Over the last week or so, I've been staying up later than I should be simply because I don't want to get off Skype with the guy I'm very quickly connecting with. As a result, my sleep patterns have been off and I'm getting even less than what I normally get, which is far less than the recommended in order to stay healthy.

So my immune system decided to say fuck you and I'm pretty damn sick today. I actually have a low-grade fever. I'm achy and I keep getting chills. My nose is raw from blowing it so much. My throat keeps getting dried out, which makes me feel like I'm choking and thus resulting in my eyes welling up and my breathing all a mess.

I called off from work today and I will most likely call off from work tomorrow, despite the fact that the security job is a lot easier to do when sick than the cashier job, but if I can't shake this fever, I'm in no shape to be working. Especially if I can't sleep due to feeling like I'm choking every time I lay down.

So thank you, immune system, for putting me back in my place in a rather rude way. Effective, yes, but still still rude. Oversleeping through my alarm and being late for work once would have sufficed. I am learning my lesson, however, and I'll be making sure that my Skype dates end before 11, instead of 12:30.

My immune system has let me down. I sound like I smoke three packs a day, and my nose drips like a faucet. Ugh.

Our immune systems just can't keep up with us!
