You Give Me FEVER.

Oh spasms and heartbreaks. I've been terribly ill for an entire week and five days now. And counting!

The previous Saturday, a dear friend accidentally passed me her contagious cold sores, a skin infection by the Herpes virus (no, not the STD kind). Since then, I've had gross blisters developing all over my mouth and been suffering from high fever, flu, cough, splitting headaches, giddiness and, worst of all, the loss of my voice.

Recovery has been steady but the skin infection, cough and flu are all still haunting me. It's exasperating being so ill for so long. I feel like death has warmed up and my mind, body and soul have been getting immensely weaker by the day.

Last week marked the beginning of my long-awaited off and leave clearance that lasts pretty much until my ORD. In 2 days, I would have officially wasted 2 weeks of leave and off that I had waited all year to clear and enjoy.

What a time to fall ill. Seriously.
