Low fever and all-over body aches. Last time I had this, I slept through it. That didn’t work this time.
I feel like I have been pumped full of mild acid. I feel so bad that I can’t imagine other people having this and not giving it a name. Like the “The Toxic Marianade of 2011.”
I mentioned it to my brother, and he said he’d had it, and his doctor said it’s going around and it’s very contagious. It hurts like hell, I know that. I think a big part of it is that everything is swollen, too. Right now I’m pretty sure I have a sick day on the horizon.
On the plus side, I surfed the net all evening and found how to curl ostrich feathers. So that’s something to live for.

Sympathies. Feel better soon.
Pooh. I wish you speed in your recovery. May your inflammation realize that it’s just not angry any more, and it can back the hell down, now.
Do you use a curling iron? I know with the new fad being rooster feathers in your hair; you just use a curling iron.
That ostrich feathers need curling was something I did not know.
OH. Get well soon.
For the record, I stayed home while sick yesterday and did not have toxic marinade. Feel better, but don’t come to work until you do.
Becs – I think I do feel better, thank you.Tami – Yep, inflammation, that’s the first word that popped in my mind. Especially since I felt for three days that my left leg had a dent in it. But that paresthesia’s gone now.Amy in StL – I think one of the options was to narrow the spine and then use a curling iron. Evidently you can take the fronds and curl each like a skinny ribbon on a gift, but I broke half the fronds when I tried it.Magpie – The big ones, especially. The spines are stick straight.Hattie – I think the day of CNN did me good.Caroline – I was on the fence until I woke up congested. That cleared up soon, but I could tell I was teetering on the edge of ilness.
