Illness

I’m ill at the moment, and it’s slightly irritating. Long story short, I feel vaguely dizzy, get the odd headache and feel a bit shit, to put it bluntly. It’s the first time I’ve been ill in years.
To put this into perspective, sort of, I was at a party not too long ago (I can’t remember whos), but people there were discussing the last time they were sick- boasting how they havn’t been sick for “two years”, much to the surprise of the other drunkards there. I, meanwhile, being “straight edge” in all but name and fashion, revealed that I had not been sick since I was 10.
My mother is far too caring- I can still move about, I can still do stuff, I can still retort her silly arguments with razor sharp wit, yet she fusses over me like I’ve got the plague. She briefly returned home during her work to bring me some Coke and other stuff I didn’t even ask for. It’s like I’ve got the plague or something, and she’s trying to make me happier! Does she know something I don’t?
Perhaps the funniest thing about this whole illness experience is my being told to “take it easy”, not to go out, not to make an effort, just to rest, and sit on my laptop and watch TV. Same as usual, basically.
