Scratchy throat. Incessant coughing. Runny nose.

Last night, I had the chills, so Pete covered me with about a hundred blankets. (Okay, only three, but one of them was wool.) Shiver, shiver. At 1:30 I braved the elements in order to visit the bathroom. Two hours later, I awoke in a sweat. Hot! Hot! Hot! The blankets were dashed to the floor, and I attempted further sleep.

At 9, I decided to get up and take a shower. Might as well go to work, I figured. I might not last the day, but here I am.

Yay, it’s spring.
