I've Become A Mouth Breather By No Choice Of My Own

I've been down for the count past week. Extreme fatigue, fever, cough, cold, sore throat, aches and pains. All symptoms of the flu or, what we call in my native Filipino dialect as, "trankaso." I've always wondered why we called it that. So etymologically, do I have a case of the trannies? If only that were so. The skin around my nose is raw - and I didn't even have the high that normally comes with snuffing! On a lighter note, maybe a week long diet of miso soup will work wonders on my bilbil.

Girlfriend better go back to hacking up a lung now.
