I hab a code ana coff ana sduffed-up dose I feel like hammered shit. Fess up; who has the croup?
My throat is sore, too. I was trying to sing last night (doing more recording) and the vocal is AWFUL. It's barely even good enough for a scratch track.
This is my sixth day off work. I had tonsillitis, and now I have a viral infection. Blegh I'm sick of fever dreams and feeling like crap. I am kind of enjoying playing hidden object games, though - they normally bore me shitless but are kinda soothing when I'm unwell.
I also love the word catarrh. Say it - catarrrrhh.
Stay away from my daughter. She gets croup about two or three times a year, which is two or three times too many. When it happens she gets panicky and loses the ability to, you know, breathe. Coup bad. When I hear the stridorous coughing, it's a signal that she will be miserable and I will be getting 0 sleep. Gah.
I made enough chicken soup last night to feed all of Metachat, so I'll send it out to the bunnies that TPS can't get to!
Mmmmm.... chicken soup....
I got my flu shot as well. I normally don't, but I'm working in a school and taking university classes with people who are working in elementary schools, so I figured my chances this year of catching something were higher than good. It does have a weirdly reassuring effect. (Well, not that weird, I guess.)
