My body's been feeling achey since Thursday, but yesterday it kicked in on a whole new level and by 8pm I was in bed.  I didn't feel sick - just achey.  Last night was pretty difficult (too achey to sleep) but for whatever reason I feel slightly better today so I'm hoping all of this is just fatigue.  I was pretty busy this last week, and it would seem that high levels of busyness here are just simply unsustainable - it helps me understand much better why people here walk more slowly, take it easy at work, relax...  Because if you don't, the city will eat you alive! 

I talked to my roommate, Moutarou, yesterday as I was preparing myself some soup, and he assured me that if it was malaria I would NOT be able to cook soup; I would be in bed pleading for death.  He should know - he's survived 15 bouts of malaria!  So, I take his word for it.  Nevertheless, obviously I'll go to the doctor if I don't feel okay by tomorrow.  But remembering the last time I got sick (back in November, I think), this doesn't feel like that did - that was an all-of-a-sudden feeling of getting hit by a mack truck - the normally 3 minute walk home took like a half an hour or something.  Since this has progressed so much more gradually and there aren't any other symptoms, I'm assuming it's just fatigue.  But I have to say, I never knew fatigue could bowl you over this much. 

Anyway, at LEAST we have electricity!  Yay!  So I can have the fan on (it's gotten hot here again - Moutarou and my other roommate Kofi have both hypothesized that my achiness is due to the return of the hot season), and I can look at random crap on the internet, or work... (or look at random crap on the internet...).
