February 18, 1997
The fever/throat disease is in full swing. I went to order coffee this morning and nothing came out of my voice box! I went to therapy anyway and my voice faded in and out until I was coughing so violently I decided to leave early. It feels like there is a gang of frogs in there with switchblades hacking away.
I lost my expensive health food lunch from Earth Food Store - tempeh with Brussels sprouts, curried rice, and vegetable tortellini. Sigh. I was trying to eat healthy.
I have not accomplished anything today. Well, I did go to therapy and I did take a shower but I haven't studied for tomorrow night's oceanography exam nor have I bought tickets for the Throat Singers of Tuva nor have I even looked at my photographs for the Scenic Rhode Island Foundation or my notebooks for the great American novel or anything. All I seem to be able to do is cough. Well, actually I can't even do that very well - I end up turning purple and feeling like I'm choking. Those frogs are huge!
And last night I dreamed I bought an ink jet printer that was totally incompatible with everything I own. I had to reassure myself by checking the office this morning - no new printer, whew it was a dream.
Shouldn't I be worrying about taxes about now?
No, no, I should be cleaning the basement, that's it...
