the flu bug

having a horrible case of the sniffles.. have just executed five sneezes in a row. have dark rings around my eyes. and there's this feeling as if a vacuum has been created up in the deep recesses of my nose and the air around me is being syphoned into my nasopharyngeal region. the nasal spray provided by the doc has resulted in.. well, let's just say i'll need a box of tissues within easy reach for the next few hours. i don't think i need any sedative medicine to doze off now.. except that i've got work to do and an mc i can't make use of tomorrow because of a thousand and one things to do in the office. (plus there'll be loads to be done before the boss goes on leave for a week!)
