sick & bored

i'm on MC today... and based on my medical claims history, the last time i did a claim was in february last year. this means that i've been generally healthy (at least well enough to avoid the doc) the past year. this also supports my claim that i need to fall sick on an average of once a year, to build up my body's immunity against the deadly viruses. it's nearly impossible to get through the cny season without at least one miserable bout of sore throat... mine was going on and off for the past two weeks, and it finally developed into a terrible cough. it gets much worse in the night, and it's as if i'm coughing my lungs out. the antibiotics and cough syrup seem to be working fine, the phlegm is very much gone, and hopefully i'll be well again by the time i wake up tomorrow. being sick is really no fun.
