Vilefying the Vagrant Virus

I am sick today. Really.

I have been feeling a bit low for the past days. You know, just having the virus hang in my system for sometime, but not necessarily attacking me. Yesterday, Mr. V got victorious. Halfway through the shopping expidition at Sarojini Nagar Market in Delhi, I felt dizzy and feverish. Of course, even when one is not sick, he/she'd feel dizzy in Sarojini, but for me, it was unusual. Me, getting dizzy during shopping? Me dizzy, when I just bought a new mobile phone (Samsung SGH F480 Touch)???

So I decided to wake up late, hoping that the bug will go away. I starve the MF'ing bug, but it did not go away. Here I am now, suffering with a painful and parched throat, a runny nose (I looked like Rudolph), a fever, headache and a really bad back pain. In fact, as I type down my thoughts, I probably look like a fish out of water -- open mouth and flared nares.

I don't want to write about this, but I figured I have to share with you all my laurels, my crisis and definitely my illnesses. Friends need to know what friends feel, right? And oh, yeah. I got this from friends. Mr. V was just running around the expatriates trying to victimize everyone.

Anyways, I have been hooking up on the net trying to find a quick remedy for this thing. I have read something about honey, lemon and tea (which incidently is what I am drinking now), and just taking a good soothing rest. How can, in Barok's name can someone rest with a headache and backpains? Aber? How can I fall asleep in the middle of the day when there are a hundred men outside (working on a construction), banging and talking in an endless cacophony of nonesense?

So, here I am now, red-eyed, facing the computer waiting for the evening to come. At least I could have the house dimmed and take a much needed rest. (I am all alone in the house, by the way.... hmmm)

But for now, I give up.

Maybe I'll fight this virus with Old Monk (rum) and coke. That'll teach him to infect me.

Any suggestions on the dosage?
