"...Get up, c'mon, get down with the Sickness..."

What would possess me to quote Tool (I think that's the band) in my subject line? Cuz I am one sick mother. And not in the hip, slang-like way.

I missed three days of work this week (hence no posts or responses to email), and probably could have gotten out of coming today, but today's the "pre-holiday" goof-off/party day. We're going out to eat, on the hospital's tab. Fun times.

I got some kinda nasty in my lungs, my throat's swollen, sore, and raggedy, and I've been feverish. Ugh.

At least, I know it's not the flu. Cuz I got my shot. That makes me safe...right...
