cold nausea


Today, I am convinced that Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus (maybe Dostoevsky, too) must have had permanent colds.

I never get sick, but, every two years or so, when I do run head-first into a sudden and incapacitating head cold, I believe I stumble upon the true origins of existential philosophy.

I deserve this.

Just this week, I was chastising an eternally-outraged acquaintance... oh, I NEVER get sick, because the great-big-giant ME eats fresh, non-GMO-bastardized apples and runs miles at altitude every day, without fail, even when it's snowing...

I hate myself.

I hate myself even worse than usual today.

Ha! I've gone for years without getting sick and grew unbelieveably smug about it. Then got a cold that flattened me for three weeks. But it went away. Be kind to yourself. Don't be crabby to your wife. Just sit by the fire and sleep a lot. Feel better soon!
