That being said I didn't know as I was hanging in the solarium meditating having just hung out with a Lama who's been coming to see me. He's helping me with my Bodichitta and with patience. I went back to my room and laid down...started watching Schindler's List. All of a sudden I am shivering like a mad man...."I can't get warm enough! I can't get warm enough!" I ask for another blanket and a temp reading....97.7 on your fm dial means your fine. I wasn't. Did a temp reading a half hour later 103....BOOM. Fever time. Turns out all that stupid phlegm I've coughing up all week finally got around to dropping the bomb on my lungs. Tylenol , Chest X-ray (I had to go downstairs they couldn't bring the droid up) urine sample , phlegm sample. I took all my blanket down with me to the basement. I looked like a retired Sith Lord . This technician guy walks in while I'm waiting for the X-ray . I don't even look up as I am dozing but I smell him....smells good. "Somebody smells good." I say out loud. He's like ' yeah it's Egyptian musk'. 'Nice.' Some women behind says ' yah he flew all the way thayah just ta get it'. ' I bet you found it at the bottom of some triangle in the desert' I say...and that tickled his ribs.
So now....3am ...fever broke and it's a Georgia summer in my room with Mr. Wei. You never
EVER
I could have done a better job!
