Alive and well
The pathetic fallacy is alive and well. Today dawned with blue sky after a week wet and bleak and unrelenting. As I made the first moves back to ordinary life after a grey week of flu.
It began last Monday with a cough, the classic way for the already resident virus to spread itself. Then two days and nights of high fever as the body amazingly raised its own temperature to kill the invader.
All carefully arranged appointments for the week cancelled. All work put aside.
After 48 hours the fever abated and appetite returned for okayu rice gruel, and potato broth. Another 48 hours and this morning, energy began to return.
I look forward to tomorrow when burgeoning health and bright sunshine continue to spiral in improbable synchronicity.
