    I think a lot of illness is a reflection of your (un)happiness. ..

    I had an autumn cold a couple of months ago, but so mild it was hardly noticeable and only lasted a couple of days.

      Every day I went home sick as a dog wishing I was a permy though.
      I know the feeling. I once was soo sick I left early. i had to use the toilet three times on the 45min. journey home. I felt embarrassed to ask for a seat so just sat on the floor next to the toilet.

        OMG. 4 days? You sure it wasn't SARS?
