I feel like crap. My head hurts, my nose is filled with some sort of yellow green brown yellow/green/brown gunk, I go from hot to cold to back again, and my body aches.

In short: I feel like crap.

I even slept for about thirteen hours last night, after taking a nap for most of the afternoon. Which is freaky-deaky, especially for me.

At least I am on the road to recovery now, and will be well enough to go and visit my grandparents tomorrow. <3

Also, apparently yesterday was one of the coldest days on record here. Went down into the minuses. Which is cold.

When I was in Germany in late November/early December, they were apparently having a warm winter (so far - I don’t know what happened after I left mid-way through). In the area around Köln, for example, they were having somewhere around 14 degrees some days, which for me wasn’t so bad. But when I was hanging around with people at Uni Wuppertal they were shocked that I was not piling on the clothes as it went below 15 degrees.

Of course, I was shocked to see them do just that. I would have thought that somewhere like Germany, where it did actually get cold, would be more used to it than me, who, well… isn’t. Apparently Dunedin life has made me more rugged than a German.

Who’d have thunk?

    I’m sorry you’re feeling cruddy. D: That’s never any fun, but rest is probably the best thing for you right now, considering how you feel. Thus, the thirteen hours of sleep on top of the nap is GOOD. I know you probably think it sucks, but it’ll definitely help get rid of whatever crud is trying to attach itself to you.

    Anyway, I hope you feel better soon! *snugs* Take care, Catherine! :3

    Thanks.

    And you’re right - the oodles of sleep really did help. I felt much better yesterday, and today the worst was a small period of “oh, shoot - am I losing my voice?” while I was work. But that was at the start, and it turned out to be fine. Hopefully though that wasn’t a warning sign that I might wake up tomorrow with nada.

    [...] fear, loyal readers! What? I have readers? *cough* After my run in with the dreaded illness, the worst thing I had to deal with over the weekend was a few periods of saying “I’m [...]
