Oh dear god, I don't think I have been this sick in years.

The doctor (yes, I eventually dragged myself to see one, without any prodding from anyone. Be proud of me, dammit, I'm feeling poorly!) says it's one of those short-run viruses and that I pretty much just have to "tough it out", his words. So hello fever and headaches and aching all over.

Good thing I'm not too prone to self-pity, eh?


Oh Percy, I couldn't help but admire the necklace Ginny was wearing at the Gala - she said you gave it to her. I was wondering if we could maybe catch up some time soon when I'm feeling better because I've just got a few questions about where you got it from. Let me know.

I'm very proud of you.

Do you need soup? Or paracetemol?

Or potions?

Why thank you.

And yes, yes and yes. Please.

It'll have to wait until I'm done with my shift, but I'll definitely bring round supplies as soon as I'm done here.

I hope it's not overly busy.

It's not too bad. It's cleared out some in the past hour because it's getting late. Tubby's actually doing work, bless his cotton socks.

Whenever I was an ill youngster my Dad would make me drink tea with anise, lemon, honey, and whiskey, which was to be followed by a strong dose of pepper-up. Works quite well provided you don't sick up the whole concoction down the front of your dressing gown!

[info]earnesternest

Anise and honey? It makes me green just thinking about it.

Your fever, chills, and headaches will subside, but you'll be vomiting up your back teeth! Fucking trade-offs, eh?

[info]earnesternest

Jesus. I was just glad that this virus I have doesn't involve me puking my guts up. I don't think I'm going to go out of my way to make that happen!

Maybe Justin will make it better if you ask him and add a pretty please or two.

At least it's short-run, right? I think I'd be forced to poison myself, were I to suffer both a fever and Justin nursing simultaneously.

[info]only_eloise

July 21 2005, 07:01:30 UTC 6 years ago

You're being nursed by Justin as well?

[info]earnesternest

July 21 2005, 07:08:54 UTC 6 years ago

He's not, he's just being a shitstirrer.

[info]only_eloise

July 21 2005, 07:12:49 UTC 6 years ago

Oh relief, I was beginning to think I'd need to make a bloody chart!

[info]skepticaemia

July 21 2005, 08:26:16 UTC 6 years ago

At last, a name for my talent!

[info]earnesternest

July 21 2005, 08:51:53 UTC 6 years ago

Well, that's one of the names. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, Zachy boy.

It's a good thing you'll not have to worry about it then, isn't it? And what makes you think Justin would be a bad nurse?

[info]skepticaemia

July 21 2005, 08:22:17 UTC 6 years ago

I'm sure he's quite capable. I'd really be much more concerned with the potential costume choices.

[info]jmff

July 21 2005, 08:38:01 UTC 6 years ago

I apprenticed with Madam Pomfrey my sixth thank you very much, and there's no costume involved.

Unless Ernie asks...

[info]skepticaemia

July 21 2005, 08:47:11 UTC 6 years ago

What, no costume? Not even a little white hat with a red cross on it?

Mum has rallied magnificently and I have a vat of chicken soup, some excellent books (they are from me, not Mum) and I'm going to lend you my Gameboy Extreme. Shall I bring them round for you? Is there anything you need?

[info]earnesternest

July 21 2005, 11:25:32 UTC 6 years ago

Justin's here right now, but you're welcome to drop by tomorrow.

My place is far from being the Ritz, I have to say - in fact, it's pretty bloody awful, but if you don't mind that then you're welcome.

[info]up_the_hammers

July 21 2005, 11:27:30 UTC 6 years ago

Of course.

Ernie, I'm an artist, my entire flat is covered in paint. Your place will probably be less painty, which is a good thing.

[info]earnesternest

July 21 2005, 11:38:02 UTC 6 years ago

This is a pretty rough spot I live in. The block is a dump and my neighbours are junkies or couples always getting the Met called on them for domestic disturbance. Homeless people use the stairwell as a toilet. My flat is fine, it's just everything else that's a problem.

Mind, I think that makes it sound worse than it probably is.

[info]up_the_hammers

July 21 2005, 11:42:47 UTC 6 years ago

Ah, that's a point - where do you live?
