July 31, 2005

you'll awake with a tummyache

Okay, I self-diagnosed by Googling my symptoms and I think I have a campylobacter infection. (And if that isn't more than you ever wanted to know about me, I don't know what is.) I keep thinking about the lake, about how warm it was when I swam in it last, and the geese ... all those geese. Did you know that geese poop like, every seven minutes? Ugh.

So I'm hanging around at home half-dressed, watching movies and reading and not doing much else because I never know when a wave of ill feeling is going to make me have to put my head on the table and shut my eyes. On the up side, I've gotten more sleep in the past 24 hours than I've gotten for weeks, there isn't anybody around to keep asking me do I feel better yet, and I have absolutely no urge to anything other than what I am doing. And thinking:

I was wrong in life, limited, shrank everything down to my size, and yet, in the end, there was something light-craving within me, which sent me back, and saved me. (George Saunders)
and
Everyone thinks they're doing the right thing. But some people can't see anyone but themselves. They think they can, but they're always looking in a mirror. They think they're doing the right thing for someone else, but that someone else turns out to be themselves. (Jane Mendelsohn)
