You know, I don't mind being sick. I really don't. Not saying it's terribly romantic or that I don't feel miserable, because I definitely do... but it's good inspiration, it is. Apart from the part where my family's around.

Family seems to have no bloody problem listening or watching me suffer- which is just fine with me, it's not like I expect anything from them in the way of sympathy, which is why I probably turned out to be the nursemaid type :-) But here I am lying in bed trying to sleep (yeah, right, sleep? What's that again? Haven't seen it in days!) And Mother comes in to complain that I bloody missed the trash can (in my own bdroom) with a few tissues. Okay, this makes NO sense to me. They complain I take too much time when I refuse to set the table without washing my hands first and then lecture me about letting a bloody trash can overflow? LMAO! They apparently don't mind me hacking up a lung in front of them and then handing them food but leaving a couple tissues around in a room they don't go into? Um. Yeah. I think I'll stick with fiction. People seem a whole lot more sane in sneezefics *sigh*

Besides, both Remus and Obi have been cooperating marvelously with me today on that front.

Ugh. If only my minifridge wasn't in storage and I had a private bath. Then I could avoid them completely. I *so* miss having my own place. It's so much easier to feel properly miserable when there aren't people yelling at you to clean up and making you feel guilty...

Oh man, I'm totally the opposite of that. I can't stand being sick. If someone even coughs within five feet of me, I may just have to start washing my hands again. However, I can watch sneezing, albeit from a distance! LOL. \
Oh Obi and Remus! I love them both!
I totally know what you mean about being alone when sick. Alone I can handle, however, people expect you to be ten times neater than normal when you're sick! I'm a slob normally, and it's just passed by. But when I actually don't have the energy to fight it, then oh no! A tissue on the floor! Arghh!
Feel better so you can play with the fandoms again real soon!

It's not like I go around looking to get sick... or that I feel it's romantic or anything... cuz it's definitely not and I feel like shite. But it's not like I'm dying. I'd just appreciate being able to sleep for more than a half an hour at a time *crosses fingers for tonight... I'm going to try for a whole hour* :-) But I don't mind it too much. It's just part of life. So long as I know it's nothing serious, I don't mind it much. Guess I've just seen too many people in my family sick and dying or nearly dying to feel much about a cold, you know? This, too, shall pass.

It's just annoying when I go out of my way to wash my hands every ten minutes or stay away from others or not complain... and get yelled at for taking the time to be respectful. Which makes NO sense to me! Grr!
And I just need to have somewhere to not worry about it, since I make such a thing about being respectful when I'm around others. Stupid me, I thought maybe I'd be able to rest in my own bedroom without worrying about other people. And getting a lecture at this age, about this specifically (gods, if they only knew how well-read I am on this subject!), is just not cool. LOL
