Here I am...

I've spent the last couple of days being sick--sore throat, headache, low-grade temp, cough. I think I caught it from the sick kids at the dr.'s office. *sigh* I've been wanting to write, but just can't seem to get my brain around it. I can't concentrate for anything.

And today we had the electricians over. And tomorrow. And probably the next day. They were here for about 5 hours today, and put it two plugs, and fixed two. They got a lot more done Friday than today. But of course I couldn't get much rest with them in the house. Then the plumbers are supposed to come when the electricians are done.

On the brighter side, danachan has posted a really delightful AU ficlet--the precursor, I hope to many more in that AU! If you haven't seen it, it's at

The Manner of His Return

It's G rated, and a surprise, so I'm not going to say more about it.

And as I sit here, with "Offbeat America" on TV in the background, I hear them say "hobbit-hole". Some guy built one in his backyard...

Cool.

I do hope you feel better. It is hard to rest with others in the house. Sounds as if the work is coming along though. I popped over and read Dana's fiction and I am really curious. That is quite an interesting beginning.

Oh no! *offers tea and tissues* It's SO hard to rest when there are people clomping through your house. :(

"What's wrong, Pip?" Merry said concerned.

"Dreamflower's sick." Pippin looked at his cousin mournfully.

"Oh, no!" Hastily Merry bundled blankets and pillows into a ball, added vegetables for making soup and leaves for tea and placed it all in a carryall. "Let's go! She's going to need some hobbits to look after her and make sure she rests and gets well fast."

((((hobbit snuggles))))

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie!
