Worse and worse

I am home from school today; I was up all night coughing and the like. I am hoping this is the worst this thing will get. I thought the pertussis was on the run, but it seems that if you strike it down, it shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Whatever the case, my cough has worsened significantly.
I think a slow day is probably a good thing anyway. I need a bit of time to catch up on college work, generally relax, and drink tea (although we are out of honey).
