~Hit By A Train~

I'm lucky enough to rarely be ill.

Even when I am, it's not often that I have to give in to it.

When I had to have my broken right foot pinned back together a few years ago, I still managed to get around pretty much normally.

However, I've picked up a flu/cold type thing over the past couple of days and, I have to admit, I feel like I've been hit by a train.

One of my CLIENTS actually finished her session early today because, in her words; 'you look like death warmed up'. Luckily, she's one of my hard-core clients, so it won't be a black mark against me professionally.

I had an inkling that something was afoot ealier in the week when I got a cold-sore on my lower lip. If I get a cold-sore, it usually means that I'm coming down with something.

I've got my Uncle's 60th birthday bash to attend tonight, so I think I may well try to get some kip this afternoon and see if I can reduce the size of that train!


TODAY'S MOOD: Sickly

SOUNDTRACK: Paul Hardcastle - '19'


This came up in conversation earlier today. I hadn't seen the video in years, so I thought I'd have a gander on YouTube.

It's still as disturbing today as it was back in '85.



FOOTNOTE: Things never really change, do they? :-/

  3. Hope you feel better for the birthday party. That video is so disturbing. I lost a cousin to that war, plus numerous, NUMEROUS close friends. What a waste. Hugs.

  6. Lots of fluids Andy, and if you had a juicer I'd give you some concoctions that would knock it out in a day ... rest well and all that.

  8. Hey, I hope you made it to the party without incident.

    I had completely forgotten about that song. I have never seen the video. An unwinnable war in unique terrain, fought by youngsters. Sounds current, doesn't it?
