Being ill sucks

I have a headache, a sore throat, and a runny nose. It started yesterday and I’ve been to the doctor - apparently it’s just a “virus” and it will go away over the next few days.

Unfortunately, I’m busy for the next few days and being ill is the last thing I need! I’m going down to London to stay with a friend, watch the new Johnny Depp film, and see two thirds of Simple Plan’s “Tour of Camden.” I’ll be in a busy city (I’m used to the countryside) with loads of people, loads of traffic exhaust fumes, and loads of noise!

Gah! Why can’t I be ill another time, like next weekend? Unanticipated illnesses suck.
