I am fully grossed out by myself.
I've never in my life had it.
And just like all the other bodily maladies that I thought would never affect personally until one day they did, I am, like I said, revolted.
This particular problem is compounded with my flu.
It's taken me getting it to realize I haven't had the real flu for a really really long time. I can't even remember when, but I was probably a kid.
It's day 6 of the flu. With enough caffeine and ibuprofen in the afternoons I can kinda function normally. But night and mornings, I wish there was a socially acceptable way to just knock oneself out. Each day the virus finds new areas to invade. This morning I woke up and (in addtion to my disgusting eye) my ear was throbbing. Novel.
But I wake up each morning and say "you're not throwing up, thank God. Thank God you're not barfing." Also followed by "you don't live in sub saharan Africa, you have a bed, a drug store, and you don't have to walk 15 miles to get water everyday." So I'm thankful for that too.
