Perfect for the last week of winter

It was forgotten, what the flu felt like. The bones are not as smarting so perhaps it´s only a cold. Of course my last day in a foreign country would turn out like this.

The only cold medicine at hand was the same injested into my body a couple of weeks ago. It is advised that person with diseases of the thyroid (posit loud faux cough here) should not take ¨GT¨ and that one should not take corticosteroids (cough)with it. When the medicine was taken two weeks ago, my chest received an hour or so of mild pain around the heart. It didn´t feel like an artery, but more like heartburn. But it cured the cold really fast.

The hot shower taken did not. After one efervescent tablet, the pressure is already building in my chest. A little bit.

Almost as if something had been locked away, kept down out of my reach during that whole time in Xela, now coming out violently.

Digesting my lunch is difficult. At best, one can observe all of the little details,the nuances of the movement of the food going down. People always respond to the idea perplexed. But it´s a good habit to get into.

It´s remembered now that the heartburn was preceded by super slow digestion. Urgh.
