Sick and Moody

So... Latest news on the streets: I'm ill.

I've been struck down in the prime of life by a vicious bug. The past two days were spent with a high fever and constant headache, plus an annoying grating cough and a very swollen throat.

Today is worse.

I got out of bed today, early as usual, to let Stuart out of the building, and went straight back to bed. Woke up 2 hours later boiling hot and covered in sweat. I thought, oh good, maybe my fever's sweated out now. But no, my fever was still raging on.

This entry already seems pretty gross.

Anyways, I've got an appointment with a nurse at Cripps Health Centre at 5 this afternoon, so they can give me something that'll just knock me out or whatever.

The worst thing about being sick is that when your body needs sleep the most, it never seems to let you get any actual sleep. The past two nights, I must have woken up at least three or four times in the night, sitting up way to fast from shock and thus incurring a blinding pain in my head.

Of all days to have lovely weather, it has to be today. WHEN I AM SICK.

Bloody English weather.

Today, the sun is my worst enemy. It's too bright outside and everything looks so cheery that I just want to smack something cute and fluffy. Or anyone who laughs and looks too happy.

Ok, I might be delirious on the paracetamol that I've taken (or the fever's messed with my brain functions), I'm not actually going to smack something cute and fluffy. I might just hit the happy people, though.

Sigh. Don't worry, I'm not completely mental. Yet.

I do like being sick though, just a little, although I would like to feel better ASAP. I can lie in bed all day and no one will yell at me for it. And people do stuff for you! :) (By the way, sorry Stuart, for being such a whiny pain in the ass, and for being completely fickle about food and not eating the chicken and bacon pasta you bought for me last night.)

Everything tastes like ass. Honestly, putting condiments of any sort on food right now just seems to make it taste worse, like battery acid or something. Gross. Even water tastes disgusting and I have to drink a ton of it because somehow I feel thirsty all the time.

Whoever passed this stupid bug to me, damn you. Damn you to hell.
