This line made me laugh so hard, especially because the subtext is never confirmed nor denied.
I’ve been almost sick for almost a week now. It started with huge headaches, which then morphed into possibly feverish tendencies and general complete lack of energy. Somehow none of those were ever together in a strong enough combination to make me need to take more than one dose of medicine in this time.
