Grrrgggg

It’s been a rough week over here on the left coast. Man. I’ve forgotten how much being sick messes with your head. I spent a couple days entertaining the possibility that I’d contracted Lyme disease. That would’ve been more in keeping with my history of bizarre illnesses – (anyone remember my two weeks with hoof-and-mouth a couple years ago? anyone?) – than a mainstream malady like the flu, but I’ve decided I probably only have the flu. *sigh* Miserable and not interesting. Stupid double whammy.

The rest of my life with joint pain aside, getting Lyme disease would have been satisfying. See, we went on a short hike this weekend and since I’m not a fan of hiking (or camping or outdoor non-urban sports in general), getting a major illness would have validated my prejudice, and that is always dysfunctionally welcome, right? Right.

Anyway, it looks like it was not to be and I just have a nasty flu. Rats.
