Day Five: Cereal for Breakfast!

Wake up, roll out of bed.  Present my ear to the nurse like a trophy so she can take my temperature.  36.3’ (97.4f).  

Felt pretty nauseous yesterday and a little out of it.  That kind of crappy disconnected ‘watching yourself from the 3rd person perspective’ as if you’re head’s floating above you.  I doubt it was the pig flu, but rather the Tamiflu.  I remember feeling similar last year when I had to take ten days worth of Zithromax over Christmas break because my quack doctor hadn’t given me enough antibiotics for my sinus infection and it ended out going resistant.  Medications suck.

In other news, there’s more about us up Xinhua news.  Haven’t seen any U.S. news rags picking up the story but still good to see some mentions.

Looks like it’s going to be a warm day.  I hope they turn the AC on.
