Down With The Sickness*

How long do colds really last? I've been sick going on eight days now. Awesome.

I had a cold-ish thing (the kind where you feel lousy, but not so lousy that you can bed-rid yourself) last week then started feeling better over the weekend. So I decided it would be okay to go to a birthday party on Saturday in the hills. I even got a burger (and a filet!) grilled especially for me. Nourishment for the sick.

So Sunday was a sleepy-eyed blur and then I woke up on Monday feeling even worse than I originally did. My nose hurts and I want to itch my eyeballs out of my head. Had I bought stock in Kleenex this week I would be doing quite well.

*Sniff, sniff* I want my Mommy. If any of you want to fly out here and bring me some chicken noodle soup or more herbal tea you can. Jag once brought me the soup, the pot, and the ladle.

Now, I lay me down to sleep off what's (hopefully) the rest of the misery.

*Also the title of a Disturbed song. Considering the nature of the lyrics, it sounds like someone was pretty disturbed when they wrote them.
