So, after a rather restless night I find myself awake and wondering why they don’t manufacture these cold viruses to be better responded to by the over the counter cold medicines (hee hee hee). I have to say that the only thing the night cold medicine is doing for me is knocking me out and the real bummer is that by the time I wake up and realize that I need to take another dose so that I can get back to sleep, it is too late…the symptoms (choking, coughing, stuffy nose…) have already taken hold and I must sit and wait to become drowsy enough that the urge to cough is overpowered by the urge to sleep….further, I believe that I am burning a hole in my stomach with that wretched stuff…
Ugh, it’s 6:19…no, wait…6:20 and the sun is coming up. My cough has abaited and my eyelids are getting heavy but the suction in my face just won’t quit and I am afraid if I lay down that I wil choke on my own mucus factory…Ally and Erin are exchanging zzz’s and I am seriously jealous of my dogs who aren’t at risk for catching this terrible thing….my nose is red and raw from blowing and my lips are chapped from all my mouth-breathing–oops! make that chapped and split thanks to that sneeze just now….I fear I might be up for good…at least for a little while…but staring at this screen won’t help sleep come, so I am going to close…
I hope that today marks a day of feeling better….
I don’t like to throw the “H” word around a lot, but I am going to use it appropriately here: I HATE chapped AND split lips! (The absolute worst is when they split at the corners!!! If you haven’t experienced it, pray that you don’t!) Hope you’re feeling better soon, oh, and BTW, your phrase about a mucous factory immediately conjured images for me of the Mucinex commercials of late–I guess they’re working!
