Cold progressing fast

[cjsmith]

I'm past the eating-caltrops stage, past the brief "feeling half decent except my nose is a faucet" stage, and am now in the "there's a knife behind my sternum" stage. I don't think I've had things go this fast before.

Didn't sleep at all last night - had to keep getting up to blow my nose & take more Sudafed. Also, any time I breathed I needed to cough, and even the tiniest cough-like hint of motion reminded me of that knife behind my sternum. But man, is this cough ever productive. That stuff tastes truly nasty, by the way. I'd forgotten how nasty.

Also, when I try to talk I sound like a duck. I think today will be another stay in bed day.

Thanks! About the tea: whenever I am sick I rediscover that warm / hot water is the soothingest drink in the whole wide world. Mmmmm, hot water.

Rob did find cough and cold medicine in pill form. YAY!

I'll be wearing a face mask on the plane. I'm wishing the person who sat behind me on the flight to Louisville, almost a week ago, had had one. She was coughing up a storm and not even trying to cover her mouth. (Thanks, lady, for the wonderful holiday you gave me.)
