Being sick sucks

Being sick is the pits. These are the reasons why:

1. Mucous. Lots and lots of mucous. Everywhere. Mucous mucous mucous. Even swallowing a multitude of tablets doesn't stop the nose from dripping like a tap.

2. Having to breathe through your mouth when you're sleeping, so it gets all dry and yucky.

3. Walking around the house not knowing what to do with yourself, because the tablet you took made you go all dimwitted.

4. The said tablet making you feel like your whole head is full of cottenwool.

5. Having Tuesday night mens tennis begin yesterday, which you haven't played in 2 years or so, and not being able to play because your body's full of cottonwool and mucous.

6. Aches and pains. How can every muscle in your body ache at the same time?

7. A headache that sits right behind the eyes and in the eyes, that doesn't go away. Ever.

8. Starting teaching placement next week, not knowing whether you'll be well enough to go (also not wanting to contaminate the whole school), and know that if you miss a day, you'll have to make it up later. When you're not sick.

9. Snotting so much that your nose goes all dry and cracked, and even when you stuff tissues up there to create a blockage, all the snot runs down the back of your throat.

10. Coughing.

11. Sleeping 16 hours a day, and feeling stoned for the other 8 because you've slept too much.

That'll do.
