Ice and Germ Warfare

Captains log 4: 30.1.11

My computer now officially has a name, Igby Kiril.  I am also happy to report that I have successfully ignored the siren song of distraction in favour of getting school work done. 
Last night, I  aided two of my friends in conquering their fear of ice.  One I simply had to, after dragging her onto the ice, remind her the ice was an inanimate object and what she was really afraid of was falling. Strangely enough she was one of the few in the entire rink who survived the whole night without doing so. 
My other friend took a lot more convincing. She had never been on the ice before and truly felt it was out to get her.  She went around the rink twice clinging to the walls before I was allowed to give her my arm and skate around with her. By the end of the event, she like my other friend had greatly improved and was one of the few to not have fallen the whole time. 
I count this as a success. 
Lately I have also been battling a much more sinister enemy, a germ or bacteria of some sort. I remain unsure of what its intent is because it changes so frequently. Mostly I retain a a mild to moderate fever headache, Yesterday a cough joined  to add injury to my headache.  Now my head pounds whenever I cough, not a fun sensation. The weird part is that I will feel okay during the day and the symptoms will only show up at evening and night-ish. 
I have not given in yet, however, I am planning a retaliation attack with emergen-c and lots of sleep. 
I will tell you how it goes.
Maybe, if life continues.

Floyd, out.
