Trapped!

.
.
Not me, or at least on this topic.

Have you ever simply walked into an area and found that a small creature has been trapped by your actions.  Perhaps you closed a window only to find, somehow, a bird has been caught with no way out.  Regardless of your intent, but more so it if was completely innocent and ignorant, there you stand between a small creature and their way out.  If you are anything like me, you will seek to keep the animal calm and gently open a path to freedom, while backing out.  Sure, there are some creatures which won't get such treatment, for various reasons.  But many will.  It is almost a suffering to realize the creature is in distress.  Well, I recently released just such a creature, with a smile.  There was a thankfulness though.  I know that.  Unspoken, of course.  So be it.  Freedom isn't always quite what it seems though.  There is that.

The nap was okay.  I did wake, after a snooze button or two.  I dreamed in there, complex dreams, couldn't pull anything back into the land of the living.  I've been doing that a lot, lately, actually.

I may have some kind of illness.  I am oozing nose fluid as if I had eaten hot peppers.  No other symptoms are noticeable, well, except for exhaustion.  I've probably gone through a box and a half of facial tissue in the last two days.  I can't figure out where all that mucus is coming!  It started out a bit better today.  It has devolved, if not to as bad as it was yesterday.  No pain in the sinus areas, so I am probably keeping ahead of it.  But, sheesh, it sure is annoying.  I have to wonder what the problem is.  It seems more like dust has kicked up.

I honestly don't know if I will get a thing done today.  I did set the dishes to a fresh soak.  But that honestly might be all that I get done.  Just staying awake until later, into early evening, is going to be an absolute bear.  An hour or two and I think I will be back in bed.  The gravity of something is yanking me back down, hard, fast.  Later, or... maybe good night already.

  1. Doom,
    It sounds as if you might becoming down with a sinus infection. That would certainly explain the exhaustion.
    The one time I didn't take an antibiotic it took me over a month to get rid of it.

    I watched a good bit of your Lilith video. I first read about Lilith in my 20s and have come across similar information as contained in this video. She certainly was and still is a muse for artists.

  2. Ooh. If that's the thing going around that knocked me down last week, well brace yersself for a humdinger. I ended up on antibiotics to clear the secondary bacterial infection that set into my sinuses and lungs after the main viral infection cleared.

  3. Oh? Well, if that is an infection thing, then... But I get this several times a year. Usually doesn't make me tired like that though. But it almost always goes away in hours to a few days. I just thought it was dust or some odd winter allergy season or such.

  4. Oh, she is much more than that, foam. No more real than angels, though, and of course.

    Some significant number of women are her daughters, as well. That number varies, it's been lower, perhaps higher as civilizations have hit their stride, and then as they fall, being reduced during and after the fall, cyclically, you know. Civilization doesn't usually end up being any better for women than it does for men. Turning both into beasts, and worse. I was glad to see my church is ramping the creation of exorcist posts throughout the dioceses.

    Wasn't sure if this socialist pope was going to throttle that. Then again, it might be out of his hands, or maybe considered too small of an annoyance to deal with while he is busy stomping on the human right to not have earnings stolen by the state for no good reason. He's a busy little man these days. Getting redistribution support going, full tilt.

  5. The fact that you are so exhausted might indicate that it has turned into an infection.

  6. Could be. Exhaustion comes and goes, though, with or without anything else. All symptoms are gone, except exhaustion, at this point, so. I would have a hard time believing medicine, urhm, more medicine, might help, but doubt if I could make it to see a doctor anyway. And, from what I have seen, added medicine can worsen exhaustion, for me, including antibiotics, or seem to do so. With the V.A., seeing a doctor on short notice isn't usually possible, save through the emergency room, which I am loath to use. I have had docs switched every six months to a year, so I never really get to know my doc. Doesn't help, though their attitudes often don't help either.
