It seemed like I should have gotten enough sleep by now to be back to the usual moderate level of energy; yet here I was, not unsociable but not wanting to talk, not finding the mental energy to make those phone calls to bureaucrats, not having the physical energy to want to walk(!) even in good walking weather.

The fact that in yesterday's 60+-degree weather I felt compelled to wear a winter coat outside really should have been a clue.

Since I have more than fulfilled my quota for chronic ailments, I had thought I should be eligible for the exemption from infections and other acute ailments until at least 2008, but apparently the powers that be managed to lose those forms too.

(Okay, I didn't really find a place to apply for exemption from acute illness, but wouldn't that be neat? "Because of your exemption, you will not be required to get this year's scheduled attack of influenza. If you do receive this malady by mistake, please return it to your local office and report the error immediately. If there are any changes in your chronic illness, you must report these changes within 10 days, after which you will be scheduled for an in-person interview to determine whether you will be required to suffer a Schedule I malady (including but not limited to: influenza, pneumonia, a broken leg, earache, toothache, or the common cold). If you have any further questions, please call your case manager at the number printed at the top of this form.")

Oh well. I still have my sense of humor and my insides are mostly staying inside, so it could be worse.

Feel better!

I intend to!

wow. we've filled out and read too many forms.

because not only was your wording eerily dead-on with the exemption clause, but my mind went on to "read" the rest of the fine print in me own head.

i'd file, though. in triplicate, even. that one might be worth it.

Yes, we really have.

I'd file in triplicate if only I knew which office to go to for this.

OH!
I hope you feel better real soon!

I'm not feeling horrible right now, exactly. I'm overtired and chilled and fevery-feeling, sure that my body is fighting some kind of infection. But I'm not coughing and my digestive system is mostly working okay, so I have no idea where that infection would be. Oh well, as long as my body gets rid of it soon, I won't complain about my ignorance on that one point.

Upon realizing that I told you to fell better instead of typing *feel* better, I deleted and reposted my comment :) So, I'm so sorry that you feel icky. Your strength amazes me, though. This post was hilarious. I admire that you can keep your wonderful sense of humor in the face of adversity. If it's any consolation, my hopes are that things get easier for you even if it has to be at the expense of humor. FEEL better! ::hug::

I fell better than I might have when I was in the kitchen just now, managing to sit down relatively gently rather than crashing down hard. :-)

Thanks for the good thoughts, no matter how you type them!

Thank you! I'm feeling a little better now, but still tired & kinda loopy.
