From the Dept. of Freaky Observations

When you're coming down with something, do you ever get a sensation that seems, for lack of a better description, as if you're smelling the inside of your own nose? Or maybe some secretion in there that isn't there ordinarily? It's subtle, but also sharp and meaty at the same time.

I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with something because I have a swollen lymph node in my neck, a sore throat, a sore back, and the occasional mild dizzy spell. I wonder if The Tickler brought me something back from the Middle East besides a psychedelic pashmina (which, by the way, I love).
