Scream-of-Consciousness

Never, EVER boast that you are the only person you know who has not had [insert name of random awful respiratory virus here]. That's when it always clobbers you.

The sore throat and runny nose were over quickly, but I've spent the past 72 hours in bed (except for two very brief trips out of the house which couldn't be avoided yesterday), have no appetite, feel like I'm burning up although the thermometer persists in telling me I'm not, and feel weak and dizzy.

Meanwhile I have three papers due tomorrow which are languishing unfinished on my computer because I lack the mental energy to complete them.

Going back to sleep now.
