Relax; take it easy...

Every single time I get a fever, it's accompanied by sharp, spikey pains in the joints of my fingers, shoulders, and knees, and I get hypersensitive skin. The shifting of my shirt sleeves hurts. I'm not even that sick; I just came down with a head cold last night (picked up from the cashier at the grocery store the day before that, I have no doubt). So does this happen to anyone else?

At any rate, it's three hours til Christmas! I would have quite happily spent the night with my telescope trained on Mars and the moon, but, alas, it is cloudy. Instead, I'll just wrap up in my electric blanket, read, and wait for the decongestant to kick in. Onward to Christmas! Enjoy!
