The joy of sickness
A work question: if you’ve been sick since last Sunday, then get well just in time for the weekend, do you still get to goof off?
Something about a mild illness is mighty refreshing. Don’t want to jinx myself, since I’m not totally well yet, but this whole blog thing is jinx-ish, blabbing about this, when it’s more proper to discuss that. And a joyous sickness is generally infrequent, you don’t have to throw up, and it doesn’t last too long. Nothing in the flesh-eating bacteria line, absit omen.
Hoping Monday is the beginning of something great and grand.

Ahh but I think you missed the boat a little bit. A mild illness is refreshing, your right. You get time off work, extra time in bed, lot of hot drinks (and if your extra luck a nice hot nurse to bring then to ya)
But a major illness is one of those ‘put life into perspective’ things. A bacteria eats your leg (the short one cause the long one is pulling its weight) not only do you get to replace said lost leg with a wooden one (and be a modern day pirate, arrgh!) you can reminisce about what it was like to have that leg, how you took it for granted and then write an in depth novel about what losing your leg taught you about life.
I’m just saying mild illnesses are good and all but sometimes going for the ‘big ticket’ illness have it’s advantages too.
Don’t get me started on what type of illness would be best to get, everyone is getting cancer these days like it’s a trend, AIDS was yesterdays disease, how about something new something that doesn’t just steal it’s name from a million year old crab.
I think I might have just become controversial.

You could have something there, ClX! If my theory holds true throughout the sick spectrum, it may be that everything is good in its own way, even controversy!
Here’s to hoping all is well, even with sickness!
