I’ve been suffering election fever...

WHAT KATI DID NEXT:
Well that’s a week of my life that I’m not getting back.
Lay prostrate, waited on hand and foot, watching daytime telly.
Come to think of it this is sounding like heaven isn’t it
Like something we would pay hand over fist for, something we would only do once every year, like on an anniversary or a special birthday.
Well it’s not, let me tell you, anything like heaven or a birthday I have ever had. I am still in the dying stages of flu.
I’m calling it flu, I’m not going to pussy foot around with the likes of the simple cold, no no, this one is the full blown flu and let me tell you I am not the sort of person who whines about their ailments.
In fact, I don’t do ailments, I normally crash on through any malfunctions of health with an abundance of vitamin C and generally, when not pregnant, a large amount of alcohol.
A hot whisky, whether conjoined with honey and lemon will do it, actually you can throw out the honey and lemon.
I hold no truck with honey or lemon, just heat up that alcohol and see how medicinal it truly is.
Anyway, no booze for me this time as an eight months pregnant bird all I can have is a couple of paracetamol a couple of times a day and then head off to bed.
So that is what I have done for the past few weeks. Oh I am sick of the radio, the television, sick of CDs and DVDs, however the thing I am most sick of though is the election.
It was only announced a nanosecond ago but I have spent an inordinate amount of time having to listen all about it from all the different sources of media.
Oh I am so over the election.
Two weeks ago I was quite a political person, now I couldn’t give a monkeys.
Whoever, whatever, its all okay by me as long as we can stop going on about it.
However from now on I will no longer be forced to listen to any of it as I shall be out and about. I will be keeping my head right out of the political arena.
Isn’t it great being well again.
