Cough cough... ::groan::

All I'm saying is that I had better not be sick.

I've already had the wimpy, I-feel-miserable-but-I'm-not-on-the-brink cold this fall. In fact, I had it twice. It came, it went... then it came back for seconds. What's up with that?

Now I think I got something from one of my students. Darling children, really -- makes me want to shower in hand sanitizer. I hope I never sucked on my fingers as a kid. What does that even taste like?

ewww... I can't believe I just tasted my finger. What's wrong with me?

Coughing, for one. I never cough... like, ever. I just don't do it. And it's not even the really cool, booming COUGH!!!! kind of cough -- just the usual cough cough wheeze kind. Oh, and my right eye is kinda itchy. For the past few days, my right eye has felt irritated... right in the corner closest to my nose! How weird, I know. It looks perfectly fine, but just itches to all hell at times. I've taken to eye drops, but I've never used those before. Can you become dependent upon them?

Probably -- you can get addicted to anything these days. Like finger-sucking. Ughh....

The CD ripping is going much better, as is the Holiday knitting. I'm almost finished with John's hat. The pattern I'm using has me knitting with 2 strands of worsted weight (both ends of the ball) on size US 8's -- I feel like I'm making carpet! Seriously, it feels like knitting a cardboard box. But let them never be able to say that I was of little faith! I trust this free, slightly unpopular pattern more than a Surgeon General warning.

I hope it doesn't suck.

I have tomorrow morning to look forward to -- lots of kids and lots of runny noses. Until then, I'm not leaving my apartment. I'm already in bed, and I don't plan on moving.

Hey, this is kinda nice. I should be pitiful-sick more often!
