I have a cold
Being sick and living at the whims of people who don´t know shit about health is annoying. People in Ecuador, and I think a lot of Latin America, still have this folk wisdom about health that I´m having to put up with. They think all illness stems from air temperature, like most ancient greek medicine, so I have a billion blankets on my bed and can´t leave the house without a coat. But the reason I´m annoyed is becuase my dad keeps waking me up at 8 in the morning to give me juice, and I´m like ´fuck off, I´ll drink it when I wake up.´ Then he watches how I drink it and makes sure I drink it slow because that´s supposed to help my throat, but it´s always sugery (sp?) and milky, which is not what I need when I´m congested and coughing. They also try to feed me heaping spoonfuls of honey, which I know people do in the states too but it´s stupid. Anyway, I´ll get over it.
