What are the symptoms of Eastern Equine Encephalitis(EEE)?

Infection with Eastern equine encephalitis virus can cause a range of illnesses. Most people infected with the virus have no symptoms; others get only a mild flu-like illness with fever, headache, and a sore throat.

i got bit by a mosquito on tuesday. wednesday i woke up with a sore throat, and frequent stints of dizziness.

jennifer denise johnson speer. aka: jennifer jean, jenn, jenny, franz. the oldest of the johnson sisters, and also the only one that will ever be married. husband is timothy jason speer of shallowater. now resides in arlington. drives a saturn. known for impeccable taste and strong sense of humor. has a cat named boogs. he is the heavyweight champion of the kennel. he's part dog. timothy jason (referred to as tj) is quite the master chef. but jenny can make some mean frozen fries. things i have learned from jenny:

1) when jenny says to get off the phone, she means it. if you intend on disobeying her, make sure that you wear a hard hat.
2) if jenny says to come to her "garage" sale, be ready to be ripped off. she will try and sell you sheets of notebook paper and her own pennies. do not, i repeat, do not go to jenny's "garage" sales.
3) make sure that your carseat cover is firmly attached to your carseat before attempting to go to class. if you do not take this precautionary measure, you will forever regret the time you walked on campus with your carseat cover stuck between your back and your backpack.
4) never comb your long hair upside down and flip it up while you are under an overhead fan...that is turned on. you will have to run in circles while tying to hit the light switch.
5) never get in a cut down fight with jenny. you will most likely end up saying something really cool like "shut don't go up, airlplanes do. take my advice you shut up to. yeah!" never try to one up jenny. she will slaughter you. kill you. eat your head off.
6) do not drink more than one glass of the "punch" served at your friends shower. you will most likely get a buzz.
7) peppermints are the cure for gagginess.

if you aren't jenny, which only one of you will be, i am sure that this post is nonsense to you. if you don't know jenny, you have missed out. there are few people that will listen to you blab, that will watch a pbs special for 4 hours with you, that will go shopping with you anytime, even if you have to go to walmart at 1 in the morning. that is jenny. and i will see her and the tjster in t-minus 32 hours.


tomorrow there will be no shout outs and out shouts, but a story. a story of the roadtrip from hell. a story you will not soon forget.
