I called in sick to work today, something that I am extremely loath to do since it’s a waste of a completely good day of nenkyu that could otherwise be used to do something fun.

I used to love autumn and the transition from summer, but over the past six years or so I’ve consistently fallen ill at this time of year and I’m now coming to dread it. It’s especially annoying this year with my wedding now only two months away. Unlike most brides-to-be (including my own) who worry endlessly about losing/maintaining their weight in order to fit into their wedding gown, I’m terrified that I won’t be able to gain any in time for the big day so I don’t look like the scrawny little boy I resemble now.

Oh well, here’s hoping the NyQuil I just received covertly in the mail last weekend will do the trick and I can get back to hopelessly stuffing my bony face with food.
