So this afternoon in a meeting I was at the tickle-in-the-throat-that-makes-you-cough-so-hard-you-throw-up stage and tonight at dinner I was at the pass-me-all-the-napkins-so-I-can-blow-five-gallons-of-snot-out-my-nose stage.

A jug of water and three lozenges did nothing to help the meeting problem, and two extra strong margaritas, spicy wings and quesadillas did nothing to help the dinner problem.

THERE IS NO FIX. AM DOOMED TO BE ILL FOREVER.*


*Shut up, I'm also at the 'when will this all end' stage.

I'm all outta DayQuil AND NyQuil.

They don't sell it in Australia, no will Walgreens et al ship it to me.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET RID OF THIS COLD?

Still sick.

Still went to work.

On the upside, I started doing Lite'n'Easy this week so I don't even have to contemplate cooking... just have to shove a box in the microwave.

You say lazy, I say efficient.

Was thisclose to taking a sick day today and probably should have but it's only my second week in the job so by the grace of a truckload of DayQuil and some VERY strong black coffee, I managed to struggle through.

What's the bet I collapse into bed at 9pm and then wake up at 3am bright as a button?

Just give me ALL the cold and flu medication you have. Now.

I have no time for this throat infection that seems to have reared its ugly head.

NO. TIME.
