having a really bad urti.

why she will work through the night despite falling ill.

a sorethroat coupled with an annoying paroxysmal cough.

those chills and rigors starting to set in.

feeling a tad under the weather and thinks it's only the tip of the iceberg.

can't believe she has to return today.

have to try again.

still hoping for a miracle or sheer stroke of luck to befall her this afternoon at 1410 (GMT+10).

she could say it like she meant it.

forget it, this isn't working, i give up.
