the woes of illness

mellowtiggerARGH!! I'm going to miss "Jingle Tits 2009"! I am so annoyed! Yes, I am gay. No, I have no idea what event this is. With a name like that, though, I'm already disappointed that I won't be there. I'm just not in good enough health to spend time in a crowd at a gay bar so I can watch the lesbian dance frenzy (I'm assuming). 
*disappointed sigh*
I made myself a searing hot (spicy) salsa last night. It might be the first batch I've ever made that was too hot for me to enjoy properly. I added humongous amounts of fresh antimicrobial ingredients: ginger, red onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, white pepper. Humongous. (You do buy your measuring cups from Texas, don't you?) Plus a bit of salt, 2 tomatillos, 6 roma tomatoes, and the juice and pulp of 1 lime. All chopped in a hand-cranked food processor to save that little bit of electricity.
The first bite was the worst. It burned all the way down. After the invading bacteria suffered a painful sulfuric acid death, though, then the remaining bites were much easier to tolerate. If it worked, it would have been a great "treatment" to find cheap medicinals from the grocery store fresh produce aisle.
Unfortunately, it only made the little guys angry. I woke up this morning with a big headache and the burning has now extended up into my ears. I was supposed to wait until Saturday to fill my prescription for amoxicillin (because bacteria are evolving resistance, so doctors are trying to let bodies fight off infections on their own). Since it's gotten worse instead of better, though, I'm heading to the local Target when they open at 8am to participate in their cheap generic drugs program.
Sorry, this missive will have to suffice as the usual Furry Friday post:
Jingle Tits, with lime... and penicillin!
I was also curious if the straight woman was there again who snuggled me twice and gave me (I'm assuming) this illness last Friday. Somebody just has to go to this event and report back to me about what it was like, okay?
(And most people think I'm dull. *helpless shrug*)
