I recently set up a wireless LAN at my house.  Today I am in bed, very sick.  I went to bed yesterday afternoon at 12:30p, and really only woke up this morning at 4:00a, after a long afternoon, evening and night of terrible dreams.  I keep telling myself I am not really sick  - just an hour ago, I got up, got dressed (although I realize now that I was dressed very poorly), and made as if to leave the house (I have no idea where I thought I might go).  Now I have undressed again, and gotten back into bed (I originally mistyped that I had "gotten back into bad," which is true as well, I suppose).  It all happened as if in a dream.  Yesterday I drank a large chocolate malt, at which point I just gave up and went home, and to bed.  I normally dislike ice cream, and sweet drinks - almost all sweets, really.  I knew then that I was really sick.   But I am happy to have my wireless LAN and laptop, so that I can type these pathetic little missives from my bed.   I am watching CNN, which is a good thing to watch while sick, I think.  They just had a picture of these little boys who were once joined at the head but are now separate beings, which is beautiful and creepy.  I'm sure that there was some way to tell that they experienced their world as two beings, rather than one, even while joined. Still... I expect to have a horrible nightmare about this sometime during the next two hours. 11:37:40 AM
