Portrait of Clara (as a chemist)
1 month ago
Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness:
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.
Andrew Marvell, "The Garden" 41-48

RenGirl, it is so totally, completely, absolutely okay to chill when you're sick. Better than okay: it's even recommended.
Listen to Mama Magico: Sleep, chill, and get better so you can write with a clear head.
okay?
YOU MUST CHILL.
The only things you must think about right now are soup, tea, and sleep. Feel free to remix the order.
poor girl.
Yeah - If I try to write when I'm sick, usually I end up wasting a lot of healthy time trying to fix my addled ramblings. Just remember that giving yourself time to get better is actually more efficient in the long run than trying to sort out your babbling later.
So, permission to take it easy? Granted.
Think of it as a time management problem--work and stress while sick equals longer time being sick. Chill while ill, sick goes bye-bye sooner and you can get back to work sooner.
Take it from someone who worked for six weeks through what I thought was a respiratory infection and was actually bronchitis that turned to pneumonia. Then I had to take two weeks off, so I ended up sick for two months instead of the two weeks it would have been if I'd stayed home, gone to the doctor, gotten antibiotics and CHILLED OUT!
Rest. Now.
