DMK is coming from Austin. He's either already there (he can set up accomodations for himself), and if not, he'd be going a different route than me anyway, so a ride doesn't work out at this point.
Again, I was expecting to be feeling better by now. But I'm still coughing up a storm and my throat is apparently angry simply existing right now. I'm loading up batteries of pills here and there - vitamin C, benadryll, cough suppressants, etc - but they aren't doing much for the symptoms. I already know this is a virus, so antibiotics wouldn't do a thing for me.
Again, this is day...what...5 of feeling bad? Usually these things run their course hardest with me for three days, and by the fourth day after I'm feeling much better. Doesn't seem to be the case here. Seems like there's a bad strain of...something running around here lately - lots of students are sick also. So I've got whatever is floating around in the air. Really bad cold compounded (potentially) with allergies - pollen count is high.
I had PM'd DMK and said I wasn't going to let it phase me, but this shit just doesn't want to back down, and the blur ceased to be interesting 3 days ago.
This string of tourneys - HOBO as they are abbreviated - appears to be monthly. So missing this one isn't going to change much, since next month I'm sure the same conditions will apply. So I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much.
