Diseased

So I guess all I have to say about life right now is in the title. Which means you can stop reading now. "Check your brains at the entrance" and all that, you know. I know I certainly did.
Anyway, I've gone through a run of fevery aches, sore throat, all the head-congestion symptoms on the books, as well as a fairly nasty cough over the last few days. (As well as a startling number of bruises, but I must attribute them to my inborn clumsiness rather than my cold.) Had to back out of AWANA, skip Youth Group, and cancel piano lesson because of it. Not pleasant. But, unfortunately, I'm far better off than many people I know at the moment. Two people I know (a man from our home church in KS and a lady here) had serious heart trouble in the last week. Please keep them in prayer.
On a more cheerful note, school's rolling again--slowly. I find I quite missed comp class over our break. Last week's assignment was a narrative (which I confess I wrote in a bit of a rush), and I had a blast over that. One of these days I'll put it up here for public consumption. This week we do some sketches, and I have the perfect subject for one of them, as I had a new story idea last night, and it's been buzzing around in my brain and hammering on the walls to get out. Otherwise, geometry and worldviews remain their intractible selves. Spanish is enjoyable, if easy and neglected. Don't ask me about chemistry. Only six weeks of school left. I think I can make it.
I'm reading Robert Jordan's "The Eye of the World" with great eagerness, enjoyment, and whatnot. I would probably have finished the book by now, if it were not for school and the raging sinus headaches accompanying head congestion. Are any of my distinguished readers familiar with this book?
As for the family, well . . . Dad's sick too, though I don't think he got it from me. Samuel watches Timothy play computer games and reads in between times, Timothy plays the computer games which Samuel watches and does school the rest of the time. Oh, and the guys (namely Dad et Timothy) are enjoying the mocha chocolate cheesecake with which I bribed them to move my furniture. Mother is busy doing worldviews, bible study work, spring cleaning, and Sunday school-related business.
And now I am weary and must sleep.
