Sickness.

I had it again.

This past week I was shrugging off the last remains of being super sick the week prior. Since I love you readers so much, I'm going to share the fever-addled highlights, as recorded in my AIM/ICQ away messages.

Day 1: I'm really sick. Mouth is like a desert. No voice. Sore and exhausted. If you need to leave a message, do so, but who knows when I'll reply.

Day 2: I'm asleep, and will remain that way until the wee hours of the afternoon.

Day 3: Now I'm sore in different ways in different places, my nose is running constantly and the only reason I seem to be coughing now is because of awful post nasal drip. You're welcome.

Day 5: I'm not quite as sick as I was before. Today/Yesterday (it's after midnight) I got up at I think 10 AM and made a bowl of soup, went back to sleep, didn't wake up until 11 PM. That's more sleeping than I've done since I got sick, so I think that helped. Now I can kinda talk, but not really, but my mouth is less like a desert. I'm also not as dizzy and I think the fever is gone. I still feel pretty shitty, and am coughing and my nose is running constantly. It's not one of those annoying coughs where you cough constantly, it's one of those coughs where you don't cough for an hour, but when you do you cough REALLY hard and you cough up some big disgusting glob. There, now you know more than you wanted to.

Day 7: Yay, it's finally winding down. The nasal drip is mostly gone, now I just have the whole guts thing to worry about, and we're good to go.

It's gotten much better since then, but I haven't been real eager to update ye olde Masterforce.org while hacking up mysterious things. Anyhow, I'm pretty good now, so I promise tomorrow I'll put up a couple of articles I have in my backlog, as well as some more ancient Japanese toy commercials.
