Colds are not cool

Am on the tail end of a nasty cold. I felt like cutting off all the parts that hurt, but scarcely anything would have been left.

I even wound up taking two days off of work. This is atypical of me, as my manly ego normally compels me to show up for work anyway. We're really busy at work though, and I know that I can't risk infecting any of my co-workers.

Just spent a few hours looking for affordable motel accommodations for a business trip. Most of the affordable hotels would have required a few expensive cab rides, which made this search particularly challenging. Ugh.

Now I have yet another big pile of reading material to contend with. Boy. I could really use some sleep. That, and some time to catch up on household chores.

Somebody please give me a sabbatical.
