My Lady of the Lantern

It started with my mother looking at me last night and commenting: ‘ Why do you look so yellow? ’…that verbal stir quite permanently disturbed my composure…. I was all set to give my holy fluid to a path lab today for confirming what the discussion was indicating – Jaundice …. Anyways, last night it was settled that she would observe me today morning, in the sunlight and make further judgement about whether I really looked like it. But the word Jaundice clung onto my psyche. Can you believe that one of the questions I asked her was whether I could have Jaundice and also be preggers at the same time? Then came sleep time…my favourite time. Well, hubby dear had already been on the bed for about 30 minutes when I trudged into the room…I took a bath and crashed onto my bed….with Jaundice Jaundice Jaundice running like a one word record in my brain. I went off to sleep. And I dreamt, I was pregnant and jaundiced . And I had a big belly and Jaundice …and my baby was fine, but I had Jaundi...
