Status Ailments Removed

I think I finally feel better. For real this time. On Sunday, I felt pretty good, but I guess I had a bit of a relapse yesterday, because I simply could not function at work and ended up leaving at 8:00 in order to come home and sleep all day. I'm not entirely sure how many hours of sleep I got yesterday, but it was a lot. And now I'm fine. I'm still coughing, but it's not sick-related; I got a piece of gummy candy lodged in my throat earlier and am still feeling the discomfort from that. It's a funny story, actually (though a little disgusting, for which I apologize beforehand). I kept swallowing, hoping to dislodge the candy, but to no avail. I figured since it wouldn't go down, I ought to try and bring it back up. After a couple of pretty weak coughing attempts, I bent over and gave one final mighty effort, expecting the object to come flying out of my mouth. It did not. But it was no longer there, so I assumed it had slid down (though I didn't feel it). Some time later and because I have a bit of a runny nose, I let in a sniffle, only to have the candy particle re-enter my mouth from where it had been resting in my nose-hole. And so far, that's been the highlight of my day.

Tomorrow promises to be a short day at work; one of those side-caps and revisions days. Then I'm off until Sunday evening at 10:00. After that, I work starting at 11:00 PM Monday through Wednesday (into Thursday morning), which I really don't mind. Working while the store is closed is much easier and much more productive; plus we usually get fed ^_^

Which reminds me: I'm hungry. All I've had to eat today was Pop-Tarts, ice cream, cheesecake, and some...nose-candy. Heh.
