Rock the Casbah

I went back to Commercial Street last night and got my bangles - they are lovely!! They make it a little tough to type, but one has to suffer for fashion, right? :D I also picked up a bunch of souvenirs that were requested by folks back home. I only have a little more shopping to do and then I am done! Woot!

After we were done, Bala, Nick and I went to a club called Purple Haze, which plays very loud metal and rock videos. Fun! I was actually wearing earrings (I can hear the gasps of amazement from my audience ;) and my earlobes actually hurt from head banging. It's been a long time since I've done that and my neck kinda hurts, too :P Ah well, perhaps I should grow up and stop tossing my head around to music? Nah...I'll just go to the chiropractor when I get home.

And now I'm feeling sick again, dear readers. Will this *never* end? I'd like to feel normal again. Fortunately, it's not the same sickness I was feeling before, so at least the viruses and/or bacteria have gotten creative about making my life hell. Now I'm feeling like I have the makings of the flu - I was feverish and simply exhausted for most of the day. I also felt as if my mucus membranes were working overtime on the mucus part. Sorry if that's an overshare, but it's a funny line, you must admit.

Plans for traveling to Mysore have been cancelled based on how I'm feeling. The newest trainee was out for the last two days of the week because his wife was having a baby (Congratulations to Azeez on his new baby boy!!) so I have to have to have to be in the office for the full week so that I can spend as much time as possible. Traveling for at a minimum of six hours, walking around all day in a new place, etcetera seemed to me to be a recipe for sick time during the work week. I'm nothing if not committed (or at the very least, I should be...to some nice, calm, padded place where a pill cart comes by regularly).

Sounds like the weekend will be pretty quiet overall. I'm planning to go out to Purple Haze again tomorrow night. Everyone was trying to get me to go out tonight and jam again, but I just couldn't bear it. I think this is the longest that I have consistently had alcohol and it's depressing my poor widdle immune system (along with a profound lack of sleep).

I think that this is enough for the moment. Love to youse guys!
