Why the hell it means so much to me

On the second day of my stomach flu, my true love brought to me a ninety-five-year-old timetable for the Boston and Albany Railroad.

(Today was actually, noticeably better. I'm still more or less on liquids, but miso soup, goat's milk custard, and beef broth are a substantive improvement on ginger beer. My fever came down a full degree. I no longer feel as though my only options are active nausea or exhaustion.)

The timetable is "Corrected to June 29, 1919." [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel picked it up on his way home from a recording session at Harvard. I needed information on B&M's Western Division for a story, but it was also just a wonderful thing to be handed among the new bottles of ginger beer and seltzer.

I shall now attempt to sleep the same number of hours as last night, only hurting much less.
