Now muscle shoals has got the swampers

well, that "ten day illness" that I "just got over" turned into a seventeen day illness. the last five days were dominated by a migraine and a fever. i tried to ignore it as much as possible. i zoned and blacked out frequently. i stayed up till 4 monday night around a camp fire drinkin' arabic tea to spend time with a friend that's moving to europe next week. yesterday evening/last night/this morning i spent sixteen hours in my bed. cold chills, cold sweats and feverish nightmares kept me company. i'm feelin' almost normal now. a few minutes ago at big lots (i was buying a pushbroom) and i heard a three year old singing along with lynard skynard.
