Yeah, that’s been the sound of me for the last week or so. The stomach flu hit the household and I did a lot of laundry right around Christmas. A LOT of laundry. And while the nastiness of the 24 to 48 hour virus passed me by, I ended up with a series of cough and cold symptoms you wouldn’t believe. I’ve had sinus issues, headaches, body aches, nasal drips, congestion, sore throats, and an unbelievable hacking cough that wouldn’t let me lay down for more than about 5 minutes.

I’ve used every pill, syrup and powder under the sun. I even considered trying weight loss pills that work on colds…or so they say on some of the scarier pseudo-medical-advice blogs. Dude…this coughing thing really sucks.

Finally, though, I’m thinking it is leaving me be. finally I’ve made it through a night without hacking half the night away. Sleep, glorious sleep.
