Wednesday

5 Jun

The post’s title is short because that’s all I can think of today.  I promised you stories of my mucus, old buildings and new visitors; but all you’ve had are jokes.

Super Yorkie

I’m tired.

I’ve had two months of constant on-the-go-ness and now I have to listen to my husband using my own nagging against me: Listen to your body!  It’s okay to do nothing for a little while. Watch telly and leave your laptop alone.  Your readers will manage to survive without you.

Okay, I don’t say that last bit to him, but I would if he was a blogger.

I’m lying in bed at lunchtime typing this, and I don’t feel guilty.  I don’t feel anything except jellyness – that feeling that you will collapse into a sticky puddle on the floor, licked up by dogs with sweet tooths and remembered only as that blogger who made us laugh for a bit till she overdid it and then disappeared into a Yorkie’s gut.

Yes, self-pity is alive and well in Tillybudland, but it’s nothing a week off and the first thirty episodes of ER won’t cure.

See you on the other side, if I don’t turn into a pudding.

    Listen to the Hub, I don’t want the dogs licking your jellyness into their little bellies. Put your feet up and enjoy ER, it was really pretty great especially in the beginning.:)

    I love “Super Yorkie.” Get your rest. We won’t go away. We promise. I’m tired, too. I need a nap.

    If you’re reading this comment, you’re doing the wrong thing. Shut the danged thing off, TB. Don’t make me come over there and smack you silly.

    Take the time you need Linda, we’ll wait for you! Give yourself a couple extra Maltesers for good measure – I would hate to see you turn into a pudding.

    Get well soon Tilly, I can commiserate because I’ve had a chest infection for the last two weeks and feeling lousy gets old really quick. Laptops in bed are good, unfortunately not all of what I have written makes sense because my concentration skills were invaded by germs and are now overrun with medications.
    Hopefully the sunshine will have both our sets of germs on the run very soon.

      Sorry to hear you’re not well. I’m just tired (exhausted!), so all I need is rest. I think it’s worse for you. Feel better soon!

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.
