Still Sick

I was feeling a bit better yesterday, and the sore throat was definitely starting to fade, so I was kind of hoping I was successfully fighting off whatever it was I was infected with. No such luck, though. I started feeling considerably worse about halfway through my shift last night, and when I woke up today (too damned early, yet again), it was pretty clear that a fairly nasty cold had taken up residence in my body and was in the process of making itself quite comfortably at home. I've already sent word to the boss that I'm not going to be in to work tonight; I'm really hoping that if I spend today resting I should be able to shake this thing quickly, as I've got a friend who's supposed to be coming down for the 4th of July tomorrow and I'm meant to be gaming on Saturday. Sigh. You know, there are occasional times when, I admit, I find myself thinking that it would be nice to come down with a little mild illness just as an excuse to stay in bed and read or something. But, of course, during those times, I inevitably stay robustly healthy. It's when I've got things to do (places to go, people to meet), that the germs always decide to pounce. Stupid germs.

I should really go and try to get some more sleep, but that's kind of hard to do when you can't really breathe, so maybe I'll just prop myself up here in front of the computer for a while...
