i have never had a boomerang cold before but at 01:12 i woke up feeling worse than i had all week. it was a miserable night of coughing and sniffling and getting up to blow my nose and itchy eyes and congestion headache. how does that happen after feeling mostly fine the last two days? the crummy thing is that i’d like to give blood today but i don’t think you’re supposed to when you’re sick. granted, i can probably mask it for the brief duration of blood-letting, but is that wrong? there’s another blood drive going on monday but we’ve got dentist appointments so i know we’re not going to have the time for it. we’ll see. maybe, just maybe, i’ll get feeling all better by this afternoon.
