Feverish Longing

Sick. Sick of being sick. Vast quantities of snot. A truly impressive cough, conjuring up images of tuberculosis-doomed Victorian invalids. Plugged-up ears. A raw throat. A dull head.

But no temperature (tho' of course one does have a temperature, just a normal one). So not really sick. Without fever, one must keep on working. One longs for a fever.
