I was looking forward to November! It was going to be a fun month of crunchy leaves and fun fen fens - but instead, this November was just miserable. I spent the first half in political malaise, agonizing over fears of what might happen to the spaces I care so much about. Even with that, I held onto hope, as I did have one bright shining star on the horizon and that Thanksgiving was coming and I was going to have a nice long vacation to make up for my lack of fluffy fen fens - there was to be a fen-fen festival! Unfortunately, day one, I started feeling ill. I slept something like 18 hours on and off for two days under blankets and by the third, whatever it was had settled in. I've lost an entire weeks vacation to a stupid... something...
I'm not even sure what that something is. Like every other miserable thing that befalls us, it's much much worse at night. I don't think that narrows it down any. EVERYTHING is worse at night. I do know I am eternally prone to allergies and 80 million humans deciding to take airplane trips and crank up the fireplaces in a city of several million is not helping. Unfortunately this whole sick thing has robbed me of my creative zest and the whole thing is a loss. I can tell this thing is going to sit around, comfortably making my life miserable for the next several days.
I suppose I should still be grateful. A lot of people never get any time off in this country and I don't have the kind of sick time I would need to have covered something of this length. But I kind of wanted my vacation and fluffy fen fens? Blegh!
