i’m not dead. i just play dead on the internet.

Filed under: angsty, really not a super crucial topic, ocean lung — meg @ 11:31 am

Yes, I promise, I’m still alive.

My lack of motivation to post has dug in about as deeply as my cough, though, which has led to the longest run of silence here since I started my blog.

Oops.

Pneumonia isn’t THAT big a deal. Really. The word freaks people out, but the reality is doable.

Although I still have it, and that’s more than a little irritating.

Anyway.

How are you? How have things been going? How are the kids? The wife/husband? Seen any good movies lately?

Right.

What have I been up to? Well. Other than hacking up a lung, I’ve been busy with work and the occasional hockey game (which I’ll be writing about later today) and doing a little bit of reorganizing/decorating/throwing massive amounts of stuff into the garbage around my house to slough a little dead weight off of my life.

I’d like to be working on the OTHER dead weight, too, but if I so much as move my arms too quickly, I’m coughing.

Charming.

But man, am I restless. Is it being sick? Is it that my birthday is coming up?

Is it that I’m CRAZY??

I’m not sure.

But enough about me. How are YOU?

    I think it’s a little of all three. And I’m great. Glad to see you’re well enough to write.

    And hurry with the next one: I can’t wait for the hockey post!! :)

    I’m very well indeed, especially my Caps are in the playoffs! (Sorry about the Canucks, really I am.) And yes, I saw Leatherheads this weekend, and it was good. I mean, George Clooney and John Krazinski!

    I think it’s the birthday thing. Mines in a week, and I can hardly contain myself. I’m glad you aren’t dead though, I was starting to worry. Get better Meg!

    funny just as i was thinking … “is it possible to DIE from Pneumonia???” and “oh my goodness! what would happen to me if meg died!?!?!?!” you posted this post and although my world hadnt really quite come to a halt you made it spin all that much more normally and happier!
    i am glad to hear that your all right and getting better… altho i am worried about the water in the lungs factor.

    oh! and i’m doin fine. kind of snickering inside that the canucks lost. but thats just me.

    The wife is good. The husband and I are not talking.

    I figured you were out, but not down. Hope you feel better soon.

    Hope you’re feeling better soon!

    I’m good. Tired, but good. I need to get back into my habit of going to bed early. All these late nights are killing me!

    I’ve had pneumonia before, but I think that stomach flu trumps pneumonia any day! I’ve been feeling nauseous for about 16 excruciating hours now and am about to go crazy… Write me somethin’ funny, Meg, please??
    Feel better soon.

  8. Debbie Says:

    Sounds like you are starting to get well. That is when I start getting restless.

  9. Raul Says:

    Ummmm. I am fine, Meg, thanks, and you? Just have a horrible headache. Any suggestions on how to beat it? As in, REALLY horrible headache.

    BTW, do you mind if I follow you on Twitter or will that sound creepy? I mean, I have some bloggers who have met me in person who will vouch that I am the sweetest non-geeky blogger in Vancouver, hands down! :D
