Writing While Sick

I get sick a lot, so I'll have to find a way to write through the malaise. I'm not interested in excuses, I have a career to drag out of the darkness and into the light of fame, fortune, and fun. The anti-excuses:

Prevention
I should exercise more and drink slightly less.
Ignoring The Problem
Work it off!
Writing With My Eyes Closed
I'll just write by tapping away at the keyboard without looking at the screen, that way the damn sun won't get in the way of my masterpiece.
Having a Live-In Nurse
Oh, that won't help.
Trying SCIENCE!
Vitamin C, take my troubles away!
Thinking About the Good Times
It was fun, those days of yore when I was not sick. I'd try to remember them, but I'm too sick.
Writing Horror 
Where...where a lot of people are sick?
Trying Too Hard
Nobody never died of no overwork.
Not Answering The Phone
Just a good idea in general, really.

Oog.

I guess I'll go ask the Checker King what to do. Again.

In other news, I've been throwing myself into Scribus (page layout) in conjunction with Inkscape (vector graphics). I'm trying to format up a magazine for printing. Or anything really, I just want to be competent.

Is this a harbinger of things to come?

No.

Words? Yes
Short Story "An Aesop Amidst the Fairy Dust", in which pizza is made for fairies.
Short Story "Players of the Nuclear Theremin", in which thereminers are put to useful purposes.
Short Story "All the Squirrels Have Gone", in which squirrels make no appearance.
Short Story "Monsieur Dantès' Inferno", in which a steampunk helicopter causes a stir.
Short Story "Estevanico", in which freedom comes at a price.
