Sick

[gwynhefar]

Something about ALA Midwinter kicks my immune system. Last year, I got dreadfully sick before even arriving at the conference. This year I started coughing the night before my flight home and by the time I got on the plane I was a shivering, coughing, aching mass of sickness. No matter what I do I can't seem to get warm enough, I'm coughing up foul-tasting phlegm, my head is spinning, and every bone in my body aches.

I *hate* being sick.

So of course, coming right off a conference I am now home sick from work, in the hopes that resting today will make me well enough to hobble in tomorrow and get a few of the things done that absolutely have to be done before the 3-day weekend.

Meanwhile, I have a package from Amazon.com and I can't even muster up the energy to open it. That should give you an idea of how bad I feel.

I'm so sorry to hear that; I hope you feel better soon :( Clearly Midwinter doesn't like you.
