Down with the sickness. (Trying something new)

Today was good, for the morning anyway. Wal was off sick so we had Neil all day which was fun. Looked again briefly at flexible cables and circuit diagrams. Then in the afternoon disaster struck! I had had a little bit of a sore throat/cough yesterday on and off, nothing major with a slightly more major runny nose, thought oh no im getting a cold but first time in 2-3 years so not too bad then it calmed down yesterday evening and didn't rear up again today so thought nothing of it. Then, the cough came back and got worse fast and in about 10 minutes it was throat almost blocked from all the phlegm bad :( so after leaving the classroom a couple times to cough ferociously and spit up phlegm in the bathroom so i didn't suddenly suffocate I thought I better go home as rhino viruses are not something happily shared (see what i did there? managed to relate this to last week's post in a terrible pun way!) As I was then wondering where the nearest place was to unclog my throat I gladly remembered the cafeteria place there had throaties so I quickly rushed down there, glad to find it open and bought a pack. Then proceeded to suck them one at a time, one after another as any time I didn't have one in my mouth I started hurting and choking more. I finished all but 3 (out of 10) by the time class finished, getting more and more time for each as I was slowly wearing down the flood. (even had a large gaseous burp after a few consisting of what I guess was evaporated phlegm, nice.) Then had the last 3, one on the way to morgan's to sort out my bike charger, then one on way home and one while I was at the supermarket getting more and something more potent (yay lemsip) so it all worked out rather well.
Wow never thought I could make being sick sound so exciting, maybe not for others on second thought.

Otherwise moreorless prepared for tomorrow's maths test now and I have lost my train of thought as was just afk for about half an hour so I'll leave it at that until tomorrow where I will be hopefully less sick, or doped up on lemsip/throaties all day and hopefully not distracting everyone in test with coughs etc too.

So for now hope to sleep well too as it was not the best sleep last night and hope I don't choke on my phlegm in sleep.
