Okay, well, I am still in bed…but at least I am now able TO SIT UP IN BED. This week of HIDEOUS AFFLICTION has been UNPRECEDENTED and STRICTLY OFF TRACK. To my oh, so understanding writing partner, the oh, so awesome journalist with whom I had to cancel an interview, and my oh, so poor unfortunate husband and gusband for having to endure a largely unconscious wife and slusband…my MOST SINCERE APOLOGIES.
On the other hand, thanks be to gaud and everybody for your lovely thoughts of healing and fancy suggestions for creative flu curatives! Special thanks go out to Netflix for allowing me to watch “Valley of the Dolls” on a fabulous, feverish, never-ending loop; Starbucks Coffee for their delicious, life-giving soy lattes which were procured and hand-delivered unto me by numerous, adorable, severely put-upon offspring; The MIGHTY Proctor and Gamble Company, for both their DIGNITY-RESTORING BABY WIPES and their magickal shamanic potion, NyQuil, which brings on dreams and visions that can and will change the world (well, MY world, anyway); and the noble and imperious Czarina Pearlina — for sitting vigil on my pillow as I wind and wander my way back to blistering good health.
I shall return!

About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
