hmm I sense a pattern emerging

mrsbrownI slept for 3 hours this afternoon. And I'm doing the last minute check to make sure that the universe hasn't changed before I go to bed. That's my excuse.
Rose is basically well. She put herself to sleep at 9ish, when usually she'll just stay awake until we put her in a dark room.
MsNotaGoth seems to be getting sicker, and mr-bassman has had a relapse and is worse now than he was a few days ago. At least, he's refusing to do anything but watch Youtube and read stories about helicopters written by Vietnam Veterans, and sleep.
And me? I haven't moved far from the couch, except for the aforementioned nap. I haven't done anything, except watch TV and read 2.5 books in the past 24 hours. And my brain is starting to get fed up. OTOH I'm sort of thinking about staying home from work tomorrow. I'm kidding myself that I'll work from home, but I've noticed today that I'm in the groove of doing nothing and staying home will just reinforce that.
There's a place my brain goes when I"ve read too many books in a short time and I haven't moved very much or achieved anything. I stop being able to do things. I stay on the couch and get crabby at the people around me for failing to wait on me hand and foot. The small child gets treated badly as I ignore her and she excalates her activities to get my attention. Also I stay up late, so that I'm tired the next day and I do it again.
I should go to work tomorrow. Otherwise, I should swap my Tuesday at home for a Monday and work on my Tuesday list, which seems to be getting longer as Midwinter comes closer. Maybe that will be enough to get me out of this flatness.
Just a note: this flatness is not necessarily a bad thing. I frequently solve emotional hurdles as I come out of this feeling. I also feel more creative and feel like it's possible that I could write a novel or something, if only I could stop refreshing my friends page and get up off the couch for some real food.
Oh also, I don't think I'm sick. Maybe one of those days with a headache I had last week or the week before really was the 'flu.
