take care.

dear friend:

i am so so so very sorry that you are feeling so yucky. 

sometimes - just sometimes being sick can be a blessing. 

a chance to rest up and take care of you. 

or even better - let everyone else take care of you. 

hopefully you're on the mend.

and hopefully you'll feel better than ever after a few good long days tucked cozy in your bed. 

i am thinking of you.

dear friend,

pull your covers in tight. put warm socks on your feets.

and ask your love to make you this:

hot hot water. (preferably from a shiny turquoise tea kettle)

 a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a spoonful of honey.

stir it up and sip it slow.

all my love,

lin
