Sicko...

So here I am, back from a visit to Victoria, home and sick... So much for going to Victoria to help out my Grandma! The first two days I was feeling ok, but too tired to do much (luckily, she also felt lazy), and then BAM! I wake up sick, with a head cold (no worries, not the swine flu or anything so dire...). But still, my brain is all fuzzy, my nose is runny, and my throat is sore... and she ends up having to take care of me!

The human brain surprises me once more in its ability to erase bad experiences: each time I get sick, I suddenly recall how bad it feels, and then a few days or weeks later, while feeling healthy, I can't recall how completely exhausted and run down I felt while being sick. I'm told that this is insure that the human race does not die out: otherwise, after giving birth once most women would never do it again!
