overstayer

there's this unsettling scratchiness and clogging in my throat and nose that's been bugging me since sunday. it feels like i'm standing right on the cusp of a fever/flu, expecting (and wanting!) it to kick in, but it simply remains in annoyingly defiant stasis.

downing my 2nd steaming cup of herbal tea now, enjoying the bitterness in the soothing black liquid and meditating on atmospheric songs by delirious?.
