i've been told that i should update to reassure everyone (or to disappoint, for those who wish ill on me) that i haven't had a deathly cough since january 12th.

so, it's true. the day after i posted that last journal entry, my cough went away completely. i've been perfectly healthy since.

note to self: never, ever travel again during the christmas holidays.

another note to self: lots of vitamin C when i get home.

note to cat: expect bellyrubs. you have been warned.

give it to me straight. is america doomed? should we bother coming back?

update - going to new zealand.

second update - need to listen to the tapes.
