My Immune System Sucks

I've been sick since Tuesday of last week and it's been horrible. Last week wasn't so bad, but Friday was the start of the downfall. Saturday I didn't even leave the dorm! My nose is sooooo congested and I've got crazy bad sinus pressure. I can handle almost anything a sickness dishes out, except for a stuffy/runny nose. I can't stand not being able to breathe!! Jeff says it's a defense mechanism of my body. It realizes that there is something bad inside and my body has "secured the perimeter." My body is closing off all the exits to make sure nothing else gets it. But that doesn't make any sense...My body doesn't want anything else coming into it, so it closes of everything, even my air passage??? Stupid. And, I lost my voice on Sunday and it's just gotten worse since then. I woke up today with body aches...good grief. Luckily, I didn't have any classes today, so I was able to take a sick day. I'm feeling a little better, but I'm not a fan of not having my voice. I love singing in the shower, and with my voice gone, that's not an option :[ I'm really hoping I'm over my sickness by this weekend. I don't wanna be sick when Jeff and I celebrate valentine's day...
