03/11/2005 Entry: "Flu"

Dang it. I've caught the flu for the third damn time this winter.

Monday started well enough with some laps at the pool at 6 am. Then off to the office to tie up untied ends. Back to home to work those phones like you know I hate to do. And as I hung up for the last time it hit me: the flu.

I looked out the window and those falling flake said, "get back in bed". And I was more than wiling to comply.

I awoke each day early, aching and shivering. It was no small feat to make it to the phone and cancel my classes.

Still, after dark, I found a way; hopped up on a dangerous amount of painkillers-- to get some paste from the hardware store, then the copyshop, and then face the shitty elements and go out and stick up posters. Brother, was it ever the wrong weather for that!

Cold rain came down, the wind bitched. It was just us, with bucket and brush, sloppy obscene looking paste and some paper slapped and slathered down. Altogether a somewhat illegal yet necessary activity. Vive la Neustadt!
