Games Fever

Forget that last one I wrote about – this current virus is ‘hardcore’ as they say on the streets when discussing viral infections, as you know. I support the supposition that the Commonwealth Games is providing elite pathogens from every country in the Commonwealth to try their vile sport on my home turf, that's the body of S. Gregory Hedgehog.

Shantoozy got it Sunday morning, in the wee hours. Couldn’t stop sporadically vomiting, etc. Then I got it, Tuesday morning, wee hours. A wrenching stomach expulsion of violent force. Locum came soon after and gave me an injection to stop the vomiting but, arghh, the agony of that night, trying to get to sleep, my body aching horrifically! I’ve been sweating it out since; had feverish images of Eisenhower and Stalin and Hitler in my brain; a mammoth headache yesterday but that’s gone now and hopefully won’t come back. I couldn’t even really watch ‘The Simpsons’ last night and I’ve got to be pretty dang ill for that to happen.

No work on ‘Envelope’ since. I’ve got to get an extension on the uni. assignment due tomorrow. I certainly can’t keep reading the Ernest Hemingway book. It’s very difficult to get things done when your body accepts viruses so often, and on top of all the other ailments!

Today I am feeling somewhat better, and hence this lil' blog post, but it’s still a struggle to get through each hour. Well, that’s an improvement from each second. But, what the hay, I just have to see it through and get done what I can when I can, I suppose.

I tell you the same thing I told Shantoozy...
:(
Rest, plenty of fluids, and when you THINK you're all better, more rest and more fluids.

I just caught a cold. My head feels woogy.

DN: Woogy? Sorry to hear that, it sounds oogy.

Thanks for the advice. Same for you. (So I guess that means take your own medicine, quite literally. Hee-hee.)

R: Just finished a cup of very nice Japanese green tea before I read your comment!
