I have spread my genes.

No, before you shake your fists at the lucky girl, we should clarify there isn't one. Not in the gene-sowing sense anyway.

I just noticed I managed to fill two whole rubbish bags (the big ones) with tissues from my recent hayfever/flu defeat. If by defeat you mean shifting twice my own weight in fluid through two small vents not really designed for repeated abrasion.

The good citizen that I am I got off the internet and came out briefly from my week-long stupor to recycle a small tree and several aloe plants worth of tissues.

I wonder what they recycle tissues - and my mucus cells - into?

I bet you'll all be eating my goobies at McDonalds by January. Mmm, chicken mcsnotlets. There's a little bit of me in every one.
