Carnaval and bronchitis

While somewhere in South America people are celebrating Carnaval in the tropical sun, I'm stuck at home with bronchitis. I had just gotten over a bad cold, but yesterday I woke up disoriented and with a fever. Had to go to the doctor and everything. Got a shot of penicillin and I'm on antibiotics now, so hopefully this is the end of it. I'm ready for this winter to be over.
