It would appear that my wit has departed.... I complain about all the bloggers that I follow not keeping up their blogs, and then I find out that most of them are trying their best to fight off H1N1 in one way or another. If that is not witlessness I don't know what is.
Update: My H1N1 is still a tight chest with sporadic coughing though I do feel more energetic. (I swept today!!) Daughter #1 is showering and rinsing the slime of H1N1 off her carcass which has built up over the last two days, is coughing sporadically and dealing with an elevated temperature. Hubby, not home yet, doesn't seem to be ill affected nor is Daughter #2. H1N1 is certainly nothing to snuff at. Any communicable disease that has the power to kill is a serious thing indeed. I just wish it would dry up and blow away... (this Chinook wind could do that) but it seems to have ideas of its own and so it rampages around the world and I find more people fight this nasty thing in their homes quietly with only slight references to it in their blogs. I can only pray that those who are touched by its furor are able to fight it off.
My wit flu (pun intended) out the window weeks ago. For a while, (a very short while) I felt that my writing was of interest. But today I've come to the conclusion that perhaps in autumn my mind goes on standby for a few months. (this occurred after reading a series of very good blogs and feeling somewhat intimidated and slightly jealous), I'm not sure this is due to the longer nights and the shorter days or whether this is due to the exhausting flu I've been fighting for a while. Either way there it is... or isn't as case may be.... I'm witless! Please excuse any witlessness on my part over the next few days.
Here's an observation: I have a spider (several actually... but we won't think about that as it might lead you to believe that I am a bad housekeeper!) It is a tiny little spider that has made himself comfortable on the wall by the back of the computer on my desk. I have been watching the spider for two days as spiders interest me. This wee spider is about the size of a pencil dot. Yeah, like the period at the end of the last sentence. His web is tiny too. Now if you know anything about my computer you know that it is a dinosaur. There is a fabulously large fan at the back of it and that fan goes pretty much constantly (because I'm on the computer way too much). The fan has been blowing on spidey for days now and that wee spider is bouncing on his web up and down about a million times a day. I should call spidey Timex because he just takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. That spider never stops bouncing... I'm sure he must be taking seasick pills or something. End of observation!
Witlessness is not something I am proud of and so I try very hard to hide my witlessness as it is shameful to me. You know, I was one of those girls who never had a come back for sarcasm until two days later and then I would think it was so good that I couldn't just toss it away and so I would scheme to use it in some other context but it never ever came off. Sad I know!
So there you have it... witless autumn days are upon me... I think I'll go watch spidey bounce.
