22:52 by FoxTwo Yeah I hate being sick. Aside from the initial euphoria of "Yay! I'm not going to work today!", the rest of it is pretty crappy.
First of all, I feel lousy. My nose runs, the throat's sore, and when people call me up on the phone I can't really talk. Then, the constant coughing just messes me up. The meds don't really help either - they make me sleepy all day long, and I just lie prostrate on the bed. In fact my body clock went haywire yesterday when I woke up in the middle of the night at 1.30am. Yeah I had been taking the meds and they knocked me out all day.
Since I was up at 1.30am, I may as well get some game time in. Bad idea. Being sick also throws off my reflexes. I actually fired upon friendly targets in the games. Good thing I'm not playing online or my teammates might kick me for teamkills. If I were in an MMO, I'd probably get kicked from the party too, for not healing or not paying attention.
It's worse because yesterday was a holiday eve, and I had a lot of SMSes asking me "Tonight go where huh?" to which I had to reply "Nowhere, I'm sick so I'm stayin' home" to every single one of them.... that totally sucks.
I had also planned to catch up on my workouts, as well as finally getting down to expanding my website by adding a whole new section of it. All went undone of course, because I was hardly conscious long enough to get anything done! No new pages, sucky at games, have to decline all invitations to go out...
Yup, I hate being sick.
