Am sick, but makes me wonder-
Do you find joy in being sick, Motes? Is there some childish 'joy' in being sick that you'd willing let yourself experience the common cold or minor flu to embrace?
Also, favorite get well food that you have when/if sick.
Yes absolutely! Once a year, every year, like clockwork, I come down with a case of the flu. Of course, a lot new uploads wind up getting 'sick' because that is precisely what they expect to happen, until they start to fall into the rhythm of being sys-side. You see that many people gathered in a public space after living through a pandemic or two and you just...get sick!
Us founder types, not so much. We have it all figured out, right? Except that sometimes I like being sick! I like it when people dote on me and put a cold washcloth on my forehead and bring me chicky schnoodle and banana and peanut butter sandwiches with the crusts cut off because my throat hurts.
Ma says she likes that, too! She likes that she can cook some chicky schnoodle with extra soft noodles and bring it to me and maybe spend a bit of time doting on me. Beholden less so. She will get tired of pretending like she is going to catch whatever I have and just flop down next to me and eat all my soup.
