Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... **UPDATED**
(Warning: Pity party ahead. Also, disgustingness.)
I have a coooooooollllllllld.
I cad't breade trough my doze.
I'm not all that hungry, but I haven't eaten since lunchtime (colds take away my appetite), and now I'm freezing, even though I'm wearing two sweaters and wool socks and I just set the thermostat to 75. (Don't tell Dave!) It's because I haven't eaten, I know this, but there's nothing I want to eat here. I don't want a cold shake (brrrrrrrrr), I can't have New England-style clam chowder because, hello, upper respiratory issues plus dairy allergy equals emergency room and I'm really trying to avoid that right now. It's not my favorite place to hang out. I'm out of soup, and crackers, a sandwich doesn't really sound that heartwarming, no matter how much I love me the PBJ. We have tunafish, but, no. Not today. And I've already had hummus and pita.
I taught two classes today. In one, I mostly sat and told other people what to do like the graaaande daaaame of theatuh I'm not interested in becoming. In the other, well, in the other class they were giving group presentations, so I handed out an updated schedule for the class and then just sat and took notes. Occasionally, I hacked up junk. Sometimes, for variety's sake, I blew my nose.
I sucked on a lot of lozenges.
Then I came home. I have spent the last five hours on the couch, drinking lots of fluids and eating hummus and pita bread and not doing anything at all worth mentioning. I need to be grading, but seriously, I think all I'll have to do is cough once and my teaching partner will be horrified that I came to class at all.
Mmmmm... More stuff just came up. At least my nose isn't running all the time any more. It's pretty seriously plugged, but it's not running.
Dave is going to wonder why I turned the house into a sauna when he gets home from rehearsal.
UPDATE
Thank God for cinnamon toast.
