Plague

[extemporanea]

The cold that was threatening last week has hit full force today. Well, it's hit my sinuses at least. I had the beginnings of a sore throat on Thursday - it never got worse than a-little-bit-sore-and-kind-of-annoying but it's been a persistent little bugger and has left me feeling a bit under the weather nevertheless. I don't know which is worse, low-level pain for days or agony for 24 hours. There is nothing low level about the old sinuses though. I can't breathe and this means I can't sleep too well either, which would be kind of useful. The joys of too much stress and too little sleep for far too long. And the introduction to a whole country full of new germs!

Anyway, this pretty much sums up my day; a sat around the flat feeling sorry for myself, drinking tea, reading a paper and bonding with my new toy.
