MY WEST NILE WEEK

so, i'm totally convinced i have west nile virus. whether or not that's true is besides the point. i believe it, right? i have at least 8 mosquito bites, most of which are on my feet. for the last few days, i have felt light headed and i have recently noticed that when i look to the side (with my eyes) it hurts. a couple of times, both at work, i've felt that feeling that i have when i know i'm getting sick, and i could've sworn that i had a slight fever. however, this feeling went away after an hour or so both times. i started sneezing a few times and i've been having a hard time breathing at night and have had to cough. my throat has been sore at least two separate times today and i've had several headaches. are any of these symptoms of west nile???

my nurse (yael) came over today and we picked up some food at the grocery store (it was a bargain cause the total came to less than $15 including the few things we picked up for julie) so we could make dinner--chicken, lettuce for salad, and brocoli. i also got a pluot to try. we went to a couple of bead shops downtown, but didn't buy any, and then came back here to hang out until we cooked dinner, which yael mostly made. we added some rice a roni and had a nice meal and julie joined us without eating any chicken.

yael left almost an hour ago and leighann and her friend andy are over here putting together leighann's dresser. julie left with andrew earlier (by the way, it's andrew's birthday today). now i'm just waiting to hear from myLove. but hey, if you know anything about west nile, please do let me know...
