Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg

I found out that this thing I've gotten is definitely going around campus - one of the women at the staff assembly meeting I dragged myself to had a sore throat and exhaustion last week. Of course *she* didn't have any coughing. What do I get tonight? Coughing. And when I get a cough with a cold, it's scary because I start and can't stop. It's now almost 1 AM on a weeknight and I haven't been able to get to sleep because I start coughing. I've just drugged myself with Nyquil and I guess I will sit here and watch Heroes 2 until I am so tired I can't help but fall asleep.

In conclusion: aarg.

Orgasm and orange juice.

I swear, I'm not being gross or sophomoric. There's real science, here.

OJ has loads of vitamin C, which is well known for boosting the immune system. Orgasm causes the release of endorphins, which boost the mood and make you feel better despite illness. It also releases anti-histamines, and also stimulates the production of (IIRC) mast cells and neutrophils. Plus, it tends to make one rather sleepy. Best of all? No drug side effects or interactions!

Now that sounds like good advice! XD

But...there's a bright side 'cause you'll be caught up on Heroes, right? Right?

Maybe not.

I HATE THIS STUFF. The worst part is mine hasn't resolved itself into anything-- it's just general exhaustion, inability to concentrate, and feeling like shit.

Ughughugh. I'm now awake and not happy about it - coughing, congestion, and general ugh-ness.

I'm staying up so I won't miss my therapy appointment and get charged.

I rescheduled my hair appointment, so you KNOW I'm really sick.

i hope you really enjoyed heros ep. 2. i personally like how all the characters have had most of their powers in some form or another their whole lives. one example is mr. police officer. he thinks he can make a good detective because he can hear people's thoughts. obviously, he's been at it for a bit. but he doesn't pass the exam because an exam paper has no brain. i think that makes sense... also, the brothers that seems to have a mind connection. the younger one (peter) mentioned that he had used it before. and, yeah Hiro(?) is awesome, i think. he seems to have to most control of anyone. also, there's a little clip of the actor on the website, and hes speaking english, and his voice is really deep. its way weird.
feel better!
