These events occur in real time...

I'm sick.

I spent Wednesday purging my insides of whatever wretched virus was reeking havoc in there and then on my sofa wondering at what point I should go to the hospital. Thursday and Friday were spent in bed. I moved today to the sofa, but am still remaining pretty much horizontal, living off of bananas, 7-up and saltines (none of which I enjoy even when well).

I am very thankful, though, that my DVD drive, after two months, was replaced anew and returned to me on Wednesday. My ailment has given me excuse to lie around and become addicted to Season 3 of 24, bought at a nice Central Asian price of $3.

I am also thankful for the people who so sweetly provided me with bananas, 7-up, soup, chips, and drugs. I hope I didn't breathe my deadly virus on you. If so, you have 14 hours of incubation period before...oh wait. That's the TV show plot.

I think it's time for me to lie down again...
