Note—What’s with all the summer chills?

Not today Satan, if you please

Such strange weather—why, why … no really! Why am I so susceptible? All it is, is a little heat, a little moisture in the air—and that five degree drop over night. Not good! Is it rust?

Am I fucking rusting?

No, just outwitted by peculiar weather [coughs]: I’m damp, not too wet—but it’s the chill. It’s the bloody chill that gets you; runs you down and lets the germs cry havoc.

I have all this copy in relative states (diplomatic, Moi?).

Twenty years of letters, which I like more than the notes. Have you seen my brain? It’s utterly incomprehensible—I think. Anyway—give me the journals. I want to do the journal: its grown up at least. But you’re still obsessing over the notebooks.

“Everything I do ONLY has a kind of sense.”

What does that even mean?

Does it mean nothing I do makes … something, something sense?

Affirming the consequent there, darling? Embarrassing [coughs]. Or am I denying the antecedent?

I’ll be denying any responsibility for those notebooks, if …

God, I feel rough. It’s humid, I’m cold and hot and damp. Shit, am I coughing?

Really Satan [cough]!

OK, the TODO list is being given a delay until I get a couple of chapters in and I need to charge my headphones.

I did get that email finished though. Hot.

Go and breathe for twenty hours, amateur.

  1. This was me two weeks ago and then I got super sick. Anyway, hope things got better.

  2. I’ve been getting chills with the big drops in temperature at night when my body malfunctions and goes haywire—the last time the shivers were so bad, I hurt my-back—and then I’m susceptible to catching something because my immune system has taken a battering, as if a week of hot flushes and violent shivering wasn’t enough.

    a partridge in a pear tree?

    This has happened three times in the last couple of month—the last time hit me particularly badly. It’s the remnants; the left over injures and symptoms; the coughing; the sinuses trying to clear, that’s what drove me particularly bonkers.

    And then my GP took me off one of my meds, then freaked out about what to replace it with—so on top of the disco-flu, I’ve had a month of brain-zaps, mania, zero-filters, and weird behaviour—BUT, it’s also why I missed a birthday, which lead to an email, which lead to me writing for the first time in a decade.

    So, I think “things [did get] better.”

    They’ve certainly got weirder … and more complete.
