Which one of you fockers

recommended The Fault in Their Stars?

I hope you write/act in/invent/solve/cure some amazing thing and when you're up there on stage accepting your Pulizer/Oscar/Emmy/Tony/Nobel Prize you get a raging yeast infection and have to chew on your own tongue in the middle of your speech to keep from clawing at your vagina on national television.

Then you will know how I felt, sobbing on the bus home today.

Re: Which one of you fockers

  • I was choking back sobs in a doctor's waiting room.  That is definitely a book to read in the privacy of your house - where you can just go for the ugly cry! 
  • I recommended it.

    Not sure if I'm the one who recommended it for you... but if I was, I am truly sorry. 

    If it's any comfort, I sobbed my eyes out too.

  • What is it about?
    Lilypie First Birthday tickers
  • jeh - it's a YA book, but it doesn't read that way. It's about teenagers living with cancer and the relationship between two of them in particular.

  • Oh.  Yeah, I won't be reading that.

    DON'T. I mean, I'm glad I did. It was fantastic and moving and well-written and lovely.

    But I cried BUCKETS. It's one of those books I'm so glad I read, but also kind of wish I'd never known it existed.

  • I would like to take this opportunity to say I should have heeded your warning re: the awfulness to come with this sore throat. :-( you nailed it.

    Also, I will not be reading that book!

    I was completely, emotionally exhausted for a good week after I finished that book. IDK if I recommended it to you, but I know I've recommended it on here. It's amazing 
    I like privacy. A lot.

    Oh no! Yeah, it took both of us down pretty hard here. But it was over fairly quickly, so if you're not already feeling better, you should be soon! My timeline was kind of like this:

    Sat- Wake up with sore throat, spend day battling what I thought were allergies. By that night, shivering violently and achy all over
    Sunday- Useless. All day. Useless.
    Monday- Consider going to work late. Don't make it. Spend most of day useless and napping
    Tuesday- Go back to work. Wiped out by commute in. Try to keep it together but spend most of the day in a fevery fog. Leave around 3, completely spent.
    Wednesday- Go to work normal time, feel 98% better

    Since then, it's just been this cough, but even that seems to be going away finally. Yesterday was the worst of it. My lungs were so itchy and swollen and tight feeling.

    Hope yours passes soon!
