sick sick sick
WHY????? This always happens to me the first week of the term. No surprise really, with all the sudden stress. Fuck.

Sore throat, sinus drip (at least I can breathe) and running a very low-grade fever, enough for my lymph nodes and joints to be sore.

At least I know my body well enough to be sure when I'm getting sick. Wish I'd had some homeopathic treatment on hand to combat it as it came. Curiously enough, it didn't set upon me in sleep to leave me feeling miserable in the morning but came on yesterday evening after I took a lovey post-orgasm nap.

Sigh.

Maybe the illness explains my sporadic monetary habits. And the fact that I was swayed, almost without question, into buying a product called "Cold Snap' from Sundance Natural Food store. As far as I'm convinced, Cold Snap contains no active ingredients. In fact, it contains nothing useful. It's only purpose is to restore your body's "RIGHTEOUS CHI" so that you can be balanced and thus resist disease. Well, I'm in Tai Chi so I'm giving this Chi thing a bit of thought. That, and it's true that stress and other imbalances cause the body to f*ck up royally. The Sundance clerk who saw me fingering Cold Snap gave it his seal of approval so I bought it. I've been downing them all day. Hell, they're almost gone. But it was only $3.25.

And I was there to buy ritual candles for my fall Altar. Tells you something about my state of mind. A little loose on cash, am I?

Alas, it is now the witching hour and I still have things to do. Thankfully, they're little things. Like clipping Rupert's nails. Oh, how I lie. I still have to write my damnable pro-anorexia article, do my Japanese homework, read 60 pages philosophy, conduct an interview with a left-handed person and put my RMA'ed K7M motherboard back in its case (praying that the damn thing works).

I'm moving to Tibet and becoming a monkey monk. Then I can howl and scratch myself all day as is becoming continually more inviting.

But for now, bed. Hi ho silver, away!!
