Not a weather entry
I did not expect myself to return for the test. I am not feeling too ill anymore, though I am not feeling very well either. My appetite does not return after my on-off fever tapered off. Then I look around me, and wonder why everyone and everything look so grey and cheerless. Do they seem this way because of how I am feeling inside?
Last night I cried myself to sleep. It was silly of course, and at least I drifted off to sleep quickly. The night before, I was beat but sleep simply eluded me. I drank; I tossed and turned; I laid quite still and stared up at the ceiling from my bed until tiny dots of noise swam in my vision. Finally I got up, picked out a book from the shelf, and read until I felt asleep. It lasted 3 hours. When I woke up, the sky was still dark. And there in the dark, I sat on my bed, until it was way past time to go to work.
I just made a quick run to my GP. He drew a syringe of blood from my forearm and told me that the results of the blood test would be out by this evening.

The only long entry you are going to read in a while.
These past days I was feeling pretty out of sorts. A temperature finally hit me on Friday. At 6-plus that morning, I texted my Team Leader informing her that I was down for the day. By noon I was told that she actually went to ask the colleagues whom I had dinner with the previous evening, what we ate/did that caused me to be out of office that day. They said, that was not very nice of her. I just shrugged.
For a good part of the day I worked from home. It was difficult to work without the systems but I had some help from the office, and most things went smoothly. It was a fairly profitable day and I was pleased as punch.
I finally went to see my GP in the evening. He was concerned that my symptoms were similar to that of dengue fever, something which is all the rage right now. So he prescribed some pretty strong medication for me. If I am not well by Monday I am supposed to return for a blood test.
Till then I am going to take a good rest, before the next hectic week cruises along. And if I feel well enough I might just pick up that book which I have wanted to read for a long time.
I feel sorry that I have not been writing at all. Truth is, I am currently quite bankrupt intellectually and find it difficult to write at random. I was not very rich in this aspect before, but I am doing poorer than an elementary school kid now. Work takes up most of my waking hours. And if I happen to fall asleep doing my numbers or reports, chances are, my sleeping hours are not spared from it either. So reading anything non work-related to broaden my perspectives is a luxury I am too tired and lazy to explore.

Boston
I think I'll start a new life.
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name.
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather.
I think I'll get a lover and fly 'em out to Spain.
I think I'll go to Boston.
I think that I'm just tired.
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind.
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of sunset.
I hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice.
