Sick Day

I wasn't feeling well all week and consequently my posting suffered but I'll put up a few posts today about this week to make up for that. Sick days are like the lamer version of snow days! At the seminary, it means you go into self imposed quarantine and begin to take your meals in your room, sit in the infected section at Mass which is behind the credence table toward the back, don't shake hands with anyone (dude, last night was my first hand shake in days, I didn't think I'd notice but man you do feel isolated) and of course don't go to class (that part was pretty tolerable). It also means that most likely you'll be going to the noon Mass which is for commuters and staff and not the morning liturgy with the seminary (also a plus and a minus). There have been in the past house jobs like infirmanarian who would be charged with taking meals to the sick people and I think stocking a community medicine cabinet. No such job or cabinet exists in the college at the moment, sadly, so it was just lots and lots of orange juice.
