One late night recently, after the Unsupportive Louse returned home from yet another day spent slaving over a document no one will ever read, he was generous enough to ask me how I was.
"I have this horrible hacking cough, my throat is dry and scratchy and my nose is all congested and the congestion is making my head pound too. Plus my mouth and tongue are all dried out because I can't breathe out of my nose. I'm frigging exhausted and the Energizer Bunny didn't take a nap today so I didn't even get a break all day."
He regards me calmly and replies, "If I'm sick the week before my thesis is due, I'm gonna be pissed."
It's so good to know he cares about me!
You're funny. I enjoyed this lillte scene.
