Gombu. n. unidentified bug, making everyone sick
I know, I know, I'm over-using the "gombu" thing. But I just heard it for the first time, and something about my state of delirium makes me think that word is hilarious.
Here's how it happened, the bishop came over and my mom told him, "We've got the gombu!" I thought I just might die because my mom just made up a word and said it to someone, and no one was even laughing to soften the blow. Turns out it's a "common" phrase (in the world of old people) meaning unidentified sickness.
So that's all I have to say today.
This is the worst.sickness.ever.
I want to be better.

That's not a term I've ever heard, but I do find it extremely entertaining to say. :)Feel better soon!
