It’s not fun being sick and at home. I find that I do have the most considerate roomie, though.
Scene: past midnight earlier this week. I am in my room tinkering on my laptop when he arrives home.
Jason: Wait a minute, are you awake?
Jason: Am I being semi-quiet for no reason? 
Courtney: yeah i’m in bed with the lappy
IRL (like, spoken, with voices and stuff):
Jason: Hello!
Courtney (raspy voice): Hi… *cough*
Jason: Oh, gosh.
Jason: You don’t sound so good.
Jason: Can I get you some tea?
Jason: Zinc?
Jason: Vitamin C?
Courtney: hee, i’m ok, thx
Jason: okiedoke.
*cough, cough…*
Jason: Ach, pobrecita.
Courtney: yah, I’m in quarantine :/
Jason: 
We communicate well.

incapacitated:
adj 1: lacking in or deprived of strength or power; “lying ill and helpless” [syn: helpless] 2: incapacitated by injury or illness [syn: disabled, handicapped]
I really don’t like being sick. I’ve been pretty much incapacitated for the past 36 hours, fighting this nasty bug, complete with body aches, sore throat and sinus congestion.
Luckily, I had meetings here in The City yesterday morning, which enabled me to go home right after and collapse in bed (or rather, lie in bed with the laptop). Today, I was either in bed or on the futon in the living room for most of the day. Stayed pretty low-key… e-mails, IMs, phone calls. Not really a lot of fun, I felt like I could be doing something more, but I resisted the urge to get up and attempt to be more productive. Gotta rest up.
I should be past my contagious stage tomorrow, so I hope to go to work to catch up on some things, attend our big company meeting and then partake in the cheesy geeky goodness that is Web 1.0.
