       cold

       I've got a cold. It's just a regular one, don't worry. Even so,
       it's so frustrating. I go to few places, mix with very few people,
       wear a mask in public, wash my hands and disinfect things, and
       still I get a cold. It's not the first one either. I've been sick
       a lot this past year.
       
       The source is probably the kid and his friends. Little kids bring
       all the illnesses with them and I tend to get them all. Even
       taking that into account, though, they're isolated and their
       spaces are cleaned religiously. They should be a smaller vector
       now too. But my sniffly nose disagrees.
       
       I've started taking in-person Icelandic classes this past week.
       No, the illness isn't from there. Nobody there is sick and we're
       all distanced and whatnot. I go back on Monday and I hope I'm
       feeling better by then. I can't willingly bring a cold into that
       room and I know if I start missing classes I'm not going to keep
       up.
       
       Hurry up, nose!
