flu
i had the flu starting monday. chills, fever, shakes, post nasal drip, barfing all night. usually, vomiting is a violent acidic affair that embeds bile in the back of your eyeballs. not this time. this was more of a freak show performance. muscles tense and a long green rope of mucus snakes its way out of my stomach, past my throat, tickles over my tongue, and gracefully arcs into the toilet bowl water with hardly a splash. it was almost pleasant. i should be in cirque du soleil. not. today is thursday and i feel much better.
