Flu....

Oh yeah.

I was determined to keep writing...at my desk...as usual....

Ha.

Turned on computer.

Opened current project. Ran spell-check. Saved file.

Coughed. Moaned.

Stared at screen.

Tried to find synonym for "Thing."

Watched words melt into each other.

Decided "Thing" should stay "thing."

Saved file.

Turned computer off.

Instant guilt pangs.

Took temperature.  Less guilt. Still determined.

Grabbed laptop and went to bed.

Got comfy on pillows and under blankets. Turned on  laptop.

Stared at screen.

Woke up in dark room with dead computer.
