I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me...

Oops, wrong frequency.

Previous statements involving the betterment of my physical condition have been greatly exaggerated.

It would appear this was no mere common cold but a full on flu Armageddon. Every moment of victory and foreseeable health that was within my grasp the disease moved on to another part of my body. This thing has no honor.

But I am not unguilty in this matter. If I can be convicted of anything it is hubris. I went to work twice this past week against anyone's better judgment. I believed I could conquer this by mere use of over the counter medicine and homemade concoctions of my own design. All of which worked... to an extent. Making all this just slightly above utter hell.

You know the symptoms I hardly consider the worst of it. Its the lack of sleep it causes. I haven't been able to string more than three hours of sleep together in almost six days. I have felt my sanity begin to slip on more than one occasion. Anyone would at this point. Most of my actions derive themselves purely from instinct deep inside my ancient reptilian brain. All in all as this experience has been a god awful one but very enlightening.

I have the bugger cornered in my sinuses now with no where to run to. I prepared something special when the time came to end this. I put the finishing touches on it this morning. I'll push enter to give you time to ponder what the bloody hell I could be writing about.

Done yet? Okay, take your time.

I call them Koibito's Kira Beans.

They're based on a baked bean recipe I've been toying with for years. I won't post the recipe for fear that someone dare use it. Suffice to say they are not fit for human consumption. I myself am only capable of eating a single plate at the given time under particular circumstances. (Fun fact, tradition calls for that they are only to be eaten by way of wooden spoon.) These beans aren't merely spicy. They are an all consuming divine flame the raises and purify's your body, mind, soul and colon.

I ate the kia beans an hour ago.

This war is over.
