i think i have a cold, or more likely the flu since it comes with a
fever. the fam is blaming airplanes, but i am sure i got it from the
walking petri dish known as the kid. OTher Cousin keeps threatening to
waterboard, i mean netti pot me. i’d rathe someone just take a vacuum
to my sinuses. but as with trepanation, the family refuses to assist
with my DIY health care. i’d sell a kidney for spicy tortilla soup.
