Bleah

Whee, it's officially an upper respitory infection. Viral. ie, a cold. However, this sudden freakish explosion of symptoms indicates that the infection is successfully being pushed out and I'll be better in a few days. Let's hear it for vitamins and fluids!

I think it's going around. Not really the flu--just annoying cold infections. And what with the weather being disgusting, it's almost expected. *sigh* Called Ray this morning before going in to work; he advised me to stay home. Apparently, a few other people at the firm are out as well; there was actually a firm-wide email cautioning people to stay healthy this week and stay home if necessary. Damn. But as bad as I feel about not working, I know I have a bunch of personal hours I need to use up, or I'll lose them. So I might as well use my sick days. I hope I can go back tomorrow. Besides, I have my hometown to visit next week. I refuse to be sick for that. But my body tells me that the infection is almost out, so yay. In the meantime, more snuggling under my down quilt till I get ravenously hungry again., which should be soon.

Songs for you

( Afterglow )

For my greatest love. Always and forever, I am yours.

And for you...you my beautiful angel, dead so young. You were the first man to touch my lips, tenderly touch my body; you were the first to make me feel as if I was the most amazing girl in the world. You who still visits me in my dreams and my hazy vision quests that burst like fireworks behind my eyes. These songs are for you because our First Kiss song at fourteen was Possession, and every time I hear Sarah McLachlan I think of you. I wish I could have kept in touch when college separated us. I wish I could have been there when the news broke from Tennessee to New York. I wish...I wish you could have told me that the headaches were aneurysms. I wish I could have held your hand and kissed you sometime before you died, alone in your dorm room for two long days. I wish we could have had all those days we'd promised each other. But I knew I'd always had your blessing when I fell in love with Adam. You would have liked each other. I wish...I always, always wish. Because you were the first. And I did love you. I wish I could have told you. But I think you knew. I hope you still know.
