Still feeling a bit queasy/headachy/vague. It's a pity there isn't some sort of universal scale that you can chart these things on. Then you could tick a dozen boxes, position yourself on it, and say, "Look! I am ill!" without having to worry about shades of personal opinion, whether you're exaggerating it, or if you should just be getting on with things and not paying so much attention to yourself.

Spent a while reorganising bead and fabric stashes. Torn between (a) guilt, (b) the feeling that I should get down and make more stuff, (c) unadulterated gloating, because it is so pretty.

Heaven—Haven

I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.

And I have asked to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.

-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

Gloat, gloat! Also, I hope you get better soon. The "kinda sick but not deathly so" is terribly frustrating.

Fingers crossed that we both feel better, and soon.
