As I wrote here one week ago, I have the flu and "I don't feel much like doing anything including blogging, so this blog will be absent for a few days until this blows over."
I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time, but I am still suffering from the symptoms of the flu.
I sleep a lot and I mean A LOT! Yet, I still feel tired all my waking hours. So this is going to take longer than I expected to get over.
Anyway, thank you for all your comments and e-mails expressing your concerns about my health.

Dear Stana,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you’re improving, albeit still in the throes of the flu. I’m guessing you’re happy you’re retired. If you were still working, this devastating flu would really disrupt your life even more. With the deadlines that are placed on employees, there would have been a lot of stressful “catch up” work when you would have returned to your job.
Love,
Sheila.
Hope you continue to feel better! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the Lifshitz article. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHere is another article on Lifshitz from the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/feb/23/cross-dressers-gender-photographers-gallery-london
DeleteThe key to this flu seems to be getting plenty of rest even when you start to feel a little better. So take it easy Stana.
ReplyDeleteRelieved you are slowly returning to the land of the living Stana. I have been somewhat concerned.
ReplyDeleteIt is useful that you gave a link to the Huck article on the Lifshitz exhibition. The linked page has a link to the Photographers' Gallery, London, UK, for those who are able to get there. I put it in my diary yesterday and have a trip planned which I am really looking forward to. A pictorial history of Femulation?
Love
Melissa
PS Take your time with your recovery and flu aftermath.
Thankful you're getting better - don't jump back into the daily excitement too soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for finding/sharing this article. I adore history and this is an area rarely covered.
