Except my wife is sick now.
She's actually glad she caught the bug after me - as she told me, "Watching you, I knew exactly what to expect." So - is "you're welcome" appropriate for being all communicable with the disease?
She also said, when the flu was causing her stomach pains, "How did early hominids survive?" A sick anthropologist is a hilarious anthropologist.
She was supposed to go visit her family in California today, but weird circumstances - a previously-used voucher among them, which meant she didn't have a flight after all - led to her having to reschedule till tomorrow. If she follows the same trajectory I did, she'll be exhausted but able to travel by tomorrow afternoon. She's sleeping now.
& the show is done, & has been delivered to WLXU, although I didn't get a confirmation that it was received, so if it doesn't air, I'll at least be able to put it on my website on Thursday, before Christmas. I am working on next week's show now, since the station will need it before they close for Christmas week on Friday.
Meanwhile, I am trying to decide if I should try to eat a regular meal tonight. After emptying myself of everything I had in me over the weekend, I have eaten so far a banana, a handful of wheat thins, two small cups of applesauce, & two granola bars. That's not a lot for two days & my body has begun to complain a little. The only problem is, what I have to eat is sort-of-spicy Indian food. When I wrote that, I got hungry; when I got hungry, my stomach made tsk-tsking sounds at me.
What do I do? I don't go on about it here, certainly! This is a blog for a radio show, not for someone day-to-day nonsense. Just be glad that I was able to finish the show this week despite being waylaid by a virus - or be disappointed if you just wanted one lousy week of this year without an episode of Self Help Radio. I'm sure that's quite a few people.
