This is a gross post. I do not often get sick. In fact, in the past 3 years, I have been sick exactly 3 times. For­tu­nately, they have all come at the least inop­por­tune times — dur­ing var­i­ous breaks. I got sick two Christ­mases ago, and then again last Christ­mas, and now I’m sick again dur­ing sum­mer break. All three times have been really insanely awful sinus infec­tions. I’m not the sort of per­son who gets sinus infec­tions with every cold. No, I only get sinus infec­tions when I get something–we’re talk­ing about for­eign bod­ies here–stuck up my nose. I don’t go around putting things up there delib­er­ately. Christ­mas [ . . . ]
