Being sick isn’t actually any fun

Since getting a job with a real salary (well, actually, a vocation with a stipend – theologically very different but still more regular money than I’ve ever had before) I’ve been buying DVDs. When I finish ministry and have nowhere to live because I never saved the money for a house – it’s the DVDs that will be to blame. Every time I buy a television series I look at the box and think: I’m never going to have time to watch this; I wish I was sick and could just lie on the couch watching television.

Well, I’ve just spent a week being sick and I didn’t get to spend most of it lying on the couch watching TV; I spent most of it lying in bed feeling absolutely bloody awful. I couldn’t even read – not even the four volumes of comics that I’ve borrowed from Pete and really must read and return!

(On the upside, I haven’t had any coffee or chocolate for a week; maybe I accidentally broke my caffeine addiction and didn’t notice the withdrawal headaches in the middle of all the other aches and pains.)

Eventually, I managed to feel well enough to make it to the couch, but not yet well enough to face life again, and that’s when I watched two seasons of How I Met Your Mother in two days. A bit like over-eating at Koko Black’s, but a good thing to do when pretty much nothing in my mind or body seemed to be working.

So, being sick – not all it’s cracked up to be. Much better to be able to breathe without pain!

Anyway, check out a couple of very nice photos from the wedding of a charming couple.
