It was only a matter of time, wasn’t it? I mean, Wendi has been sick for ages, her dad’s been hacking and snuffling and coughing; is it any wonder that I finally came down sick last night? Of course that didn’t keep me from this morning’s department-head meeting! No way sir.

It might keep me strapped to the bed tonight and tomorrow, though. Bleah. I’m feeling more and more drained and useless as the hours toll slowly by.

Time for some of that chicken ramen and lots of NyQuil, baby.
