Aug. 31st, 2011 07:29 pmToday I'm taking most of an evening off to try to beat this chest infection. I'm very tired of it! Possibly if I had done less teaching and etc this last week I would be well already, but some things are not rearrangeable.
This morning we did quantum physics and bush ballads. I decided that a bush ballad was the perfect form to express the sad tale of a man called Einstein, who wanted so desperately to prove Planck wrong and ended up with a Nobel Prize for proving him right. My students also wrote poetry about Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, because I decided that my photos of the town were inspirational (this was possibly fever speaking). They asked where they could buy the book containing the photos, so either they are very polite students (which they are) or they also think those photos are cool. I promised I'd see if I could make them purchaseable. I don't know if I can. We'll see.
Not tonight, though. Tonight I'm taking my medicine, watching a bit of trashy TV and then staying warm in bed and frightening away these aches and pains. Not all of it is the chest infection - some is my regular ailments. I'm thinking of exorcising those ailments. The trouble is, for a Jewish exorcism, you need a minyan. Just picturing it amuses me. An ultra-orthdox minyan telling hormonal imbalances to balance and nagging aches to vanish never to return and scolding IBS and PCOS most severely ...
