Sick.

Been sick for the last couple of days. Some kind of stomach flu. Complete with nausea, lightheadedness complemented by a very subdued headache bouquet! What a wonderful ensemble this was.

Here's an interesting fact. Any bloody time you're ill with some kind of a virus, I guarantee it that within 2 minutes of a conversation about your symptoms, the person you're talking to will say the following: "It's going around!" and promptly proceed to give you a list of people that are now or have been ill with approximately the same illness, in the very recent past.

Could it be the need to make one feel like their plight is shared? Must be that. The thing is that it's becoming a reflex. Also, why is it that we don't get good stuff "going around"? Like say... winning the lottery. Hey you won the lotto? It's going around you know. My cousin, his wife and their kids they all won the lotto in a week of my cousin coming home from work yelling: "Honey! I won the Lotto!". It's going around, I tell you!
