I took a vacation from my vacation, and wouldn't you know, I came back sick. I felt it coming on slowly but steadily. I tried to ward it off with zinc, and that helped a little, except it really just held it at bay for a few days. Finally, it got to me. So here I sit at my desk, my head in a cloud, tissues surrounding me.
The weird habit I developed over the years is to try to hold in my sneezes. I don't really know why or when this started, but now, it has become how I sneeze. It's weird and it hurts.
Sometimes, the noise that comes out when I sneeze is very much like a squeak. I get odd looks from those near by. Sometimes they don't know what it was. "Was that a sneeze?" "Did you just squeak?" Yes and yes. I can't really control it.
Being sick is gross. It makes me feel like a child, but in a bad way. I become helpless and snotty- like a child.
