Murphy's Law and the Cosmic Joke

[chenanceou]

I will not whine. I will not. The pain does NOT bother me... and the puking? Just nerves.

I keep telling that to myself, but I know better. It started with a bad migraine some days ago that landed me at the ER (it looks nothing like the one on the telly - where was Clooney?). Then it suddenly got incredibly cold here. Wait, I live in a bloody tropical country! Oh, right! Fever!

Yep, fever.
Puking.
Migraine.
Or how I like to call them: the Three Furies (disclaimer: has nothing to do with Mr. Fury, respected member of ME staff who has finally seen the light that is Spike).

I am taken by the weird feeling there is some co-relation between this, a cosmic sense of humor and Murphy's Law. Because of course it makes sense that I would get sick the week before I have to fly to Toronto. Why *not* get sick now? I mean I only have two cons and a list of fun things to do in the next 3 weeks. Not like I have anything planned for, say, the 4th of July. Right?

So I am going to do the responsible thing. What? Postpone the trip? No way! I'm going to take as much medication as this old, decrepit body can tolerate... Then I am going to stick so much make-up on my face even Tammy Faye will look natural in comparison. Then I am going to board that bloody 9-hour-flight-non smoking-plane if that is the last thing I do.

In case it is: white camellias are my favorite flower.

Get well soon, Chen.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Chen.
I didn't realize you are coming to Toronto- that's so excellent! I only met you briefly at Shore Leave last year (at the Resturant on Sunday night).
You'll fit in nicely in Toronto... but don't be surprised if when you cough, people run screaming.

Oh, Chennie . . . [hands Chen some virtual penicillin and a chocolate-covered Spike to take away the nasty medicine taste]

Hope the meds do their work!!!!

I hope that you feel better soon so you can have fun without pain. Might George be at either of the cons? If so, say hi to him for me, although I doubt he'll remember me.

You know how to say the right thing to perk up a girl.

Unfortunately he will not be at either con - since he is in Europe with his wife. In their honeymoon. I know, I know... It hurts, but then we do want him to be happy.
Even if not with us.
Chen so full of meds she can be officially labeled as high.

Look at you with the MmmGeorge page! Feel better, Chen.

the ER (it looks nothing like the one on the telly - where was Clooney?).

Um, Chen? Clooney's an actor. He doesn't know the business end of a speculum from an ET tube.

Just a little reality check for yah.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Chen. But just imagine, if you puke on one of the guests at the cons, you'll not soon be forgotten :-)

I hope you feel better soon!
