When Pigs Flu…
It’s been one week and two days since I acquired H1N1 and there’s still no end in sight. So I thought I would attempt to enumerate the ways I’ve spent my time. It will be hard to believe how much productivity I’ve packed into 10 days, but you’ll have to trust me.
30: cups of lemon ginger tea consumed.
1.5: boxes of cold medicine ingested.
12: episodes of Dr. Who watched (Thank you, Thom).
3: ways I tried to use Vick’s VapoRub to ease my symptoms (all abject failures).
2: number of times I nearly fainted.
19: hours of bad movies and worse TV I’ve watched on my computer.
103: highest I clocked my fever.
20: times I called my mom to complain.
40: times I called Thom to complain.
130: dollars it cost me when in my flu-induced stupor I forgot about street cleaning and therefore car towing.
6: times I traveled to the end of the internets and back.
