The Calm Before the Storm

I'm coming down with something, I can feel it. I woke up this morning with a slightly sore throat and I've been trying to fight it all day but it's no use. I can feel my ears sort of filling up, the area of the scratchiness in my throat expanding. When I wake, I know I'll be in hell.
So right now, I'm trying to prolong the inevitable(?) by not going to sleep. So here's this useless post!
