Argh, why can't I have a normal sick day or even a sick week? Like right now, well, yesterday (Thursday), I got a 39.5 degree fever and now today when I checked my temperature, it's just 37 degrees. See? Even my fever has to be considerate of other people...!

Let me explain...

So there I was, feeling like crap, and all I wanted was to know what my temperature was, coz I could tell it was higher than normal. Then my brother and sister were like, what's a thermometer gonna do to lower the temperature?

Uh, I just want to know what my temperature is...?

And then they had a discussion on what to do with me, like, shouldn't I be taking a paracetamol? But she won't/doesn't want to. Shouldn't she have an ice pack? That'll be too much of a shock to her system, better a water and alcohol wipe down...

*sigh*

See? I have to be considerate. So now I have to school my body to just get a 24-36 hour sick leave, fever or otherwise, so war won't break out.

When will I get the time and opportunity to have a week long sick leave with all the perks?!

Not any time soon, that's for damn sure.

So... no more fever for me (YAY!) but my throat's hurting like hell. I'm thinking throat infection, but I can't be sure as I haven't been to the doctor yet. And I don't feel like going to one at all; it'll just be too much of a hassle for everyone involved. Too much hassle for them equals a lot more hassle for me, so no thanks.
