It's never just the sniffles...

[foxgrrl]

It's always at least a week long ordeal, and I hate it. If you are ill, please do not be offended if I refuse to touch you or go near you. I don't know why my body does this, or how to make it stop, but I never want it to happen again.

I hate laying in bed in the middle of the day, unable to sleep, unable to find a comfortable position because my body aches so bad. It's almost 70°F outside here, and I have the heater on, and I'm dressed, and wrapped up under three layers of blankets, and I'm still freezing. It hurts to swallow, and I'm coughing up little balls of yellow slime.

I hate being unable to think, or to work on anything. I'm falling behind schedule at work, and I have several projects I need to complete soon. If I could sleep, it would be productive for my immune system, but I can't get to sleep.

So, like seriously, if you're sick, stay away from me. Ok?

(And there's never anyone to take care of me when I'm ill. (Except for maradydd, but she's not here now.))

Aww, honey. I wish I were there so I could make you lots and lots of lemon boiled ginger tea.
