Bitten |8:48 AM| Nothing quite like a horrid disease to knock you on your ass and give you a tortuous day off of work.
I spent yesterday in bed suffering through feverish nightmares, shakes, nausea, body temperature fluctuations and of course, a ridiculous splitting headache.
I can assume that all these exciting diseases are flowing forth from my increased time around campus. Not that this is a completely negative thing, as challenging one's immune system is better for your health, but I could do without the nightmares. Come to think of it, I could do without most of the symptoms, and would prefer it if I just got a phone call letting me know I was sick.
This previous Friday I was out gambling, as Joe had found us a new place to meet new people, play poker, and take all of their damn money. I was unsure of myself and brought $150, knowing that if I went below $75 I would leave.
Everytime I placed a bet, I thought to myself "If Joe could see my cards, and saw me bet this money, would he give me a disapproving look?"
Haunted by the angry face of Joe, I walked out with a little more than I had when I started. $596.
Sushi dinner on me, darlin'.

|7:56 AM| I'm getting tired of being vaguely ill. My sleep is feverish, with bizzare dreams, and it takes too long for me to be rested. I find myself putting on a jacket and turning on a fan in an attempt to find a comfortable temperature. The level of available energy I have is laughable.
Meanwhile I'm at work early because yesterday I went to bed shortly after I got home. Christ, I slept for way too fucking long.
Did I explain how I'm a wanted man now? The poker club of which I was member was broken up in the past month or so. They had been politely ignored by the local police since they were technically a private club, modelled after the "Sons of Liberty". Oh, and they made a great deal of charitable donations to local Austin services, such as the Austin Fire Department and the Austin Police Department.
These donations were not enough, as it turns out. The police certainly confiscated the member list, but I doubt there will be any follow up on that.
