Just got a call from my Doc’s office — results of the blood count are “normal”; verdict still out on the WNV.
Not sure what a “normal” blood count is. Probably somewhere around 5 or 6.

Yesterday to the doc about the neck. Doesn’t think it’s West Nile, but we took blood for that and a blood count (and maybe a little TSH checkup? didn’t ask) to see what kinda virus it is.
Dad thinks it’s ergonomics — and judging by the way I’m sitting in this chair as I write this…. he might not be far off. Oy. Sit up, ya bastard.
Anyway — now my right ear is drumming everytime I yawn. Something to do with this morning’s dose of ear drops, undoubtedly….oh, whatever.
JOOSUS LOOOVES YOOOU
My recent entries all seem to start with “So J and I” which I realize, as it is repeated, isn’t a very eloquent way to start anything at all.
So…. um…..me and J….. hah! no, just kidding folks. Don’t mind me. Sons of bitches.
Found out two of my friends had West Nile virus. How wacko is that? They should be celebrities, given the key to the city, revered, worshipped even…. Let us build a monument in their honor…. My brush with fame….
Seriously though. When I tell you I got some mosquito bites over the weekend, do you really expect to be the first person to say something about the West Nile virus?
I’ve started telling people that I’m 1/16th Egyptian and so therefore I’m immune to it. No other response will do. What do people want you to say, “Yeah, I’m terrified for my fucking life? I hope I don’t DIE from those mosquito bites?” Or maybe, even though it’s obviously on everyone’s minds, they expect you to say, “Holy crap! I hadn’t even thought of that! Thanks for the warning!”
Really, instead of, when I say, “I got some mosquito bites this weekend,” don’t say, “Ohhhh, West Nile Virus” or “Do you have West Nile Virus” or “Mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus.”
Say, “Gosh, those darn things are pesky.” or “Hope you don’t die.”
mosquito fly home,
i’m sick of the west nile jokes
that you carry with.
