Holiday sickness

I would first like to thank everyone who gave me support for my powerpoint presentation. One thing that I realized is that I needed to practice multiple times. I tended to get ahead of my slides.

Right now, I have this nasty cold, and so I'm going to do another short post. I need to find a medical study that proves how we're prone to getting sick during the holidays. I sometimes think my body says to me "It's alright to get sick now." Unfortunately, my parents drove all the way down from D.C, and now my body now tells me it's had enough. The fortunate news is that I have a number of helping hands. Lynn Bloom's account of how we, as academics, feel compelled to create this stiff upper lip and bear whatever pain comes our way doesn't seem to be the case with me. How are you feeling today "What do I know?" I freely admit that I feel lousy, and I shouldn't be blogging right now. My nose is stuffed up, my temperature is sitting around 100.1 degrees, and I want to be pampered. I have no stiff upper lip and neither did Montaigne who readily shared all his ailments with his readers and made no apologies. I feel better now that I've shared my "woe is me" post and a bit more honest.
