alls i know is - it is not beiber fever.

hey! i've been sick. did you miss me?

who does that? who makes blogs into personal conversations? apparently, quite a few folks. i read this article in the new york times and while i would not have said that i am The Most Original Writer Ever, i was a bit disconcerted to learn that i am somewhat of a cliché. however, one bit of encouragement arose: i am a gen-x or gen-y cliché, and not like a baby boomer cliché. which is of course appropriate since i am not a baby boomer nor should i in any way be confused with that group. just nice to not be classified with the fogies.

so anyway, i have been sick. got a headache friday and nothing would kick it and got more and more tired and then slept like... 18 hours sunday-monday and then went to the doctor on monday which was only yesterday. huh. time is so weird when you're sick. anyway the doc said it's a mystery and did some tests and based on the results the diagnosis is viral infection which could mean a lot of things. doc said to stay away from people, which is just such a burden on me (haha), because firstly i could be contagious but secondly i could catch something else. turns out when you get a viral infection sometimes that lowers your guard to a bacterial infection, so you'll think you are having a relapse but you've really contracted something else. so, i'll be working at home for the remainder of the week and just thanking goodness that that's okay with my boss.

okay, sorry but i gotta take a nap now.
