it turns out that I'm not as slick as I thought I was and eneded up getting the Plague (i.e. the stomach flu that's going around) despite my religious hand-washing measures. it kicked in late last night and managed to wake me up from some pretty serious fever dreams oh, probably 10 times in a 12 hour period just in time to go puke my guts out. but laying in bed gave me lots of time to reflect on the times article i just read about the health crisis in angola and compare and contrast my symptoms with those of the marbury virus in great detail. i definately don't have it, but that wasn't so clear at four this morning.
the upside is that my roommates are awesome and brought me popsicles and gatorade and were willingly pressed into service as mail carriers. i also spent a lot of time on the phone with my mom talking about quilting, googlemaps and those dogs that can tell if you're going to have an epileptic seizure and bring you pillows and water and the phone. (so awesome!)
now it's time to take a shower and clean the bathroom. that much face time with the toilet made me realize how gross it really is in there.
also, i'm going to pull a BDH and award a diamond to Gatorade for going bilingual and making "mango electrico" (with appropriate accent placement). it's way better than lemon-lime.
