Oh God, it's a disaster...

I tell you. An absolute, bloody disaster.

I'm supposed to be working. I have a book to write, I have a major long chapter all planned out and ready to get on with.But...

I was supposed to go to acupuncture this morning - never made it (again) because Mark, my beloved, has (we think) accidentally ingested a tiny quantity of washing powder. O:!!!! He was really ill last night; terrible stomach pains and diarrhoea. I wanted him to go to A&E but he wouldn't. This morning, he's a lot better, but he still has a sore stomach and loose bowels and is not really over it. My nerves are in shreds, I tell you.

But by ten O clockish, he seemed more or less OK, and is laying on the bed as I write, eating crisps and watching The House Detectives, so, thinking this was a great opportunity to finish this chapter, I powered up the laptop up, fully intending to work and I find -  LJ is FULL of new fic, and interesting discussions and meta, and The Eighth Doctor and Fitz..
and I HAVE to tear myself away and GET ON WITH SOME WORK; but how...?

Please. Help. Help me resist the temptations, for they are many.

How on earth did he swallow washing powder? On second thoughts, don't answer that as I don't want to distract you from your work. Go, shoo!

(Hope he's feeling better in tomorrow)

A book to write? Oh, you mean the last chapter of Carthage *grin*

Sorry, I guess I'm not being much help in the getting on with work department. But I'm glad to hear Mark is feeling better...

God, that's scary - so small an amount to cause such a violent reaction. Hope the poor man is feeling ok now - if he's getting junk food down, that's got to be a good sign *g*.

And I'm no help with your temptation issues either - I've just blown a raspberry at the whole work concept and started my weekend early...::bounces:: I'm not a good influence *hg*

Glad Mark is feeling better. What a fright you both had. Scary stuff.

Sending calming and healing vibes your way.

*hugs*

God! I can vividly imagine the sorrow you've been in and I'm so glad that he's feeling better by now.

Sorry, but you REALLY don't want to ask ME to help you resist temptation. I'm with Oscar Wilde when he said, "I can resist everything but temptation!".

I WILL wish you good luck in your endeavours and hope that Mark is feeling a whole lot better VERY soon! =>}

Glad to read that Mark is feeling better and that you got your chapter done. I will not be so nonchalant about washing powder ever again.

Now it's time for the lovely new FIC! Yay for all the new fic I found out there. Work? Pffffbbbt. (I so need an icon for that)

I'm sorry this happened to you both and I'm glad that Mark is feeling better. Stomachy things like that are most unpleasant (says she of salmonella fame) and he so has my sympathy. So do you for your day going to pot and the worry.
Take care
::hugs::
