What, I ask you, did people DO before there was earl grey tea? Seriously. Nothing is more comforting than a cup of EG when you’re sick.
And I’m sick.
I’m convinced that there is a cold conspiracy. I think colds get together (with the bacterial infections and the viruses) at conferences each term and map out my timetable. Then they are each assigned a time to attack me, generally right before a paper is due. But not the night before, not when I could get a note to excuse it. Always the week before when I’m trying to concentrate on research.
Boo.
