Cachexia is so hot these days...

...I must be close to burning up.

I'm finally well enough to sit up for more than five minutes together, which is a welcome relief. I've been miserable sick the past few days - I'll spare details, but it suffices to say that I've lost four or five pounds. (Sadly, I know enough now to realize that it's water loss, probably most of my glycogen stores, and perhaps a little lean muscle mass if I'm really unlucky. It was not likely to be any fat tissue.) It's amazing, though, how flat my abs look when I haven't eaten in several days...

With luck, I will be well enough to go back to work tomorrow, and then cram for finals tomorrow night. One final Monday, one Tuesday, and a presentation Tuesday afternoon. Then a bit of relaxation!
