Sorry to hear you've been so out of sorts, but your ability to get it all down speaks to you feeling a bit better, anyway. <BR/><BR/>(I was a little scared for you when you were doing the oatmeal...actual cooking, on a stove?! What were you thinking...?)<BR/><BR/>If it's any consolation, you sound a bit like me in the garden, always backtracking for the tool I left over here, when I decided I had to start that project over there...and so on...<BR/><BR/>It probably is spring, and the trees with all their fairy dust, and like that...<BR/><BR/>(And I DO think the Word Ver phrases have become more impossible to read this week...)Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337889899066280559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-17797362524444250122008-04-28T10:44:00.000-04:002008-04-28T10:44:00.000-04:00Oh Patrick.

Everyone in my office has been getting hit by (a) bug(s), Spring illnesses are the second-worst (Summer being the real bears) AND one of my bosses got pneumonia from his cold. This is not what we wants for my Patrick. We wants much better things, my Patrick.

I have ...Oh, so that's what it is ... spring fever! I have it, too. That giddy, off-kilter, head-swirling kelaidescope feeling. It took me ten minutes to decide which shoes to wear yesterday. I rinsed a glass in the sink for a similar length of time. I stopped mid-sentence while reading a story to my sons like a gormless twit, staring, mouth-opened. Dario expressed it quite well, "Daddy, what are you listening to?", he said.<BR/><BR/>Listening, that's it. I am listening to the budding spring dance its unseen fever in my blood.Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327268988762513100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-7002642836404738802008-04-27T06:59:00.000-04:002008-04-27T06:59:00.000-04:00Oh my you describe the swirly very well.

Retracing your steps over and over performing some task, in and of itself, is a source of fatique. I hope you chose taking the nap, the rest will do you well. It also sounds like you may be a wee bit dehydrated. Don't forget to drink water.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481663364693052582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-87842952897431664042008-04-26T21:08:00.000-04:002008-04-26T21:08:00.000-04:00Feel better, Patrick!

When people hear that term they envision tripping merrily down a verdant hillside strewing wildflowers from their shoulder bag and singing like a lark. No. No, no, no, no. It's not about spring. it's about fever. It's feeling like I've been run over by a psychedelic schoolbus. It's lassitude, squared. It's taking five minutes to figure out <I>how to open</I> my email. It's not about dancing a gigue. It's about finding the nearest bed. You want energy? Focus? Brilliance? October. Spring is for the birds.Joe Jubinvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489419756833657839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-85445201576675710112008-04-26T15:16:00.000-04:002008-04-26T15:16:00.000-04:00THERE you are!!!!

But still...<BR/>Sometimes Superman starts feeling a bit off, sort of like what you describe. And when he's sick he gets very "stupid." I have to tell him that he's sick, watch out for him, make sure he doesn't hurt himself or anyone else before he gets it together again. And he needs to be told to rest, because he just doesn't think about it.<BR/><BR/>It is rather frightening that you've been making precision cuts with a dull exacto knife.<BR/><BR/>Word verification has gotten worse in the last couple of days. I think Blogger found a new way to distort them, making them nigh onto impossible to decipher.

I know it well. I'd prefer the stomach-flu-bug over the snail-brain-bug anyday.<BR/>When I have it, I kind of feel like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. 'Sedated'. It'll pass. Your brain had such a long rest, it will be in full spin next week. And hopefully this will result in some GREAT posts. This wasn't bad, by the way. May be missing a little coherence here and there, but hey, you're on the way back.<BR/>Take it easy, enjoy the weekend and don't forget to put on pants when you go out tonight...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
