Writing on a high
Today, due to multiple illnesses attacking my body all at once, I was prescribed a cocktail of medication.
Also, due to deadlines which never go away, I had to sit down at home, on my day of rest, to finish some work.
Of course, it is always never nice to get writer’s block with a looming deadline.
So I swallowed all the medication at once (with food of course! This is a public service warning to kids that you should always listen to your doctors) and never felt so ‘high’ in my life.
I sat down to write thereafter, and lo and behold, my writer’s block was cured.
Now I know why people get addicted to narcotics and why Slyvia Plath writes so well.
I also discovered that falling sick is pretty common in an office that is under-staffed.

*hug* i’m sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling well. But seriously, its called “SICK LEAVE” for a reason
Get better soon!!!
btw, what’s your mailing address? I went to the cherry blossom festival this past weekend (didn’t go to the kite festival though…WAYYYY too crowded) and I got some pretty pics for you. When are you going to Europe?

Wow, pretty pics! Am so excited! But I feel sad that I miss visiting you in DC because of all this insane work. It is hard applying for leave now, with more of my colleagues leaving the place and no replacements in sight as yet. Sigh..
What is the kite festival? Trying to arrange for the Europe trip but as usual my mom is procrastinating. Want to buy the tix asap as well.
