monday may 11

today i came down with a cold so unpleasant that i had no energy to do anything except lie down, cough, and blow my nose. the only silver lining was that, with mondays off this semester, i had no obligation to go to class, or go out at all. sadly, in a bit of an ironic twist, i ended up running out of kleenex, forcing me to lurch out of my house and down the street to shopper's drug mart to buy more. after running this errand, i didn't leave home again.
