Some secret Dracula-in-hiding is happy. After a Bloodmobile's worth of samples taken for this test and that test, doctors are still not able to determine why I was sick with, among other things, a low-grade fever for four weeks. I cleared my full physical today with flying colors, and although I have more tests later this week, most dangerous and deadly diseases have been ruled out. I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to donate my body to science after my death - not before or during it. Happily, I'm feeling better and have my energy restored. I think it was a nasty virus that will go forever undiagnosed and unnamed. Until now.
I pronounce myself having just healed from... tepidity. Yes, tepidity - that gooey warm fever that just keeps you sweating in your sheets. Mmmm... takes you right back to Mom's chocolate chip cookies, doesn't it? The kind that are still warm from the oven (I slept with them to perfection*) and the chocolate bits are just slightly oozing (don't ask).
Otherwise, things have improved slightly on the Plains. Check out my website for pics of the new place. You should have my website address already... Email me if you don't. Work is going swimmingly; I'm really enjoying teaching this semester. It has fast become my favorite element of the term. I've met some cool people around town and have *gasp* formed some friendships and found some dating potential that I didn't know existed. True to the transient nature of a college town, Auburn guys are hard to keep around - even if they aren't students. Cross your fingers (and your legs*) for me.
*not that way
