Quoting MSgt B...

Blaghh 
A miserable cold.  With the gut wrenching, pee pants cough if I move.  I'm just hoping that it's peaking today - I have things I need to do over the weekend.  

The way viruses work is to get inside a cell and reproduce madly until the cell explodes.  Kinda makes me feel funny to know that I feel lousy because my cells are exploding.


At least Blu appreciates my company.

Ahhhhh-choo!

I've left the caer just twice this week and yet I woke up this morning with a very unpleasant bug.  The cats are happy to have me on the sofa to drape themselves over, except the sneezing and coughing thing.


Excuse me while I return to contemplating how it is that my head can be so completely stuffed up and still produce so much snot...

Thoughtful Kitties

Diagnosis - bacterial infection of throat.  Doc said something about it being like having bronchitis in the throat.  I really didn't care about the details.  At that point I was at the "Just make it better pleeeeeaaaasssseee!" stage.  Although I couldn't say that because I pretty much completely lost my voice for two days.  Thanks to antibiotics, I'm feeling better today.  Not ready to dance a jig, but better.

The cats have been happy to have me to cuddle with for hours on end, and apparently they are aware enough of something being wrong that they felt they should help with my care.  So when I woke up yesterday morning I found that they very thoughtfully had left breakfast in bed next to me:


I really was appreciative.  They were probably somewhat puzzled by my tossing their gift out the door, though.

Hack, wheeze

And I'm thinking maybe strep - a trip to the urgent care may be in order.  Back when my groggy brain, much jostled by coughing, begins functioning again.
