Respite

I got clobbered with one of the “bugs” that’s been floating around.
It hit me Friday morning, but not badly enough to keep me from my usual routine.
Saturday was different: fever, malaise, upset stomach, etc.
Normally, it would have been annoying to be sick on a weekend, but having an excuse to veg out in a easy chair and take long naps in a comfortable, quiet environment felt more like a vacation than a convalescence: non-productivity without a shred of guilt.
