Achoo! bleeeuuuurgh...

I believe that having a cold, or any type of illness like this, has got to be one of the most annoying things on earth. Because you aren't really sick enough to stay in bed, or get much sympathy at all. But you ARE sick enough to wish you COULD stay in bed. However, if you did, and I actually could, being as I don't have an actual job to drag myself to or school or anything, - but if you did, you'd be in bed for like 2 weeks. And that shit's boring.

So instead you suffer through the days with a kleenex to your face. And a horrendous sounding voice which sounds as though it belongs to a smoker who's had a two pack a day habit for the last 43 years. Which is tremendously sexy, as you all well know.

And you are supposed to rest and drink plenty of fluids in order to feel better faster. And yet, you feel your worst when waking up in the morning. Because during the course of the night, your clogged nose forces you to breathe through your mouth which in turn dries out your entire head. Also, if you are particularly congested and have an active post nasal drip, you have one bastard of a sore throat. Also, when your head dries out, the stuffy nose snot that you weren't able to blow out because you were, you know, sleeping... It solidifies completely, adding at least 15 pounds to your sinus region. And you have to work and work and work with kleenex tissues until you start to feel like a human being again rather than a great big and unusually diseased looking cement block encased in pale sickly flesh.



My day is starting out beautifully.
