Finalized my application for university. Time for this dropout to drop back in again, finally.

Despite not being ill any longer I'm still having a really annoying cough. For most time I'm not coughing at all and all's well but wait 'til a customer comes in and it's on. Worst is if I have to reach for something on the upper shelf or climb (a very rickety) little ladder to get a frame from up the wall, I just managed to cough almost nonstop for 10 min and two customers and the moment they were out the cough was gone. Trolled by a virus...

Aw, I know the feeling. My coughs always linger after colds, and it's just plain annoying, especially when you're trying to get work done. I hope it goes away soon!

Congrats, Emil! That's awesome. Good luck with everything. < 3

Laufey good lord that's the WORST. D'you find that when you're a coughing mess, you can't stop, but coughing just makes you cough MORE....

...Anyway. I have a four day weekend coming up, and I'm so excited. Going to write all the things, yes indeedy.

Thank yous for the cough sympathy, it's definitely annoying to greet customers with a "Good day how can I-ack hack cough hrrrk coughcoughCOUGHCOUGHCOUGH". :-\

D'you find that when you're a coughing mess, you can't stop, but coughing just makes you cough MORE....

Oh man yes! After a while of that you're wondering whether you're going to choke or puke first...  :P

You should hope it doesn't stick. I was sick years ago and have been coughing ever since.

Mayyyybe have that looked at... sounds a bit worrying. Also I really, really hope I won't cough for years, just a few days is enough to make me want to hit my head to the wall in unison with the coughing.

I did recently. I did find out that apparently my nose is broken, although that probably wasn't the cause of the coughing (they checked nose to see if there were drips into the lungs or something). Best theory I've gotten is that its just become an involuntary habit of some sort. And I know the feeling, random coughing fits can be terribly annoying.

Having teachers at home is sometimes funny ;D One of them told us he made a lesson on Rome's foundation today and asked the pupils if they knew which animal took in Romulus and Remus. Enthusiasm from pupils, answering : "I know, I know ! A rabbit !"
We're still trying to understand why a rabbit ^^

Wow. Wake up in the middle of the night hungry, only to realize this friday we won't be having tacoes because of my dad's tonsils removal. He is forbidden from eating anything that could potentially make the surgical wounds bleed or worse.

Darn, and I was looking forward to some mexican goodness.
