeling sympathy symptoms. Could be. Be careful the computer doesn’t start acting up. Feel better very soon.

    Troubles usually come in threes, but you have to go one better and have four problems

    WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE MALTESERS! They may be contaminated by your bugs.

    Worrying about a computer virus was bad enough. But a refrigerator virus? a tv virus? a toaster virus? Uh, oh.

    That sounds a little spooky and poltergeisty. I am happy that the Hub has emerged unscathed from the onslaught of germs and that you are at last on the road to recovery. Hooray! Boo on the appliances.

    Linda, how do you really feel … you have been down with different bugs for months now – your immune system must be very low. Only thing I know that fixes this … Seven Seas Cod Liver capsules with Omega-3. Promise it booth the immune system like nothing else and bugs.. will just pass you by.

    Speaking as a Reiki Master, it’s probably the other way about. The machines might be giving a clue as to what’s going on with you. Fatigue, huh? Feeling wobbly, blocked, weak, and like giving up? Time for a serious rest, perhaps! Which the illness is providing an opportunity for – but for future reference, please rest before your body needs to make you ill in order to get your attention. 🙂

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
