Random thoughts on being slightly sick
So I have a cold. It began on Sunday with a throat thing, and the throat thing is finally starting to go away, but it has since moved into my nose. Of course.
Anyway, I realized that it is rather ironic that while my body needs more sleep when I am sick, it seems I am more likely to wake up in the middle of the night and thus not get said sleep. Of course, it would also help, I suppose, to go to bed a bit earlier... (silly taxes... but at least they are getting done.)
I also don't know how many of you have an internal voice - i.e. "hear" yourself thinking inside your head in your own voice - but I do. And I am finding it somewhat strange that my mental voice is sounding about as hoarse as my actual voice. So when I hear myself think, I sound as sick as when I speak.
At least my mental voice is not slowed down by coughing fits. That's gotta count for something...
