Now, not only do I have a cold and a slight fever, I also have a cough. No thanks to Bioflu. All my friends swear by it, but why is it that every time I take it, I feel worse? Everyone in France was swearing by Fervex too, which also made me feel like shit.

I don’t think I’m meant to be taking pharmaceutical drugs for their intended purposes.

I’m supposed to be at CrossFit as I write this, dammit. WAAAAAIL! (Not “whale”, smart ass.) I’m turning into jello! I don’t think I’m brave enough to get back on that scale again. At least, in France, I was walking. Here, I’m just eating with wanton abandon. (cue inside joke: “And I don’t even like wanton.” – rimshot)

Okay, I’m giving myself till the end of the holiday season to get over this stupid flu which, technically, is AFTER the Feast of the Epiphany (Three Kings) on January 6.

And, in the spirit of the season, it is imperative that I continue to indulge, of course. Even if my taste buds are deader than dead. Someone just gave me a box of chocolates and I have a nilagang baka fest with my high school girlfriends and a massive Pinoy lunch at Milky Way lined up this week.

It also has no calories if it’s somebody’s birthday or if you’re meeting up with friends you haven’t seen in ages. Or if you’re sick and need a pick-me-up. 😉

I also have a dinner on the 7th but you know I’ll come up with another clause before then. (Oops, I just did. It is somebody’s birthday. Har.)

I’m going back to bed now before my head falls off.
