I have a raging sore throat, my head starts throbbing every time I stand up, my body is really weak and fatigued, and I have a fever that is sometimes topped by chills. Four blankets and a space heater later, I’m still not quite warm, but I’m sweating at the same time. All I want to do is sleep. And I wish my boyfriend didn’t live three hours away so he could come take care of me. I feel so unbearably vulnerable right now.
