I know this seems kind of silly, and obviously I hate being sick, but despite the fact that since the minute I woke up this morning I've been able to little more than sit in a chair, cough, and breathe abnormally loudly, today hasn't been so horrible. I took the day to try and recuperate so that I can face the rest of what looks like to be a very heavy week, and in the meantime caught up with a few tv shows as well as my parents and a few friends I hadn't talked to in awhile. It was nice. You know, aside from the annoying head cold.
Being sick sucks, and I remember how miserable I was the first time I got sick away from home, without my mother there to take care of me. But there's something empowering about realizing that I can handle being sick all by myself, and something comforting about discovering that I really don't have to.
