My Computer and I Are Sick

Sorry I haven't updated in a week. My laptop died on Friday night with a hal.dll error preventing Windows from launching. So either I buy a copy of XP for as much money as I payed for the computer or I install Linux...hmmmm free stable operating system or $230 to a ginormous stinking rich corporation. hmmmm.

My body is under siege as well. Two weeks ago, this illness started as aches and a cold. For the past two days, I've spent several hours in the afternoon unable to stay awake. Other people on the ecovillage and in the surrounding area are sick with what seems to be the same thing. There are rumours that some end up with pneumonia. I feel like I have mono in waves throughout the day and I'm only healthy feeling in the morning. Anyways, if you have any idea what this is or what healing method I should attempt, please advise. So far, I'm drinking lots of lemon balm (an herb we grow here) and fresh ginger tea to boost my thyroid and immune systems. Maybe it's time to visit a doctor.
