Apparently, I'm fine

I just got back from the doctor's office and, despite a very prolonged sore throat and a sometimes overwhelming sense of general malaise, I am fine. Apparently, I have sunk to a new low and may now include hypochondriacism among my daily activities.

I also dreamed last night that I passed through some sort of time warp and lost 7.5 hours of the night, stepping out of some Texas bar when it should have been 10PM but instead it was light outside and 5:30 in the morning and already humid and warm.
