Still sick, ugh

selenayI ended up taking a sick day yesterday, because this cold refuses to go away. Today I still feel like crap, but I'm at work because we have air conditioning and I'm hoping it will help my poor, asthmatic, drowning lungs. The city is currently blanketed with massive humidity, which isn't helping me at all. So far, the jury is out on how much this is helping.
Three coworkers have already told me I should go home, so maybe the jury isn't that far out...
I spent yesterday curled up with Netflix. Got through some TNG (Best of Both Worlds pts 1 and 2), some DS9 (Sons of Mogh and Bar Association), some Person of Interest (two S3 episodes), and the second episode of The West Wing.
And finished it off with some Midsommer Murders. Mum and I were playing spot the location. We think the part of Midsommer Worthy was played by Dorchester - Mum recognised an arch.
All the TV watching was in an effort not to make my rotten cold-induced headache any worse by reading all day. That was what I did on Monday, and it definitely did not help much.
I'd been hoping to be better today, because Dad arrives this afternoon for a three week visit. He always gets distressed when I'm ill, but no such luck. Damn. The fun thing about being sick is the part where I got to inject myself with immunosuppressants yesterday. It always feels counter-intuitive--have a virus, kill your immune system anyway!--but it's not worth taking the risk of making my IBD flare up by skipping them.
Apparently we have ice-cream sundaes in the lunchroom soon, courtesy of our staff association. I'm sure ice-cream will help a cold, right?
