Bird Flu Hypochondria alert:
Sometime while it was still dark this morning, I sneezed hard enough to wake myself up. The effect was like tapping a spigot into a maple tree, because my nose has been running continuously since then. I've been sneezing off and on all morning and all day. Other symptom was "intestinal difficulties", about which the less said, the better.

Just thought you'd like to know, whether the hypochondria is mine or yours. I know it's not bird flu, but if a pandemic breaks out, then you'll know to keep away from me for a while.
