Grumpus

Tonight I'm grumpy and feeling rather sorry for myself. Don't say I didn't warn you.

As per my usual excellent timing, mere days before what could be the busiest three-four weeks of my life, I have managed to get sick. Despite having told myself it is nothing but a mere throat infection (the kind that just sees me lose my voice but generally function regardless) I have had to come to terms with the idea that it is perhaps a little more than that. The wheezing sensation in my upper chest combined with the rapidly rising fever (which the panadol has stopped combatting) is leading me to believe that tomorrow may be a swift trip to the doctor. Argh! Why now? I've been looking forward to these few weeks for months now!

Gene's been wonderful today though, he dropped me off at work and then he took me to get some cough mixture (which is surprisingly yummy) and then went to the video store to get some videos to watch. So far we've watched Mr & Mrs Smith which wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Sure it's not the deepest of plots or most profound characters, but it was kind of cute and well chosen for my brain capacity at present. We're about two thirds of the way through Pleasantville but Gene's been hijacked my Nomes and Lisa to go drinking. I guess we'll finish watching it tomorrow some time.

Aside from getting sick I've been having a great time working hard and I'm still looking forward to the big days ahead. I can't believe it's only a matter of weeks away. I'm really excited and damn it I will be healthy for this experience!
