Love in the time of Swine Flu

Okay, y'all. I've had a super crappy couple of weeks. Dotted with
professional successes, including my first official business trip, the
past week or so also included a lot of illness. In addition to things
like panic attacks and a rough bout of insomnia, my ever-generous
girlfriend shared her nasty cold (I continue to call it the swine flu)
with me. I've never felt this achy, and the aches combined with a
rattling cough and mild nausea makes being awake a rather excruciating
feeling. I hate that she is still suffering; it's been almost a full
week for her, only a couple of days for me. She also doesn't believe
in medicine, whereas I have been pumping ibuprofen and mucinex (soon
I'll be also adding nyquil to the regimen) through my system as often
as the directions on the bottle will allow! I'm hoping I can make this
disappear by Monday. Ugh.

Be well, blog friends. A full update will follow soon, I promise.
