Today has been most unusual. It started out as normal with the hacking of phlegm that has plagued me for the whole week. I convinced the SCICON nurse finally that it was no ordinary cough and flew to the doctor. After a full day's pain of moving from one doctor's waiting room to the next I now know I have "walking pneumonia," which explains a lot. After picking up my prescriptions I passed out for an afternoon nap and woke up feeling like it was morning, but darkness surrounding me. It feels very weird.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning to Red Rock, and I'm having flashbacks to the trip to Donnor my sister and I took when I was young. I remember sand and DayQuil. Together forever. Ew.

The whole day I've been in an off mood because I let the canon (a.k.a. the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin series) affect me way too much. Bad day in the books = bad day for me. Jack REALLY pissed me off today. I wish he could be back at sea; he can't handle himself on land. Yarg!!! Oddly enough my vile cough started the day Captain Aubrey became bed ridden with pneumonia. Coincidence?

I hope the book begins to look up soon.
