A sign

You know you might've been sick too long when you wake up in the morning marveling at the fact that, however impossible it may seem, you feel worse than you did yesterday and the sudden realization that you are so cold you might just die at any second from the extreme coldness of the cold flowing through your veins that you grab the nearest article of clothing which happens to be your rattiest Eskimo Joe's sweatshirt that you vaguely remember wearing all day Tuesday but it doesn't matter that it's dirty, you put it on anyway because unbeknownst to you, roughly four hours from that moment you are literally going to wipe your nose on the sleeve and you won't even care.
