the equivalent of no fun...i.e. pity me
Scenario:
Canada. Remote college town.
Me. Meeting new colleagues for the first time. Desiring to make a good impression.
Me sick.
Me getting sicker.
Me with watery eyes during meetings.
Me carrying a box of Kleenex with lotion to these meetings.
Me with a runny nose that won't stop.
Me with a cold drug-induced haze clouding my senses.
Me unable to sleep at night despite a gorgeous hotel room and super cozy bed.
Me with cough syrup that doesn't help on the nightstand next to the bed.
Me waking up every twenty minutes every night long.
Me not tasting a single bit of the expensive meal my bosses boss paid for last night.
Me wanting nothing more than to be at home curled up with my kitty, cold compresses on my eyes and Joe hanging out with my miserable self.

Oh my gosh! I feel so bad: my country's not being a good host at all to you, is it? See if room service can rustle you up something soothing for the throat or check out the local pharmacy.

Well at least you look good with your tan.

Yikes. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Where in Canada are you at?

In Waterloo.
Feeling marginally better this morning.
Oddly enough, Joe and I figured out that the last time I was sick was when I was in Montreal. So it MUST be Canada! ;p
And funny enough, people here have mentioned how white I am, Paulette! And I am really tan!! Sad, huh? I'm a pasty freak.
