Sick, sick, sick little monkey!

My great trek to the creek and back yesterday appears to have destroyed me, at least temporarily. I came back after five hours of roaming and promptly felt like death, with a full body fever that needed tylenol to bring down, complete and utter exhaustion, and my first full night's sleep in ages. On the upside, I now have a new cat thanks to Azzam. He brought this pink thing back for me along with a kitkat and dairy milk and a dvd last night when it became clear that I really was feeling appalling. It perches on my hip like Lola, with legs splayed, draped, boneless.

On the upside, unlike last autumn when I was here and gained weight, this time I've lost weight. Hooray for India, hooray for neverending colds and flus!
