doctors orders

for those folk who read this, you will have noticed i've been off line. this is a combination of school holiday business but mostly the result of a very bad virus which has basically sapped me of my will to type. and my will to speak. my doctor told me to stay in bed adn not talk (what kind of parallel universe does he live in i wonder) and i've tried but it hasn't been hard. so as a result i am still whacked, but starting to feel plagued by guilt about not working enough...when doctors hand out orders like that they should also issue little pink cards that can be passed out to various folk saying "it's not my fault: i'm sick"....
