Aaaah, December, the month to get sick. Have I told you about December 2007? I was ill right at the height of final exams. And the coughing had become really obnoxious. Even worse, it could disturb other people in the room during an exam... but luckily, someone had this brilliant idea to give me some pretty strong peppermint chewing gum and it stopped the coughing, at least for a while. And I nailed my exams :)

On Tuesday my nose stopped functioning for a while - unpleasant because I lose all sense of smell, which means I also lose 95% of my sense of taste. So everything turns into tasteless mush that I chew on for the sake of eating something.

Take good care of yourself. Just be careful with hot beverages - I burned my tongue pretty bad earlier this week when I tried to subdue my sore throat with some really hot tea.
