Autumn of Destruction

It is Autumn in New York and I am dying. Massive intestinal pains since Friday. Didn't even consume anything particularly adventurous. Really hoped I'd be over it by Monday but I had to suffer Monday's workload with the new discomfort.

But one of the few perks of this gig is that I've gotten to keep my Time Warner health benefits for a few months longer, yeah?

So I've got an appointment with a specialist that I drew out of a virtual hat. Wednesday late morning. Seems like a long way to go.

The ailment could always go away before the appointment arrives -- which is a possibility I'd be happy with. An excuse to exploit the insurance.

If the ailment is still going strong by the time appointment comes... well, I hope this guy can sort me out without a lot of back and forth. Hope it doesn't require something serious to repair. I'm hoping for a prescription and a pat on the back.

Today, I ate a banana and a bowl of white rice. My head hurts.
