sick

this sickness has been bothering me for the last few days. i haven't been sick like this for awhile and it reminds me of when i used to get sick like this at least twice a year. d has been taking good care of me. he's making sure i take my meds, get some food in my stomache when i'm feeling really bad, massaging my aching back whenever i ask him to, and making sure i always have a glass of sprite nearby. just right now he gave me the look and asked "so have you been drinking your sprite?" and i responded "tea" which resulted in a head nod from him. yes, those who know me know that i don't drink tea. it's gross. basically it's like flavored water, which i also don't like but this sickness has been so painful IN THE NECK and head due to all the coughing from my itchy throat that i was going to drink anything that would help soothe the pain. so d got my some jasmine green tea and honey this morning after his finals and haircut. not only did it help soothe my throat just like everybody claimed it would, i can definitely say that i am pleasantly surprised with the taste of the tea (although i'm sure the added honey and sugar is what made it pleasant). regardless, i think i can now say that "i enjoy drinking tea."
