[whine] I have a really, really bad cold, and feel like crap…my roommate had it two weeks ago, and I thought I’d escaped, but noooo. I slept for something like 20 hours yesterday, and still am tired and feel like crap. My sinuses are all sorts of unpleasant, I’m all stuffy, my throat hurts, I’m coughing…ugh.
And I keep drinking tea, because apparently, that’s better for you than anything else I have in my room (mountain dew, cherry pepsi, and iced tea). My orange-chamomile green tea (I have no idea, that’s what the box says) is tasty, but A) I can’t taste anything, and B) I’m getting tired of needing to pee every hour. Also, I’m getting tired of drinking tea.
Intelligent design, my ass…there ain’t nothing intelligent about a body that can get sick like this.

Me too! And on top of all that, I’ve lost my voice.
My daughter started feeling like that a week ago. She finally went to the doctor today. Pneumonia. $245 at the doctor and $30 at the pharmacy, and a week of missed work.
Sitting in my classroom is like being trapped in a plague-stricken village. You know you’re going to catch it and die, but you just don’t know how long you’ve got before it hits you.
The coughing, sneezing, and sniffling going on during the biochemistry lecture is good enough for a NyQuil commercial. Up to now, I’ve been avoiding germs. I sit in my own little corner with my bottle of Purell, chewing on Vitamin C tablets, avoiding all contact except the eye kind with my classmates.
But today I felt a little shaky. By the time I got home, I had a low fever. I caught myself sniffling at least a half dozen times in the past three hours.
Dammit! I’m going to visit my man this weekend and I haven’t seen him in five weeks! I WILL NOT GET SICK!!!
I’m actually feeling a little better at this point. That means I feel well enough to be consciously bored with just lying around, but not well enough to actually, you know, do anything require conscious intelligent thought or energy.
