Death Becomes Her

Oh honey, it may become her, but it's so not a good look for me.

I no longer feel as if I've been completely covered in IcyHot and had my head stuffed by a taxidermist. I am no longer moving like I'm being tasered. I am beginning to dig myself out from under the piles of kleenex, bottles of diet ginger ale, bottles of antibiotics, blankets and ice packs.

Soon I will be able to push through to the surface, I can see light breaking through and it is beautiful.

However you define normal, that is what I long to be. Normal. Breathe normal. Talk normal. Think normal. Dream normal.

Dream normal would be a good place to start. I've had some VERY strange dreams of late.

Like having triplet newborn babies and I was never pregnant, nor did I adopt. I just had them.

Like ballerinas and sled dogs. Like teaching birds to fly.

My kids said they know I am feeling better because I yelled about my house being dirty. I want to see my friends and have a solid meal. And I actually want to go back to work.

Soon friends. Very soon.

  2. We miss you here - lunch is not the same! :)

    Maybe the dream about the "triplets" had something to do with the fact that while you were trying to take care of yourself - you were also taking care of your 3 babies - Jesse & the kids! :)

  3. Oh, I have such sympathy for you. Being sick stinks. And I think the older I get the more dramatic it feels. I had food poisoning a few months ago and honestly felt like I could sympathize with people going through chemo because I was so lethargic and dehydrated. :)
