Update from the Leper Colony.

So today's the day. Second week of lectures and I've already had to email in sick.

I'd like to stress here that I AM ACTUALLY SICK. I'm not taking a sick day so that I can laze around watching television, or do some work that's overdue. I'm sick. Our whole house is sick. Our living room is a sea of tissues and is set thick with the stench of death rhinovirus. It is, in the words of my boyfriend, not ideal.

I hate being sick. There's nothing worse than coughing up phlegm, having an eternally blocked nose, shivering  under multiple blankets and every possible part of your body aching. Add in the fact that I didn't have a particularly great night at work last night and I got caught in a ridiculous downpour, I feel like Satan's faeces right about now. As much as I want to find something healthy and delicious to eat, I'm so lethargic that the best I have managed so far is some chocolate and now some SuperNoodles. I'll probably die of malnutrition before the cold, but I cannot bring myself to make anything nutritious. I am currently watching Jeremy Kyle and feeling my bones rattle under my duvet. Not really what I wanted from my day.

In other news, my two year anniversary with Rob is creeping up faster and faster. I'm very excited! He's treating me to lots of little surprises that I know nothing about as well as some I do, and it's just like when we first got together. He always surprises me with little things like my favourite dessert or a funny little gift, and I love that, but somehow the excitement of going out to dinner in a new place takes me back two years to when I would have been lost without him. Even if I lost him now, I still don't know what I'd do.

I think this is all of my musings. Perhaps I'll post again soon, but hopefully I'll be feeling better.
