In sickness and in health

I have a chest infection.

I lost my voice completely. I can barely breathe properly. I have an appetite but can't taste anything so I'm not really eating.

Phlegm should be a four letter word. Evidently I am made of it. I find it hard to believe that so much crap can come out of someone so small.

I took my wonder drug, Mucinex, at 7:30 this morning. attempted to cough up anything at all for 2 more hours, fell asleep till 1Pm. Its now 6:20 and I feel like I have been awake for 24 straight hours.

I can't cough up anything productive. So that's pissing me off. I'm pulling muscles in my torso from the coughing. If I see another cup of tea I'm going to throw it across the room.

So now between having my heart ache, my soul ache - lets add the body to that list.

I have a performance - a paying one - Tuesday. You know that I'm probably giving that up to my best friend. I don't see how I can do it. I hate to disappoint people, but they love him too so that should be OK and he needs the money as minimal as it is.

Soup is almost ready.

OH NO - you caught the Christmas Crud - and we're over 300 miles apart!!

I'm so sorry honey. Make sure you take a holiday crying break, drink some more friggin tea, and curl up with those kikkies of yours.

We're thinking of you and sending mentholhugs!
