woozingly done

and here i thought i was getting better. last night the kid and i rented the zodiac, a great movie, and i went to bed feeling alright.

this morning my nightmare began, i couldn't sleep from about 7am, and until 6pm i couldn't get out of bed without feeling nauseous and feint. i tried eating, that didn't go so well, and i lay in bed either shivering or sweating.

today sucked.

when i eventually could get out of bed and took a much-needed shower, i decided that the best course of action was to head on down to the city officer to have myself checked out.

the good news is that the new clinic is much easier for me to get to from home (one bus), the bad news is that i had to get all the way to the old one to find that out. luckily i was (still am) wearing two pairs of pants, but it was still a very cold walk.

the new clinic was crowded but we were dealt with fairly quickly. i hate the fact that most israelis just don't get the whole covering-your-mouth-when-you-cough thing. some of them give a symbolic half-raise of the arm, but in general not even that.
a couple of hours later i walked out with two days of sick leave in hand, which is a bit of a bitch because tomorrow was supposed to be a big day for me at work.

i just spoke to my mum, and am ready to get back to bed.

the gizmodo guys are real assholes. only slightly better than the polish jerk.

this is similar to an idea i had years ago - this is what happens when somebody with cash is listening. everyone i spoke to told me i was being an idiot.

woven speakers? i'm still having difficulty with the kids ghetto-blasting their cellphones.

if ever there was a case for evolution not being valid, these bumpkins are it.

if trent's disappointed, i'm disappointed.
