It's just not worth it.

I wake up with Martian Death Flu, am utterly miserable all day, finally drag myself out of bed to get tea and reassure the cats that I'm not actually dead, and find that Warren Zevon has passed away and Dougie Gilmour has retired.

What a lousy day. I'm going back to bed. See ya'll tomorrow.

HUGS and a virtual hot toddy. I hope you feel better, soon.

Thanks muchly. I should know better than to say that I very rarely get sick. Zap!

I seem to have come down with something as well, although you sound worse off. Big pity party for us, eh? I'll bring tissues and tea.

Ah, pobrecita. Your students may not bite (yet), but they do have germs, I guess. Are you able to take it easy and recover a bit with tea and sleep, at least? Having to work while germy is evil.

Well, I still have to work, but I'm ahead with my lesson plans, so I've been able to come home afterwards and have naps when needed. I brought my stash of chammomile tea with me to the school, so I'm never without my tea.

How goes your Martian death flu?

Oh good, at least you have a little breathing space. Or napping space. That really does help, I think. I remember some study a couple of years ago that said most Americans are permanently over-tired, which is why we're prone to things like fun mystery diseases and road rage and Jeepers Creepers 2. Makes sense to me.

Martian Death Flu, well, it goes. I'm still not sure where I got it, actually. I don't know any other sick people right now (other than you, oh emailed-virusy one *g*). It's like I caught something from the tomato plants or some old magazines or something. Very irritating.

I believe it. I think I'm also perpetually dehydrated as well, so it's a wonder I don't get sick more often.

Ooh, weird mystery virus of unknown origin. It sucks that any passing person could've given this to you, with only a tiny amount of contact or proximity. I hope it doesn't last too long.
