Siiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

These last few days in Brazil have been terrible. I have picked up some creature of some sort (of this I am almost positive-- I mean, who gets sick for as long as I have been (5 days) without the help of some little alien being?). 

It sucks because I haven't been able to do anything. If I eat I get sick and have to run to the toilet. If I don't eat I don't have any symptoms... but then I am hungry and weak. I have been drinking lots of water and trying to keep hydrated but this thing will not let up! It is very frustrating. Even just walking around drains me. Ugh. Last night I got sick in the middle of the night and had to leave the hostel dorm room and hang out in the lobby bathroom until I felt well enough to climb back up the ladder to my bed. 

I am sad because I have not had enough energy to go visit Lily and her parents. The walk is too long for me when I am running on negative calories... the sun makes it even worse. I'm hoping to go over there tomorrow, though. Today is a holiday-- Labor Day. So everything is closed. 

Ugh, I'm starving. I have to find something to eat.... darnit.
