sickness in a foreign land

Feb 20, 2009 18:27

Sickness in a foreign land is not enjoyable. I wisely brought my favorite cold remedies, nyquil and dayquil, but some things could not be brought. Like, my mom, or chicken soup that is guaranteed to have no tripe in it.

They also do not have ginger ale, or tissues with aloe--not that I have found. Bear in mind of course, that I cant read Korean, so unless something states it's purpose clearly either in English or in body language, I won't buy it.

I went home yesterday halfway through work, and I should still be out, but I'm going to stay. Luckily it's Friday.

In less pleasant news, the good ship My Novel has been running out of steam, and my unblemished record of 500+ words a day was broken, first by computer issues, then my the wicked influenza. Maybe this weekend I'll try to muscle down and get to it, etc.

In the meantime, I am counting down the minutes before I can go home. (both for the day and for the year.)

Don't get me wrong, I feel alright, but alright-for-someone-with-the-'flu... so not great.
