Golly gosh. I have got so much make up on it is almost unreal. Ain’t no way nobody’s gonna tell Blue here is actually off-colour. Well, not from looking at me anyway. As soon as they start talking to me they’ll realise that I have clouds inside my head where my brain used to be (I told you, it crawled out through my ears) thanks to the wonders of Nurofen and general virus battles with the white blood cells. It is still raging away.
And although tonight really is no different from any other night (apart from the values that modern day society has ascribed to it) I can’t stay home on my lonesome, no matter how grotty I feel. Besides, I am a caring, sharing kinda girl so want to share my bug with all and sundry. Perhaps that is a little unfair. But The Doc seems to think that it’ll be ok, and as it is a muscular virus rather than me sneezing and coughing and dripping all over the place and I am not planning on being anywhere crowded, well, I am going to the planned meal at [insert name of trendy restaurant in S] and will celebrate midnight with these medical people and the other assorted randoms coming… before sloping off back here and going to sleep - and likely waking tomorrow feeling ten times worse than if I had just had an early night.
It is rather ridiculous that I feel such a great need to be with other people when the bells chime tonight. I can’t really explain it. But I really want to shut the door on 2006 and start 2007 as I want it to continue - and that certainly doesn’t mean bug-infested and alone. Aren’t there rules about NYE? Things like “if you cry on NYE you will cry all year” and the like?
So, all made up, I look ok. A bit peaky maybe, but I can’t get any more foundation on!! I have even managed to fill in the chicken pox scar on my forehead!! I’m hoping I make it to midnight.
Happy New Year to all Blue Soup readers - here’s to next year’s rambles and rants! *raises glass of tonic water* (yeah, I’m not drinking either… whoop whoop… hmmm) See you all tomorrow.
My dear Blue, are you sure that that’s wise? You need liquids (no, not *that* sort of liquids: water and fruit juice) and bedrest. You don’t want to catch your death, do you?
I was hoping you would be able to enjoy yourself somehow tonight! Happy New Years! *Clink*
Coatman - of course it isn’t wise. But I was a student a mere 2.5 years ago and so you can forgive me stupidity… it takes a while to wear off…
at 01.10 ish I feel totally
MiM - yeah, it was good while it lasted. Hope you have a good one when the time reaches you. Crazy how we are time apart. Happy New Year chick.x
Happy New Year to Soupy!
PS if your going to go out feeling ill, best to be around medics. Great choice of people to celebrate with I say. haha.
Medics are handy if you are desperately ill. Sadly their attitude to bugs is “oh bugger it, have a drink.” But lovely crowd who didn’t mind my being quiet and leaving after the dongs were done. Plus one of them bought my entrance ticket to the club that we had planned to all go on to as I really wasn’t up for partying so that saved me £25.
Blimey. Free entry. That was very nice. Sounds to me like a great bunch of people.
If only you could get them to phone ahead when you visit NHS hospitals and see if they can get you in some sort of “VIP Entrance” at the hospital and past the waiting queues.
