It Had Better Not Be Bird Flu

I don’t know what’s going on. Yesterday I forced myself to go to work despite being insanely jetlagged and having a horrible sore throat/head cold. I managed to make it through my office holiday party, met friends for drinks at The Bell House afterward and even ate White Castle at 2am no problem. But this morning I woke up feverish and barely able to speak. And after finally getting a bagel (something New Yorky I had been craving in Asia) and a cup of coffee, instead of feeling better I started puking uncontrollably. I’ve spent my entire Saturday in bed. I’m too dizzy to even look at a computer screen for long, which is frustrating because I have a zillion photos to go through. All I can do is sit still, drink water and watch bad TV. Thank goodness TNT has a new Librarian movie premiering tonight.

  1. Take it easy girl! You’ve been through a whirlwind! Plus your body needs to adjust to the freezer temp.

    Can’t wait for your photos.

    Asia have yet to be hit by bagel craze. It won’t be long. Would be so weird to see H & H in corner of Tsim Sha Tsui next to a bubble tea store.

  2. Soon you’ll feel better and the good vacation memories will take over.

    That sort of sounds like what happened to me last year after a trip to China, I kept having relapses of nausea and wooziness (not as extreme as yours) and eventually went to the doctor on the advice of some well traveled co-workers. I had to leave some, er, samples with the doc to test for parasites, but it was a bacterial thing afterall and cleared right up with an antibiotic. Go see your doctor!
