I would write about Olympia, but I can't see it right now. I've had pneumonia for about a week, and it's proved to be quite the downer. I just want to go out and work, play, drink coffee and get rained on.

But instead, I'm stuck inside taking as much medication as your late grandmother and trying to find something to do on my computer. I've watched every episode of my favorite show, Trailer Park Boys. I've watched dozens of movies. I've watched dozens of MMA fights. I've picked up video games I haven't touched in months and beaten them.

I used to resent not having the free time to do these things because of work and school, but now I'd love nothing more than to be busy and healthy again. Go get rained on and enjoy it for me, I'll be busy coughing up blood.

Aw

I've had pneumonia myself, I feel your pain...  Take care and get well soon!

That sounds awful

I hope you feel better soon. It is kind of ironic, isn't it, how that downtime you crave when you're busy isn't nearly as enjoyable when it's forced upon you! Reminds me of when I was pregnant and forced into bedrest for weeks... I think I saw every video that came out that year (1993).

Feel Better Soon!

I'm not sick very often but I usually want to sleep the whole time. I envy people who can remain active while feeling ill but empathize with your boredom and wish you a very speedy recovery!
