PLAGUED AND WHAT NOT.....

I've been infected with some kind of avian flu for the last 4 days. I have no idea how i got it, but i'm convinced that I have seen g-d or something equally scary in my delirious state. Before I begin I must go back a week and share a lil something with you all.

Last Friday night I went to my parents for dinner and my sister in law and brother were there. She was getting over bronchitis and was spending the weekend ingesting halls and sucking down an incestuous amount of soup in our presence. I love her to death and she always cracks me up. So anyway, shes sitting on the couch in all black with her own box of tissues. I ask my mother why she isnt wearing a mask or a sick patient tee shirt. My mom tells me to get a life and to move on. Every now and then T lets out a heave and has us all running for cover. She tells us to shut up and we move on. My brother tells us that we have seen nothing yet.. Suddenly, T reaches into her box o surprises ( tissue box) which is stuffed with all the sick necessities, and whips out some kind of heart monitor. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? I scream in hysteria as I ducked for cover.. The whole family fell silent. She takes this wand connected to a chord that connects to a box and proceeds to take her temperature. It was the most dramatic thing I have ever seen in my life. WHAT?? she asks.. WHAT? why do you have that device, cant a simple digital thermometer do the job?? She just rolls her eyes and tells me to shut up. My father was doubled over in laughter. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE GIRL. It doesn't stop there.. My brother explains that she takes her temp every 10 minutes. Oh my G I still laugh every time I visualize it. T took her temperature a good 20 times.. It was definitely an entertaining 24 hrs with her. The best part was when she was moaning that she had 100.F and my sister and I were telling her that that wasn't really fever. She was convinced that we were heartless and wrong. Im glad she's feeling better. My mother begged her to leave her tissue box at her house so that she can have it bronze dusted like a babies first shoes, she sadly declined and lugged her tissue box all the way back to the city.. Love you Tookie T..

K, so back to me. Ive been neglecting my blog because I have seriously been so ill that I couldn't even see straight. Today is the first day I can actually read and answer the phone without sounding like a gremlin. Since tuesday I've had 102-103F. Im tough but this was another level of sickness. I haven't been this sick since I was 12. How I made it home on tuesday after class is a miracle. Today I woke up and it was friday. I still have fever and my color is non existent. Im kinda wishing I had that thermometer T had, but- whatever. Cant steal her thunder. Holding the remote was a task. Getting to the bathroom took hrs of planning, I reek of lysol, and know the complete NBC daytime lineup. I know you're all getting really turned on by this. One more thing. Vic's vapor rub is my official new musk. HAHAHAHA. Look at this- Im cracking myself up..

Thank you to everyone who called me and continued to call me even though I couldn't even answer the phone. Thanks for offering to hang out with and to those who said they'd "help" take my codeine cough medicine, I did just fine without you all.. heeeheee. Another level of sedation.

So a few of you have asked me how I did on that midterm that I was so nervous about.. Wellll I got an 84. So I am now one of those people that I officially couldn't stand growing up on school. (I know S, you pointed that out for me- thanks)

Once I am somewhat coherent again I will give you some new tunes to listen to. There are so many new great albums out. I really need to catch up on here.
