Sick...

I got that niggling little feeling yesterday that I was coming down with a cold or some other awful illness. And by golly, I was right on the money. Today I've been feeling blech: one side of my nose is runny, my throat is irritated, and my ear is feeling blocked up (and it's now popping, fabulous). I'm a miserable sick person, and I know it. I think it stems from the fact that I'm not sick very often. In fact, downright infrequently sick. Aside from the week of allergy death that I suffer in the spring, I usually only get sick once a year, if that! So yes, I'm whiny.

Tonight was particularly bad--I worked for the first time since the Sunday before Thanksgiving. My night was compounded by the fact that there were tickets lost and thus my food took FOREVER to come out and I'm still learning the ropes of the ordering system (it's all abbreviations, and for the most part I know them, but tonight the ones I don't know threw me off my game). I think my manager was understanding, but I still feel like a pain due to my need to do everything right! I'm praying that tomorrow is very easy, and it should be: Sunday mornings are a brunch buffet, so I worry about drinks.

Of course, it's finals week too! Oh joy of sickness.
