i smell... tea

Waking up today wasn't good. It was seven AM and my throat felt like it was trying to eat me... a very interesting sensation, but not one I'd care to repeat. I spent a few minutes gurgling at the ceiling, hoping my voice would hear my cries and come out of hiding. No such luck. And I think I confused the poor ceiling. So I went back to sleep. I woke up again much later, stumbled about a bit finding clothes, my voice, and the courage to face the world. Checked my email - then noticed a brightly colored stack of envelopes slid under the door. Real world mail! Yay!

I had gotten a Valentines card from Brady yesterday. Today I got one from my parents and one from grandma, as well as a letter from grandma, so now my desk is very colorful indeed ^.^ The cards are all greatly appreciated - the letter too. I like having tangible contact with the real world... er, that is, America...

So I debated skipping grocery shopping, but I really needed honey for my tea, so I went. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Even though I'm sick, I didn't need a hat or scarf, and I even opened my coat. Grocery shopping was uneventful. I'm annoyed with myself for buying the wrong kind of pads >.< Now I have two packs of useless feminine products. Ok guys... what are some creative uses for these things?

Er, anyway.

Yeah, bought my honey and lots of soup. Went back to the dorm and began work on the essay. But the noise level gradually increased to an intolerable state and I was forced to stop and read webcomics. Drat.

So far I've drunk three cups of tea, alternating with cough drops. Seems to be the only thing that keeps me from coughing.

Anyway, I'm in the mood for angsty drama now, which is annoying. I need junk food lit : P To the internets!
