Influenza, etc.




Well, I was exercising a far degree of unrealistic positive thinking in assuming we'd be better today... Coco's party was wonderful - our friends here are just delightful and we're very thankful for them. We had to have a lot of meds on board to ensure we didn't cough on them or totally space out... This is Influenza Day Nine, and it's actually painful, not just annoying. Eowyn and Coco are simply amazing in braving the awfulness of being so sick, as is Bens, as am I...


This song, from Rachel and Victor's wedding, is helping me through.


Blessed be your name

When there's pain in the offering

When the darkness is all I see

Blessed be your name


Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be your glorious name.


You give and take away,

You give and take away,

My heart will choose to say,

Blessed be your name.


Love you all,

Megs

PS Bens and I just watched Little Miss Sunshine and Sam and Becca's recommendation, and it was GREAT!

PPS We all watched SHREK and SHREK II and But I'm a Cheerleader at Seren's recommendation, and they are all great too! Why did I put Shrek in capitals. Dunno. But I'm not going back to change it

PPPS The pics are a little incongruous with the blog entry, but you know who they are.
PPPPS The cake. You don't know who the cake is. The cake is a MONSTER CAKE, made for me by my excellent cabinmate Caro, who lives in Germany with her Martin and her Germany. Hi Caro! Danke schon!! Our cabin, for reasons which you must imagine, was called the Monster Cabin...

I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
