I'm cancelling classes for the second straight day. I feel drained and weak, and can't stand for long. I can sit up just fine, though I'm sneezing and coughing while I do so. And my voice is shot.
I am postponing my Monday/Wednesday class midterms until October 25; my Humanities class still has its response paper due next week. I have every expectation that I will be in tomorrow.
Lots of fresh ginger tea, especially since your voice is shot!
If you were in Bali (or elsewhere in Indonesia), people might say that you have masuk angin 'entering wind'. The cures for that are either a back- and limb-breaking massage (with a medicated oil or balm of some kind); the cok, where the edge of a coin is rubbed all over your back to release this "wind", leaving surface welts; or a combination of both.
Well, anyhow, hope you feel better tomorrow.

Praying that you will feel better!

Thanks, Merm. Ed, I think I'll skip the surface welts!
