I’ve been sick. I would have mentioned it here before, except I seemed to be a bit in denial and tried to work (and travel) right through it, which only made it worse.

Today, for the first time in ten days, my head doesn’t feel like a lead balloon sitting on top of a body that was being controlled by alien forces. Ah, how much I’m appreciating my health today. You don’t realize how good you have it until you’re sitting sick in bed wondering how hard it could be to get out and being completely unable to do so.

I’ve mentioned before how sick I get when I travel, but over the last couple of years, it just seems to be getting progressively worse. I start panicking and getting nausea two days in advance of any travel, and while I know it’s in my head, it leads to a massive build up, which means I get pretty sick when I do leave the house.

I’m someone who loves to visit new places, so this fear of getting in a car or on a plane is something I’d like to get over quickly. But I have no idea what I’m dealing with here. Anyone else know what this is or why I become a whimpering hyperventilating idiot each time I’m asked to board a plane? Thought I’d throw it out there for the more experienced among us.

In more positive news, our wedding invitations have arrived! Not long to go now (a month or so), and I have to say, while the wedding is all fine and dandy, we’re both really looking forward to the marriage. The wedding, the way we see it, is just a necessity to get us there, but we’re not that fussed about it. It’s been easy planning it (now more than ever, I don’t get why people have so much angst about weddings) and I guess all that’s left to do is show up and have fun. Oh, and get the final fitting for our outfits. My lovely mother-in-law-to-be bought me my wedding dress, and I think we did good in that department, if I may say so myself.

In the meantime, I’ve got about four deadlines, another week of travel coming up, and queries to send. Can’t say it’s ever boring around here.
