Pardon my lack of posts, but I've been sick for over a week now. I like to exaggerate and say I have SARS or TB or bird flu, but in reality it's probably just a cold. I have a pretty healthy immune system though (I credit my various lengthy childhood illnesses to building up my antibodies early in life), so unless I cannot breathe, see, or stand, I generally avoid taking any medication, even over-the-counter. I prefer to just ride out the storm without side effects.
In addition, I basically ignore my illnesses except to whine a little and go on with life. Therefore, it was my pleasure to attend a bachelorette party this weekend for one of my oldest friends. It was a pretty laid-back affair: dinner out, then games, gifts, and drinks at a hotel, with ensuing slumber party. I took this opportunity to consume vast quantities of Absolut- without really noticing just how much until I realized I was the only one responsible for emptying half a bottle. One would think this would have made me feel worse, given my raspy, hacking condition, but I actually woke up feeling far better than I had the morning before. I've come to the conclusion that I actually managed to disinfect my blood. (There is, of course, no scientific support for this statement.)
Ironically, my friend (who was also sick) pointed out to me last week that the reason I was sick in the first place was because we had gone out too much the previous weekend and got little to no sleep (mostly due to another round of drinks involving vanilla Stoli), which compromised our immune systems. Apparently the vodka giveth and the vodka taketh away...
