I'm still sick, but feeling a bit better than yesterday. I'm hoping to make it to tonight's sim, where I'm supposed to backseat Bini as she does her first sim. I was worried that I wouldn't sleep well last night, since I had no Nyquil to knock me out, but I guess I was tired enough; I only woke up twice. Jose is taking good care of me, and went to the grocery store last night to get me some milk and assorted snacks. I don't feel much like eating, but my stomach growls anyway -- I'm hungry but have no appetite. Weird. At least my nose has stopped running -- yesterday I was giving new meaning to the term "like a faucet."

With a couple unexpected days at home, I quickly came up with a list of things that I could get done with my "free time." Unfortunately, I don't feel like doing any of it. Yesterday I laid on the couch all day and watched TV. There is nothing good on TV during the day.

There is an alligator out on the side of the bayou, the first time I've seen one since October. Weird thing is, this one isn't the alligator that I've seen before. This one is about half the size of my alligator. So there's proof -- I have multiple alligator neighbors. Great.
