I never did formally explain myself, did I?
In the spring, I tend to get bad allergies, but not debilitating. What I didn't take into account was that I was already getting too little sleep and doing too much physical work, which resulted in the worst two weeks ever, health-wise. (Had the swine flu happened earlier, I probably would have been a prime suspect...) The fact that I'm already kind of sickly only made things worse too.
I was planning on asking my sister to come in and at least say something, but she was constantly out with concerts and other stuff (her school choir went and performed around the Midwest US for some time, and she went to Springfield, Illinois, for a teaching contest)... So that didn't really pan out either.
Hopefully, my cursed meta will be gone now that I'll be done with school and the start of spring is past... You have my apologies.
