About six days ago I came down with my annual illness. Normally I'm really healthy, something about fools not getting sick or something but about once a year an illness is powerful enough to overwhelm my defenses. When I get sick I am pretty much worthless. I am totally spaced out, tired, and sleepy until I'm healthy again.

This particular illness is much like most that I get. It doesn't matter what it started out as. With me it will become a sinus infection and a sore throat. This one has the added benefit of coughing. Hopefully that particular phase is done because I'm not much for coughing.

So anyway, I've been ill for most of a week now. Today is actually the first day I've been able to concentrate enough to read or write more than about a paragraph. Theoretically that means I'm getting well. Either that or it means the Sudafed I bought yesterday is working. Speaking of Sudafed; this is supposed to be the non-drowsy kind. I've been really sleepy and yawning all day from it though. Not only that I feel like my mind is more than a little disconnected and I'm floating. I definitely shouldn't be operating heavy machinery. I've been having issues just walking.

Aside: My roommate just walked by laughing and talking to himself. I hate it when people wear handsfree earthingies with their cellphones. It makes me have to work that much harder to figure out if they are nuts or talking on a cellphone. This has become quite the plague lately in Seattle.

I had some entertaining and interesting point when I started writing this but I've totally forgotten what it was. Go, go, Sudafed!
