Why I need to stop watching the news.

Dear Self:

Despite what every shrieking head on the news might tell you, YOU DO NOT HAVE SWINE FLU.

You are feeling run down after sleeping in hot weather without an air conditioner, a notoriously bad time for you.

(The hot weather is also likely to make you feel nauseated, as you take after the side of the family who can count heat exhaustion/stroke as a regular part of summer funtimes.)

You are sore and achy from a proper gym workout last night, despite not having been for a week, due to the *actual cold* you had.

Your throat is sore and dry from the Singulair you took last night. You've had that before.

So, in summation, stop reading about the disease of the week and convincing yourself you have it. If you recall, this is why we had to stop watching House.

Thanks!

P.S.: IT'S ALSO NOT LUPUS.
