okay, I give up

Ugh. I have a respiratory infection; that squeaky voice is still there, now accompanied by a slight fever, chills, shakiness, and that awful chest constriction and those weird little wimpy coughs you get [you know, the ones where you can't breathe in fully, because it starts you coughing, but you don't have enough air to make them really productive coughs, so it's a string of little "khuh...khuh, khuh, khuh...khuh" ones that sound so silly]. It will be a while before it progresses to lung butter stage...that is much less pretty, but ever so much more productive [and let's face it, satisfying...nothing like a really deep cough to clear things up and give you a short moment of breathing freedom].

Sadly, I still need to head into work this morning; the IT consultant doesn't come in until 2pm today. Going to try to lie low and take it easy as much as possible...cross your fingers.

Luckily, germs don't transmit over the internet, so you are safe. Besides, you are running anti-virus software, aren't you?? [har har...geek humor]
