hip deep in pie

On the sick front, my throat pustules have almost completely disappeared. I think it was my rigorous gargling

Steph, what you have sounds a lot like what I had that hit me when I was in NY. I was convinced while I was sick it was just a cold, but since then I'm thinking it was H1N1.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, that would be fancy, anyway.

I'm firmly of the belief that if you're going to feel really bad, it should sound bad as well. That's why I was so pissed when a doctor told me I probably didn't have the Real Flu that one time.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm on the tail end of the sick. I started prednisone right before Christmas and I think that kept it from getting horrible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I plan to start the neti part use again tomorrow morning. too many sick people right now and with everyone getting back to work, I expect to have a few sick bodies on the train and in the office.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had to use my inhaler yesterday, but I'm pretty sure that it was just because of the cold air and not because I'm getting sick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I probably didn't have the Real Flu that one time.

Conversely I was gratified to hear I had Real Flu in December. However, I'm not grumpy that I've been discomfitingly sick twice in a month. Fuck! Usually I might get sick once a year with a couple of minor throat ickles that I can chase off. I should've been more diligent with zinc, gargling and OJ on this one.

I meant, I wanted to hear it was Real Flu! I was sick for two weeks! Including fever!

Anyway, now I just have a cold. A doctor once told me that Vitamin C is prophylactic, so it wouldn't help once you're already sick. I just ate an orange anyway.

Unreal Suckass Flu! How about that?

Mine was so painful though. I was the worst sick-achiness I'd felt in probably a decade. And it. just. wouldn't. go. away.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We are home from the unfortunate wilds of family reunion in farm country-land. Home, very importantly, features double-digit temperatures and spicy food.
