“First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.”
– Steve Martin

I’ve been feeling under the weather for a few days now, kittens, but I was determined to not take any time off until the new year and so just tried to tough it out.  However at work today, all the girls up front, Hennessy, and Susie all said I looked a right mess, just like the plague victim I was desperately pretending not to be.  Round about lunchtime, I threw in the towel.

So I’m at home, with the chills, a very sore throat, and a massive headache.  Ick.
