sniffy sniffle hack hack

it was a really nice weekend...but i was too sick to take much notice of it.

don't know what it is about this year, but i've been sick twice so far since september, and this one looks like it's gonna hang on to my lungs for dear life. whether i got it from my roommate or from one of the many snot-nosed kids that i've been around, the result is the same, i've had the hacking cough all week (the kind that laughs at cough drops and snickers at cough syrup), but now it's changing over to something more insidiously sinister and sinus-y and i'll probably have a bonafide sinus infection to carry me over into this week.

the problem with all of this is that i can't get out of going to work entirely, which is problematic when all i feel like doing is committing to a sleeping marathon punctuated by breaks where i wake up and insert another lozenge or drink another gallon of tea. naturally this week is orientation for tutoring at Marshall, a major project for a kid i'm tutoring after school, and who knows what all else...

aiya...

poor brian, i hope he doesn't get this.
