Today is the first day that I feel like myself again. I have not been that sick in a long time and I really hope that it doesn't happen again soon. The only thing I can think of is that we caught something from one of the apartments we searched. It must have been a really hardy little bug to live this long. But, we haven't come into contact with anyone but the undead in quite a while. Can the living get sick just from coming into contact with the undead? Neither of us have been biten or scratched. Sometimes we get a little bit of fluid on us when we take them out, but I wouldn't consider it blood since it is thick and black. I don't know if anything can survive in them to make us sick besides the virus that caused this whole mess.
I wish I had access to the labs we used at med school. I could take samples and see if there is anything to see. Are there any cells alive in them? Or are they completely dead? Is the virus even alive in them? How does it kill people if it's not alive? There are so many questions. I told Barbie that we need to look for a microscope at the least. Someone in the building had to have a kid who needed one for school or got a chemstry set for a present, or something.
We are starting to run low on water. We still have enough food for while since neither of us have eaten much in the last week. Today is too soon, but we are going to have to go out and search more apartments soon. We can only wait a couple of days at the most.
Thinking about water made me think about the planters on the pool level. Right before Barbie got sick, we had planted some seeds in the flower pots there hoping to get some fresh food out of it. The seeds were past their expiration date, but we still thought it was worth a try. It hasn't rained much, only a sprinkle here and there, while we were sick. I don't know if that would be enough to keep anything like that alive or not. Luckily, we didn't plant all of the seeds, so we can try again if they all didn't do anything or died.
I was really hoping to get some tomatoes out if it. I have my old Grandma Anna's recipes, so I know I could make something edible. The carrots, lettuce and cucumbers would be nice, but I really wanted the tomatoes. Maybe we will get lucky and find some other seeds that we can keep trying. But, I am not going to hold out any hope. None of the apartments in this tower have a balcony. The other tower was more expensive, so some of them have one. We were going to have to get into the other tower, before we finished our entire tower even.
