ugh...

Today was spent sick in bed. I woke up with possibly the worst headache I've ever had. And no, it had nothing to do with alcohol. I woke up around 5am and couldn't get back to sleep--my head was pounding. I called Nova at 8am and told them I couldn't come in today. The guy said, "are you going to the doctor?" I had to fight the urge to respond with, "that's really none of your concern." I'm not so friendly early in the morning, especially when I'm sick. Needless to say, they weren't happy. Probably a good thing I resigned because sick days aren't really Nova's thing, and I've had four of them in the past three months. Unfortunately, it's the season for sickies.

I always found it curious that Japanese people wear face masks when they're ill, but for some reason refuse to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. I mean, women cover their mouths when they laugh or smile, but not when they cough or sneeze. Why is that, do you think?

Anyway, it's 6pm, and I'd say it's time to jump in the shower. Maybe that will help me get rid of this headache. Silver lining: tomorrow's my last day of work.

Hope you're all feeling better than me. Take care.
