sniffles

most people i know have been sick with a cold lately - and i finally got it last weekend. it's been great - my nose is constantly running like a tap, my eyes are all red and watery, and i sneeze about a million times a day. my friend chris even said something like, "what's wrong with your face?" when he came over for lunch yesterday. i looked up "common cold" in google images and this picture came up:

how scary is that? this is part of why i didn't go to work yesterday. i hate being sick, but one thing i like about it is that i get to stay in my jammies all day, read books and go to bed early.
