Still sickly, sadly

I was hoping I'd be feeling all better by today, but alas, I have not yet recovered. I've still got this awful hacking cough that makes my lungs hurt, as well as being all sweaty-clammy skinned, and woozy/light-headed. It sucks, I've missed 3 days of work now. Which makes me feel like a bum or something. I had been expecting that I'd feel well enough today to go back to work, so I feeling disappointed that I ended up having to call in sick.

That whole debacle in Egypt recently has inspired me to re-read The Trouble With Islam by Irshad Manji. Excellent book, but rather sad. It isn't really meant to be sad/depressing, she seems quite optimistic/hopeful throughout the book, but I still come away feeling like these things never really seem to change much or really get all that much better in the end. I read about 180 pages (of 237 pages) yesterday while laid up in bed sick.

I think I shall go make myself some tea now.
