Back when I worked at my old job as a mail clerk and package shipper, I got sick constantly. I knew then that the job was just a bit too much for me to deal with… but hey, what’s wrong with working open to close, Monday through Saturday? Right?
Since I got this new job about six years ago, I haven’t really been sick that often. I get the occasional cold, and I’ve had the flu only a couple of times. So why, now, does my body have to betray me in the days before I leave for Sakura-Con?
Yep. I’ve got a sore throat, the telltale swollen glands, and a moderately unpleasant little cough that won’t quite go away. Lovely, just frelling lovely. I leave tomorrow morning for five days in Seattle with a few thousand anime fans and my girlfriend. This is gonna be a blast…

Start taking lots of drugs now and it should help keep a lid on it… key word there is “should”
Hope you feel better or that the cold never fully develops!
Gotta love the curses going around….not!
Ok, that’s it – I’m going into hiding before it finds me. N has been home for three days with it.
The younger demonspawn & I are both starting to feel that coming on…so I’m wondering who all three of us have been exposed to?
Its inevitable that you’ll always catch a cold or feel sick either before or during a holiday. Its nature’s practical joke on us.
