sick. at last.
"...Spirits are drained by limitationSurrendering to hours of inactivity
A closed down body veto`s
Every suggestion of an open mind
Experiencing the heartbreak
Of my on again off again
Relationship with consciousness
As my head spins
Like a tornado..."
-Tony Brennan
alas. my body has officially declared a timeout. temperature hit a high of 39.9 degree celcius. is it possible? since the reading was taken with the thermometer that came in the SARS family kit, mum says it's reliable. ytd the walk home from the bus stop was the longest walk in my life. it took me 10min to cover a distance of less than 500m. the afternoon sun was scorching, i figured i must have looked like a freak with a sweater wrapped around me and still half-shivering. the thought of succumbing to the weakness of my legs was tantalizing but i was fearful of being found by some random person and regaining consciousness in some foreign land. told myself, collapse at house doorstep. then i made it home.
i swear i was radiating heat. those in my 50m radius could feel it. and was slightly delirious too. had the weirdest craving for someone who's unwell. ice-cream, ribena, pork floss; haha dont ask me. prickly sensation creeping up my throat, nose is rebelling and running away. 2 out of 5 baskets left at home to conquer and fill with tissue paper.
you know, i've been saying how badly i wish to fall sick. think i know now, be careful what you wish for.
