So it’s 5 in the morning and I’ve been awake for two hours. I’ve been sick for two days and not feeling any better. At 3 this morning I woke up after I puked on myself in bed. I’ve never taken a shower and done laundry at 4 am before but it’s pretty refreshing. The television options at this time of day aren’t great. I’m exhausted but I can’t sleep. My dog is wondering what the fuck is wrong with me. None of the medicine I’ve taken so far helps. It’s been a long time since I was this sick, but when it came back, it really hit me with a vengeance.

Update: Well I worked on Friday, but Saturday hit me like a truck. I’ve got a fever, and more cowbell is not going to help.

    You’ve been playing with Bootcamp haven’t you? You should have read the disclaimer:

    Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world.

    Hang in there pal.

    You’re just struggling regularly breathing that southern redneck air again. Once your body adjusts to it you’ll be fine.

    I remember when Maggie had that problem, we took her to the vet, and they didn’t know what was wrong with her. The medicine didn’t work either.

    Moral of the story: Become a scientologist and eat baby placentas.

    Methinks the body is having a problem readjusting to whatever pollutants are in the air in the South. The air can’t possibly be as nice there as it is in Baltimore. ;-)

    Feel better, Matt.
