Me, this morning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ah, the Joys of Spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has to be confessed that I\u2019m not having the best time of my life right now. I woke up, after some very interesting dreams, felt mighty sick. And pretty shortly thereafter, barfed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure the fish and chips dad and Claire kindly bought us last night totally agreed with me. But the neither am I sure that this was plain ol\u2019 food poisoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been suffering from hyper anxiety and agitation just recently. And a disturbed mind can manifest in many ways physically (please note, this is not <\/em>an endorsement of Louise Hay\u2019s insane ideas<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon, Teresa, and Claire, Sunday evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I spent almost the entire day today in bed. Feeling thoroughly wretched. I had \u2018cotton mouth\u2019 the entire day, despite eating next to nothing and drinking lots of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s some shit going down in my life at present that I\u2019m keeping to myself. Maybe just for the time being, maybe forever. But it ain\u2019t pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today it culminated in a mammoth visit to the A&E at Peterborough Hospital. Mammoth in the sense we were there from 3.50-10.20pm\u2026 six and a half hours! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, glory be to our ultra-capitalist society, not only am I there as an ill person, I also have the joy of paying \u00a39 parking for the privilege of this exhaustingly long visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Tory Overlords sure know how to milk us Serfs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But back to the Joys of Spring: acid-reflux, bloated stomach, wind. Eyes red and puffy from a mixture of disturbed sleep and all sorts of other shit. This weird upper respiratory bullshit that\u2019s been bugging me now for three or four years straight!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s do the show right here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s enough to make one sooo<\/em> miserable one feels compelled to write a musical, and make everyone else\u2019s lives a misery as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems my cup o\u2019erflo\u2019eth with naught so much as bile. Will I even make it through this week? Past evidence suggests I will. But that doth not fill me with The Joys of Spring. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
