I loathe being sick. And yet again, here I am. Sore throat, fever, all-over body ache that feels like several someones decided to see what fox puree looks like. That, plus gastrointestinal upset best left to some horror writer's imagination.

I do believe I'll stay home next week just to recover from this. It's still ramping up, and with my sicks, it takes time for them to ramp down again.
