Sick in Russia

Sound: "Look Around" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Surprisingly, 18-hour days, questionable nutrition, and living in close quarters with other people living under similar circumstances resulted in me getting sick.  After two and a half days in bed, I am now mostly functional (albeit hopped up on Sudafed).

Here's my advice: don't get sick in Russia.  Especially if you're like me and want people to take care of you because you are a total sickness weenie.  No one is going to take care of you, and you are probably going to start freaking out because you can't breathe and the Sudafed's not working as well as you'd like and DEAR LORD, DO THEY JUST KILL YOU IN RUSSIA IF YOU'RE INFIRM WHY CAN'T I BREATHE?

If you do get sick in Russia, just sleep.  Seriously, knock yourself out so that you can't start thinking paranoid thoughts (although, you might have paranoid dreams about how you have to sleep in a specific position or else you'll die) and just try to sleep through the entire illness.  That's the only way to deal with it.  Especially since you don't have Netflix.
