excused absence

I’ve had the flu for the past week. So has my roommate. There's something so sad about having the flu in September. It's a February disease, for good reason. It’s hard to think of anything less comfortable than having a fever when it is 90+ degrees and very humid. We woke each other with middle of the night coughing fits & then debated whether or not we were feverish or just really hot and sweaty. Not recommended.

It’s nice to be back to my not-needing-to-sleep-12-hours-a-day lifestyle.
