as I mentioned before, besides the actual pains of being sick it's kinda fun I get to stay home, drink soda and watch cartoons!!
Man, I know it. I had the flu in October '09 for the first time since I was maybe 10 years old, and whenever I hurfed up a glob of nasty yellow fluid from the back of my throat into a tissue, I thought to myself "heh, man, this sure takes me back!" instead of wailing and cursing my godawful diseased body. I sat around all day in my sweaty pajamas with an insane fever watching The Halloween Tree on TV and was pretty much totally okay with life.
