hot water is a commodity

I'm sick.
Yes, I know this is not news for the world or indeed, the world wide web, but I felt a strong urge to share.
I actually threw up on Sunday, right after breakfast. I was already feeling rather ill and decided it was in my best interest to *not* eat anything solid especially as the food isn't good to begin with. In all I had a half a cup of hot water, which I expelled to the right of the sidewalk in the grass after sitting there for what seemed like a good ten minutes.
I hate being sick. Now I am not as naseous and can keep food down but I have a splitting headache in my right temple and my eye feels like it needs to be ripped out and massaged gently or something radicaly insane like that.
I spent a good 20 minutes in the shower simply sitting there with the hot water pelting my back. That feels *great* when you are sick. Though I did start to feel guilty about the fact that I was wasting water when there are places in the world where water is in a shortage.
I think I was delirious.

it's really brandy writing this, but you know how this gayness acts up...anywho, sorry to hear you're sick as well as the explicit extent to which that is so. i hope you get better soon enough and here's a "chickensoupy" quote to cheer ya up (seeing as how i can't send you ACTUAL soup:)
"Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing"-Redd Foxx.
Okay, it wasn't at all "chickensoupy" but i thought you might like to hate on the healthy for a brief instant. I would.

Danke, danke!
I am all better after two days of practically nothing but sleep. Today for breakfast I had eggs, toast, and cereal: much more than the half cup of hot water on Sunday.
Thanks for the concern and the soup! ;)
