the whole medicine cabinet

it's been a long time since i've had the flu. i stay pretty healthy, even though i don't take my vitamin c nearly as often as my mother would like me to. the past few days, though, i officially tried everything in my medicine cabinet to make the fever, headache, swollen throat, and general miserableness go away. and officially, nothing worked. i think finally, in the third day, the advil started to kick in, but only enough to stave off the achiness for a little while. i don't think i've ever had so much tea in such a short period in my life. i like tea well enough, but i think tea and i will need have a little break from each other after spending too much time together this weekend.

so, thanks to the lovely virility of viral infections, i've reaffirmed that medicine does not work. i tried, though. believe me, i tried.

at least i had someone at home to take care of me. :)
