Still sick, but getting better.

Man! Whatever bug was floating around that Vermont ski lodge got lodged in me pretty good. I've been totally wiped out now for three solid days.

However, I now know this: Take "Thera-Flu" (or the generic equivalent thereof) immediately after you decide you're not working (or otherwise functioning as a human being) on a given day. I took some at about 4:00pm today, and immediately passed out (I was admittedly exhausted from the trip to have lunch and purchase remedies). By 6:30, when I was woken by a phone call, I felt GREAT. (By "great", I mean "no longer terrible"). I managed to respond to a couple of emails, then I slept until 2:45am, when I was woken by my own coughing and cats jumping on my head.

Had to run outside again (to buy cat chow), which wore me out (damn cold air!)... I just drank some more of the vile, vile, vile tasting Thera-Flu, and am already less-coughy, and very drowsy again. Viva medicine!
