Sore throat. Throbbing head. No appetite. Can't sleep no matter how hard I try. Even chemical help [codeine cough syrup, the kind that also contains silly amounts of alcohol and chloroform] isn't putting me down.

The worst part is the noise. For some reason, whenever I'm tired my tinnitus gets worse. Like, a LOT worse. I keep thinking the fire alarm is going off.

Need sleep soon. It's now past the 36 hour mark.

Pretty sure I'm coming down with something. My throat is swollen, I feel utterly rancid, my bones are aching...

And, I'm working 4 days next week, two full, two lunch cover. I won't be missing any of them, either. I'm just gonna work through it this time.

Why is it that pigeons can live on shit and leftovers eaten off the street and live just fine, but I get sick every time I cuddle a baby? Why can't I have the immune system of a pigeon?
