Constant runs to the bathroom to solve the bladder problem? Check.
Nose both obstructing my breathing and yet still grabbing for whatever air it can get? Check.
Illness taking over my life just as April Fools' Day was about to end? Check.
Sick as the proverbial dog when a student actually did need a day off so that I did not miss any work? Check.
Sympathy from complete strangers and the like over social media? Check.
Happy news from Vocal over recent work? Check.
