On the side of the bottle of Benylin I’ve been chugging from since Tuesday it says “consult your doctor if symptoms persist.” And I’m wondering how long “persist” is in symptomatic terms, those being a hacking chesty cough, nose streaming red goo, a sore dizzy head and a complete lack of energy let alone being able to concentrate on anything.
(Actually, the one thing I can do is play Mario Kart, which is kinda odd. It must be using some buried primal part of my brain…)
So I’m thinking maybe I’d better go see the doctor on Monday, just in case, but then Andy informs me he had it for a fortnight. And Alex says she’s still got the headaches. What I’ve got is normal.
See you on the other side…
Which version of Mario Kart?
I can play the SNES version with my eyes closed. Kind of.
GameCube, though to be honest only at 50cc. 150cc is a bit much right now.
Generally I prefer Koopa Troopa and Paratroopa.
“I’m too ill to do anything bar play computer games.”
That sounds suspiciously suspicious, Pete.
“I’m full up but I can still manage my pudding.”
You’ve obviously never played Mario Kart. “Game” is pushing it slightly.
Progress report: Got my appetite back this evening for the first time in a week and realised I stank, which indicated my sense of smell had returned. Getting there…
