Shake The Disease
Despite my GPs assurances yesterday that there was nothing wrong with me, I seem unable to shake this sickness. What's worse is that now the mere sight of food is enough to make me gag; I wonder where it's all going to end. I suppose that's just a conditioned response, so much throwing up after eating is bound to make one a bit edgy around food. This is not good, it's not fun and it's costing me time off work. Normally I wouldn't care, but... well actually I don't care about work so much as I care about the money this is costing me. I hadn't really thought about it until this morning when it occured to me that this time off is taking money right out of my pocket! I don't know what I'll do tomorrow, I really don't. I don't want to pre-judge how I'm gonna feel, but if it's anything like this I won't want to go back. On the other hand, I also won't want to be throwing my wages away...
I thought a nice image of Neptune would be pleasingly soothing for today. Interesting to think that as little as twenty years ago we knew absolutely nothing about Neptune, and that in the time since the Voyager fly-by we really haven't learned much else. Yes, while I've been sick my mind (when awake) has been much occupied with the Voyager spacecraft and their discoveries (possibly because I keep falling asleep during a documentary about them). I keep meaning to find out what they're up to now, Voyagers 1 & 2, but I can never quite be bothered to look. And now isn't going to be any different.
