Primus' "Jerry was a Racecar Driver" came on and the Rod Stewart stunt double at the bar

The fever stayed broken for twenty-four hours now. It doesn't hurt to swallow and I actually ate whole food in regular sized meals for lunch & dinner.

On the plus side, I've offered up my services as designated driver NYE since I'm still got five more days of medicine to finish.
