Nimbus 18, 27.

CONCEPT

COMMENTS
Well, firstoff, this usually happens once in February/March, once in March/April, and once in October/November, and that is that I get sick as a dog. I've been fortunate this year to have missed out upon the latter two last time around, but I knew I was in trouble the moment I woke up yesterday.
Headache! Congestion! Dizzy Spells! Ohh. I feel like some creature that exists for no reason other than to ooze and feel miserable for itself.
I came to work, though. Having a slew of scary expenses upcoming certainly changes one's perspective on these things.
