One way to feel un-sick is diverting one's mind. There is precious little one can do with lights off and a sister sharing the room. Basically, playing the violin is ruled out for that same reason. Sigh. So is reading because it needs for the lights to be on. So, here I am blogging instead because sleep eludes me. SIGH. Oh, in case you didn't realize, that was a bigger sigh.
So, I'm down with a nasty, nasty viral fever. And this time I have an ear infection too. While I'm quite adept at handling a running nose and watering eyes, I don't know how to deal with a leaking ear! Going deaf is the last thing I want to happen to me! How will I learn to play the violin or even listen to music? Yeah, I do tend to get dramatic when I'm unwell. I mean, come on, a little ear infection doesn't make one deaf... I hope.
So, now what new things do I tell you guys about? I have a friend who thinks I always have something interesting happening in my life to talk about. Then he admits that it's the dramatic way in which I narrate that makes it interesting. I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or what. Does he mean I have banal things happening in my life but I spice it up while narrating? Banal things in life is not good. My gift of gab, well, I think I could get smug about it. But I do agree that I have much talent at going on talking / writing about NOTHING. Like I am doing right now. And I notice you are still reading.
I was telling Gowri earlier about my being unwell and what my friends have been suggesting. One said he guzzles down 4 Patiala whisky pegs when he has a cold. Another friend offered rum because it's a warm drink. Then I met another friend who usually asks me to draw the thorn by a thorn and have chilled beer. Now I think he has finally started liking me and wants me to live, so he made me have brandy with hot water. I felt well enough to watch Roddick v/s Tipsarevic and Spain v/s Russia after that.
At home, I got a big time lecture from mom. Then she made me kaadha, though I told her I could make it on my own, but she thought it would be a lot easier if she made it herself rather than me yelling to ask how much clove and how much adrak and how much kaali mirch. I had that and felt a little better. Then I had a tablet to bring the fever down. It usually makes me very drowsy but my ear and back are hurting so much that I can't even sleep. And sitting is more comfortable than lying down. And I don't think I am feeling any better.
Okay, now my sister is super annoyed because my clacketing on the keyboard is disturbing her. Besides, I have spoken about NOTHING a bit too much. What? And you're still reading???
