This photo makes sickness seem glamorous, with that lemon floating in a huge mug of tea, swimming in the fluffy goodness that is my ikea down comforter. This photo is a lie. I can’t stop drinking this tea….or my throat will hate me. I’m spending my time in bed looking up ways to make homemade lozenges. This will have to wait till I’m better, and hopefully I won’t have to actually use them! (Maybe something for my herb project…hmmm).

I’ve called off all my outings for tomorrow. Maybe this sickness is just what I needed. It’s the harsh reality when your body starts to shut down just so that you can give it the rest and relaxation it’s been missing for so long. Body, do you not know that I’m in grad school and have important things to get done!?
