July 21, Summer, year 20

Augh, what a day to get sick! My cold finally caught up with me… and I had to ask Uncle T to stand in for me at the Chicken festival!

I was so excited about entering Lirin too… Man this sucks! Enforced bedrest is the last thing I need now! Though from the look Uncle T gave me, it doesn't appear as thought I get much of a choice.

I guess it'll make the cats happy though, they love it when I get stuck indoors now. I'm a little worried about Serri though… She's been acting funny lately. And not the sort of funny that I'm used to, what with cats and going into heat.

She's gotten rather fat though, so it might just be that she's got kittens in her again. That always slows her down. And it's been a while since there were kittens here on the farm, so it's a pretty cool concept!

I don't know what to do with myself today… being sick really sucks, and I don't want to get even more sick by disobeying Uncle T, so I can't go out and do what I normally do.

I guess I'm just going to be re-reading stuff today, and watching TV to keep me from wondering about whether Lirin's doing good in the judging.

At least it's not like in Mineral Town, with the weird Chicken Sumo. I've never really understood how that works… Scaring other chickens out of the ring or something like that.

But you know, that's not Sumo…. Agh, trying to think about this with a fever isn't easy. Sumo is like… hehehehe… Wow, my brain comes up with ridiculous crap when I'm sick. I'd forgotten about that. Must purge that image, otherwise I'll never be able to look at Skye without bursting into laughter again.

Oh jeeze, that's not much better brain! From Sumo-Skye to fancy clothes-Skye! What the heck?!

…I think I'm just going to nap. My cats are staring at me.

Phew, I feel much better now. Apparently Lirin took second place too! How's that for awesome?

Had some weird dreams too… something about a pure white rose and the Swallowtail butterflies. It was such a pretty rose too, it almost seemed to glow… kinda like the moon.

Haaahhh… I wonder what it would smell like? It looked so pretty, I bet it smells nice. I've been trying to think if I've seen a flower like that anywhere, but apparently the fever's still eating my brains, because I can't think of anything so pretty, other than the moon.

And flowers do not grow on the moon. No more than people can actually live on it, no matter what the legends say. Phooo…

Okay, yeah, my brain still won't shut up! Time to watch TV, eat, assure Uncle T I'm being a good girl, and then… well, we'll see. Probably more sleep though.

Monkeys.
