The fever-heat came finally last night, blazing higher and higher until he fled to the far side of the bed, refusing to touch me. I burrowed deeper in the blankets, stoked it with my breath, turned myself florescent, and let it burn.
This morning the rasp is still there in my throat, but the head-full-of-leaves is gone, the ache-in-the-joints is gone, and I even agreed to go into work an hour early.
I will, however, bring my tea with me.

My heart cries for you. Do get well soon....

The management at my cafe is definitely twatty like that - rumor has it they tried to make one girl come with with a confirmed case of strep throat - they wanted her to wear a mask.
Would you buy coffee from a sick-looking, miserable person in a mask?
