i be illin

good song from run dmc.

not a great way to spend my week of vacation. i'm ill. i've got the summer cold. first time i can remember having a cold in the middle of summer. a summer that is consistently 90F and humid as the inside of a whale. i think of humidity when i think of jonah, dont you? oh excuse me bible police, big fish. i'm probably wrong on that too, arent i? it's one of those colds that is affecting one side of my face at a time. my left nostril is runny as well as my left eye is watery. then i bet it's going to switch over to my right side for 2 more days before i start feeling better. or maybe it's not a cold. maybe it's the first sign of neurological agent attack? special agent that affects one side of my face. bird flu? west niles? i'd hate to be stuck at home all week due to my illness. i need to get better and outta here.

no one that i know seem to know how to call to the states using a international cell phone card. if you have any information on how to do this, please let me know.

by the way, i was sorta forced to take vacation because i was about to lose some vacation days next month. and there's a visiting doc from a reserve unit that wanted to see patients. we didnt have room to have 3 of us there. turned out to be good timing. oh yeah, koolaid.
