So I'm finally admitting defeat and going to see the doctor this morning. I feel a bit guilty for grabbing one of the 'urgent' appointments but in a way it is kinda urgent.

Apologies to everyone I've got projects underway with, I've neither forgotten nor abandoned any of them and I really hope to get back to all of you before the weekend's through.

Now I'm off to bundle up in as many layers as I can put on and still get out of the door and head up to see what I swear sounded like Dr Frogan. Never heard of them before - Fagen yes, Logan yes, Frogan? Nope.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be not too serious.

Edit so I'm back from seeing the doctor, new guy whose name really seems to be Frogan. Nice guy, very understanding and bloody well younger than me. I must be getting old.

Anyways, it's gastric flu and the only thing that'll make it better is time, fluids and the shiny anti-nausea pills he prescribed.

*hugs* It's no fun feeling crappy. Get better soon.

I'm so cold I can't tell if it's the weather or me not being well.

Thanks!

It'll be a mixture of the two. It is quite cold though.

We had a little bit of snow overnight which was fun, but it's really sunny outside now so it's melting away what did manage to last. (It wasn't even as much as is in the icon). So I'm sitting here bundled up in a duvet with my fire up full and my kettle on, and I'm watching the enrgy efficiency ads on TV...

Nah, we've still got loads of snow lying. The salt air where you are will keep the snow at bay though. It was the snow two nights ago that really played havoc.

we've not really had heavy snow at all here, it's been flurrys but that's it. Like you say though, the salt air usually stops it hanging around for long

At least you've got S5 Angel DVDs (grumbles 'cos he hasn't even got the S4 DVDs yet) and the shiny pills to keep you happy now. *grins*

I'm actually thinking I should be watching BtVS s7 because it's almost March and my essay and ficlet for [livejournal.com profile] with_character is due then.

Plus I've got beta duties as well, [livejournal.com profile] emeraldswan and Bill have both sent me fics to look over, plus I'm doing some graphics work for someone else as well which I keep getting all caught up in (because I love the effects I'm getting with it), plus I've got "Gdansk For Nothing" wanting to be written (BBBFic challenge entry - like the title? *g*)

Plus I got a shiny new toy delivered yesterday... I fianlly admitted I'd never be happy till I got one and I bought myself a laptop! *g*
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 04:10 am (UTC)
Oooohhhhh, shiny new laptop. Like the title *grins*. You've got a lot of work on, again. Just don't try and do too much.

Got some more of Three Sheets to the Wind written yesterday, so will hopefully finish off the chapter today. Then my next story's gonna be a Willow/Angelus fic that Gabrielle's offered to Beta for me.

Hope the doc can sort out your blechiness, chick.

*Sends lots of virtual hugs, fluffly blankets, and other asorted warm garments*

((((Sho))))

I have pills now which are supposed to help with the not being able to face food, which will hopefully mean I can eat, which in turn might mean I have some energy to do things.

Fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks!

I suggest curling up in front of the TV and amusing yourself with Xander and Lindsay goodness. Not much energy required there, although there should be a very good feel-good factor *G*

((Sho))

Ahoy the hug mountain

*grin* and I just got the Angel s5 dvds, shirtless Lindsey goodness...

Gastric Flu though, that is nasty. I had it in my early teens and it was 'orrible.

It's sleeting here. I hate sleet, it doesn't even look pretty *pouts*. Although it might be an idea to avoid looking out the window if you feel cold. I'm sure half of it's psychological, you see it looks cold so you feel cold.

Hope it goes well and hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 02:18 am (UTC)
Thanks - so do I! Doc says it'll take as long as it takes but Monday should be the cut off date for me starting to feel better.
[identity profile] dimlondeiel.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 03:32 am (UTC)
Get well soon, Sho :)
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 03:35 am (UTC)
thank you! Now I know what it is I can do something about it, even if that involves doing exactly what I've been doing for the past few days. At least knowing what it is makes me feel a bit more positive.
[identity profile] dimlondeiel.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 03:38 am (UTC)
It always makes you feel a little better to know exactly what is causing feeling crappy.
[identity profile] liz-marcs.livejournal.com on February 24th, 2005 06:40 am (UTC)
*smoochies* feel better.

My request is not urgent and it's going to be at least two weeks.

And even if it was "urgent," your health is waaaaay more important than anything I've got for you. :-)

I sure hope those pills at least help you feel better and that you get over this flu soon! :::hugs you:::
