TMgrossI
I woke up last Thursday and started puking, and puked my guts out for half a day. At noon the shit fairy came to visit and stayed until Sunday. It was a wasted weekend, and now I’m back to basically normal digestion but I am coughing up the nasty snotty phlegm of last winter and the winter before. I thought it was sickness but maybe it’s just cooler, drier air that makes my throat and lungs clog up.
India did it to me, that month in Delhi, breathing fumes and dust and grinder shavings. Now my lungs fill defensively at the merest change in the weather. How could I survive the winter at home? More importantly, how do I combat this lung juiciness for the next four months? I don’t wanna go through it again this year. The hot wasn’t so hot this year, and the humidity not so humid…how easily my body has adapted to warmth and wetness. It does not relish winter, and it trembles in fear at the prospect of the frigidly dry Midwest.

The human body isn’t built for the Midwest. Come live in San Francisco!
You know, it just might happen.
