sick day


[paper anxiety warden, by Alex]

Sickness seldom seizes me. More often my body rebels from the day: stress I did not know I was holding, the clenching of the jaw that imprints headache. I wonder about yesterday, when ache and weariness kept me prone. Flu? Migraine? Or years of leading a department, slowly releasing their hold?

Well no wonder you were struggling to write on Friday: you were clearly incubating this horror... Hope you're feeling better soon.
