Ugh

I woke up this morning sick. It was that sick one contracts when they sleep in a drafty room, the nasal area feels raw. This has lead to a sore throat, head ache, body ache, etc. I just feel under the weather.

I was late to Phil - I would have been (just) on time, however my normal parking lot was shut down. I had to park in the far south area - and walk back to Preston. I made it in about 10 min. I again decided not to attend music - by the finish of class I was feeling rather under and just wanted to go home.

Instead of going home, though, where I knew I would sit around or sleep, I went to Starbucks and drank some San Pellegrino and herbal tea, while I read Miriam Byrd's essay on Plato (very very interesting). After a few hours of productivity and sitting outside (it was quite nice, I would have liked to enjoy it more), I went home and slept. When I awoke, I felt even worse, and simply couldn't go to the lecture.

I will have to remember to ask Professor Reeder some questions about the essay and, more specifically, Plato. If he cannot sufficiently answer, I will have to contact Byrd (and, of course, apologize for not attending her lecture).

I have some phil. thoughts I would like to work on, but I need to sleep and such. Oh well....
