Selective Attention

Last night I suddenly came down with a nasty 'flu type cold. The kind where my nose and head are all bunged up, joints ache, I'm tired and bright light is a bit painful. No, not a hangover...

Anyway, I've spent most of today lying around on my bed under a blanket and feeling sorry for myself. A shame, because I not only had to cancel plans to go to goth night at the Cellar with Nick and Christian, but I'm supposed to be going to a conference Friday. Don't know if I'll feel up to that now. That aside though, it's been a nice day...
