So, yes, am ill again, with bronchitis this time, which means I had about four days in which I was mostly healthy (tissues almost untouched! nighttime coughing nearly gone!) before the insanity that was my return to school and the corresponding rise in stress and decrease in sleeping hours per night, added to an already overtaxed immune system and the fact that everyone and their brother has some sort of disease right now, culminated in the onset of my least favorite viral complication. There were a number of years where it seemed like bronchitis was the inevitable companion of every cold I caught, so much so that I even mistakenly assumed that wheezing and internal organ-producing coughs were a normal part of the cold cycle. Apparently they aren't, or so I learned during those two blessed years when I caught colds that were just colds and found that true cold-related coughs could be mild and incidental.

Thankfully it was just really bad luck that made last week so stressful; having today off makes this week very, very mild. Anyone who even thinks of breathing on me will receive my own trademarked Look of Death, and I'm currently taking enough vitamins to keep several natural foods stores in business for another month. New year's resolution, a couple weeks late but sincerely heartfelt, is do not get sick again, amen.

oh, i'm so sorry! one of my co-workers has a terrible sore throat. it might have been due to, or inflamed by, the dust and grime from scraping up her friend's linoleum the other day. but still. she's not too happy right now. i'm paranoid myself. all those people all day- germ fest indeed.

you better get better in time for vivaldi!
