come inside where it's okay and i'll shake you

i think i am getting sick. i thought it was just the wintertime runny-nose blues, but my body seems pretty angry with me in more ways than that. i am trying to treat it well, giving it lots of liquids and going to bed when it tells me it wants to. what a time for disruption as well, as i'm sure i have an allnighter ahead of me.
i'm trying to do nicer things in general, like wearing tanktops or slips around my apartment - it's funny what you forget about during the winter season. i have been living alone for the past few days in the flat, because i think laura my american flatmate is on a trip somewhere, and my two scottish flatmates have long left for home. i always say i don't want to live alone because i am kind of a scaredy-cat and would feel insecure/unprotected, but it has actually been pretty nice and i haven't minded at all.
last night i finished knitting a scarf i had been working on for ages just because i felt like it and didn't want to watch it collect dust anymore. it's pretty and midnight blue.
oh and i've also been slowly working on my essay. really it is just so tiresome but it cannot be ignored. sigh, i should go drink some tea or eat a throat lozenge or something and begin my day's work. wish me needed luck.
