Where do the sick people go?

I woke up today feeling like my eyelashes had been sealed with glue and someone had poured acid down my throat.

The thermometer said my temperature was at 104 degrees F. I felt bad, but not 104 degree fever bad. I retook my temperature a second time, and the thermometer said I was at 101.8 degrees F. Again, I didn't feel like I had a fever. I used a mercury thermometer the third time and was told that I had a temperature of 98.6 degrees F.

I'm going to ignore the readings. It's enough to know that I don't feel well. I should brew some [Honeymint Tea]; the honey will help with my allergies, I hope.

I went to "First to Your Aid"--Dalaran's medical center in the Magus Commerce Exchange. Aside from the first aid trainer and supply vendor (Olisarra the Kind and Angelique Butler), there were only wounded npcs. It made me wonder where the sick people are at. Then, I began to wonder if I ever saw a sick person in Org, UC, TB, or Shatt.

I remembered that other priests, paladins and shamans can cure diseases. But is it right to call myself diseased? I feel ill, but I don't think it's serious enough to label it a disease. Anyway, I started reading up on potential fevers and flu-like debuffs you can get in the game. Here's some I found interesting:
-[Overpowering Sickness]
-[Swine Flu]
-[Fevered Exhaustion]
-[Muculent Fever]

Well, whatever I have is making me less motivated on finishing my research paper. I'd rather warm [Ice Cold Milk] on the stove, eat [Freshly Baked Bread], and wash laundry than create operational definitions for racial distributions and religiosity.

Tomorrow morning is the bachelorette party. (If I'm feeling better tomorrow I'll attend) We're spending an hour learning how to belly-dance, eating at a Lebanese restaurant, and then spending the rest of the afternoon on bumper boats, race cars, and arcades. I'm mostly concerned with how I'm going to belly dance without a belly. Mine rotted off a long time ago in Un'goro.

Stay healthy,
-Jac
