watching whales

• i'm (finally) feeling settled in SF (kinda... most of the time.)
  
• i've got lots to talk about (for reals. see below.)
• jewelry line is coming together (help me promote it, alright: www.linquistjewelry.etsy.com)
• i never do anything with the 2983475093 photos i always have (but i just can't.put.down.the.camera.)
• i don't really know how/why this fell by the wayside anyways.... (so READ ON)

peace out, DENGUE FEVER.

(via wikipedia:) Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases can be life-threatening, and are caused by four closely related virus seotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family FLaviviridae. It is also known as breakbone fever. It occurs widely in the tropics... which occur in the tropics,

The disease manifests as a sudden onset of severe headache, muscle and joint pains (myalgias and arthralgias—severe pain that gives it the nickname break-bone fever or bonecrusher disease), fever, and rash. The dengue rash is characteristically bright red petechiae and usually appears first on the lower limbs and the chest; in some patients, it spreads to cover most of the body.

so this morning I am finally feeling.... better. not great. not back to normal. but a lot better.
