I live in a world of constant, unending pain. It is with me throughout the day. It troubles my sleep. It depletes me within a few hours of waking, such that I must sleep again or let reality slip from my grasp. I eat very little, when at all, for every swallow is a test of my endurance.

Unfortunately I'm not just being emo, that's pretty much been my life for the past three days. Worst part about it all is that I don't have a fever or vomitting, so I can't get off of work, but my financial situation is such that I wouldn't want to anyway. Still, I start to get really cranky after about 3 hours on the job, and I'm never as productive as I usually am.

Something wierd's going on with my nervous system on the left side of my mouth, too, such that every tooth is hyper-sensitive and my cheek seems to throb with every heartbeat. For the record, though-- it's still not as bad as whatever it was I caught at FC 2010. I'm about to down 3 tabs of expired Ibuprofen in the hope that it will still have some effect. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[EDIT: Wow, that worked surprisingly well, actually. Do these things gain strength after they expire? Pity I can't go to work like this.]
