Sick Sat Sucks.

21.Nov.09 (土）

I'm sick!! What started out as a worrisome scratch in the back of my throat with the cooling of Autumn has progressed into a full blown, throat-on-fire, can't-eat-can't-sleep pain in my, well, throat. I tried to deny it, i tried to use positive language. Instead of saying " i feel sick" i would say "i'm keeping healthy." I was taking my vitamins and drinking my echinacea tea. But alas, to no avail. There's goes my healthy streak. Oh well.

So i am taking the day off work today. My job involves a LOT of talking all day and i barely have a voice now (9 a.m.). It also involves a lot of sitting in small rooms teaching one-on-one with Japanese people, who tend to be germophobic (and who can blame them these days?). So i will keep it to myself if i can, and i will use today to rest and try to sleep, drink lots more tea and, through the cough syrup fog, try to catch up on some much behind blogging.

This is actually the first post of my renewed blogging effort, and i will publish retroactively back as far as the beginning of June `09. Filling in holes of time and space with half-memories and random otherness. Just for my own amusement, i will do so in no particular order. I wonder if Blogger will put them up in order of when i first drafted them or when i am now publishing them. We shall see...

By the way, my thumb is fine. Just a little sore, but once again mobile. No video games for a few days, though, i think.
