swine flu is not a joke people

i'm so afraid of getting it before my insurance kicks in. which is next week, i think. and then i only have it for three months, so lets keep our fingers crossed. i'm not the paranoid type, but we've had a lot of people in the office come down with it and then i feel so weird and lethargic. don't like.

to bide the time i look out of my borrowed office window and watch:
palm trees blowing in the santa anna winds.
two humming birds flying and kissing.
a plastic bag floating up to the third floor, like a balloon.
koi fish not swimming in the pond.
brilliant orange birds of paradise swaying.
the westside enshrouded in dust clouds.
my reflection with pursed lips.
